Why is my upper chest stronger than my lower chest?

What if you only work upper chest?

If you only work on your chest, the muscles do not necessarily grow and grow the way you think they might. In fact when you only develop the chest muscles, they grow tighter and tighter, and this begins to affect your overall posture in a way that likely does not match the desired result you were hoping for.

Are dips good for lower chest?

Chest dips are a more difficult lower chest exercise. You will need to use dip or parallel bars, but rather than hitting the triceps (which is most common in this exercise), you’re changing things up. To target the lower chest, you need to add an angle to your movement.

Can I train my upper chest and lower chest?

What you can’t do is just train your upper chest or lower chest in isolation of the other. But, what you can do to some extent is put a little more targeted training stress on one area than the other. Not isolate… just put a bit more emphasis on it.
