Need an exercise

    To help tone/build my upper chest, just below my neck line, kind of along the collar bone line. Any help would be appreciated as this area really lacks definition. Have access to most machines/weights in a standard gym.

    The incline press would be a good place to start as it works the tops of your pecs.

    Everyone has differently shaped muscles, and mostly that shape is outside your control. If you are missing mass from the top of your pecs, you probably need to build up the pec in general.

    It's one muscle, though it does attach in a few places, I've seen it debated whether it is possible to actually change the shape of the muscle by putting stress on a particular attachment.

    I don't think it's my peck size in general, I mean I'm only 76kg and was doing 40kg dumbells presses on the bench in each hand so my peck strength is ok'ish and my friends do mention that my pecks have considerable mass. But when I wear v-neck singlets in the gym I don't see much definition on the joining of my upper pecktorials. It may be a question of losing more body fat for that definition that I see other guys with or exercises like the incline bench the previous poster mentioned

    Upright seated cable flies with the cable being pulled from the bottom of the machine (hope that makes sense). I find it a tricky area to hit as often the front delt will come in to play

    You don't see much definition on the joining up your upper pecs? I assume you mean cleavage, as in the space in between your pecs.

    You could try inclined press ups (feet up high), incline dumbbell/cable flyes, incline benching.

    It's good to mix it up every workout.
