http://www.powerfultrainingsecrets.com - the inner chest is critical for maximizing the visual impact of your chest. And it's also tough to hit with standard free weight exercises. This version of the bench press has you shifting your grip at the bottom of each rep. You'll rest the bar on your chest (while maintaining tension in the upper body and holding your breath to stabilize the torso) then shift your grip slightly inwards. Press up then lower and repeat until your hands are shoulder-width apart and you're doing close-grip bench press. Then repeat, shifting your hands outwards. This will set your inner chest on fire!
you cant train the "inner" chest, the musclefibers goes in one direction, and that is from the midsection of your chest, and out towards your shoulders. one thing you can is: move the stress a little up and down your chest.

@bloever1234 True, you can't isolate them, but I believe you can shift tension towards the origin of the fibers (the inner chest) based on how you apply that tension. All the fibers are going to get worked, but the inner chest is going to get a bit more. Definitely give the technique a try and let me know what you think!

Looks good.
Can I walk en in say for 6, then walk en out for 6, for a total 12 reps or is more walk en in and walk en out the better

@petzarb - I only did it walking in to close grip then walking out. Found that to be VERY effective, but you can definitely try the other way, too!
