There are ample poeple including my slef that will disprove your theory and disagree with it. But your entitled to your own opinion.
One thing I would like to carify is that I and most high volume people count their warmup sets, thus adding to the volume of the workout.
Also speaking only for myself on this one I found that that depending on the excersize and the muscles i'm hitting low rep/ heavy weight do not always cause me to grow.
hows this
i used it today...im seeing if it was fine, thats as close as i can get, except this weird ass 1980 bench that is like a 5% incline lol

OK...here is my take on the matter. Your chest is made up of basically 2 muscles....
1)The Sternal Head
and the
2)Clavicular Head
Now since the Sternal Head is basically the entire chest and you cannot spot build a muscle...I don't believe in the notion that inclines will develop the upper chest. Inclines will build your Clavicular Head but I don't think it will be noticable because it is a small muscle. Heavy, overall chest exercises that build mass is the key. Genetics are a huge roll in the shape of the overall muscle regardless of size.

So you don't do inclines?

No...LiftTillIDie said:
What I am saying is I don't believe you can build the upper portion of a single muscle. You can only build the whole muscle and then genetics takes over as to how it proportions the muscle. This is what I think...I may be totally wrong.
PB...instead of dreaming about the crotch area of the picture I posted...what is your take on this?
