    Are presses enough for upper chest?

    @curiousmel As I said add it if you Have to. You might not. The bigger and thicker you are the more you might need to. If you just want to tag it on do 1 set to near failure then with minimal rest another set with half the reps. Done.

    Are presses enough for upper chest?

    @curiousmel My suggestion is to try it and see. My experience says it might be enough for a lot of people. Particularly if you are thin. Push Ups, Push Ups w/ handles, Dips, and weighted Dips are all good mass building options. KB and one of them push up and dip racks would have 90% of your...

    Kettlebell noob here, would appreciate some tailored advice for what to buy to supplement my research. :)

    @gregory_r_g For a similar price as a 16 and 24 you could get an adjustable one from Rogue or Kettlebell Kings. Eg https://www.kettlebellkings.com/12-32kg-adjustable-competition-style-kettlebell/
