They look like pecs with excessive body fat. Nothing that weight training and some cardio can't fix. Also- what does your diet look like?

i eat a lot of protein in each meal with about 500 ml of water in every meal. eat ever few hours of about 300-400 calories each so i intake about 1800 a day. certain days they look more muscular such as yesterday, but today they seemed a bit pudgier then usual since i worked my chest yesterday. But yes i would like to reduce the fat on top cus they do have the shape of pecs i think

Not sure on your routine, but do you equally work on the rest of your body? shoulders and back? and so on?

I meant... give us an example of a typical day of eating. I bet a lot of it has to do with your diet. And like 01 asked: are you working out just your chest?

dinner: piece of lean chicken with veggies and brown rice

and i dont only do chest
mondays: bench press/flys/biceps/incline bench/triceps
tuesdays: legs (squat deadlift, etc)
wednesday:back/shoulders/bench press/decline bench/biceps/triceps

Check out how much sugar is in that yogurt, same with the balance bar. I'd also add some more protein to your snacks. I can't really understand your program but it sort of looks like... a full .. no nevermind it's not that clear.

I think that if you put a weight training program together that was more structured and hit all of your major muscles 3 times a week and continued to do cardio at least 5 days a week.. you may start to see results. Check out this article too, I found it quite interesting:

Sure. Do you want to do full body training or split? How many days do you want to dedicate to weight training?

Also, you've said you do workout the rest of your body. Do you find you equally strain each of your muscle groups? I know a lot of people with chest strength will be benching big numbers but doing a lot less with every other muscle group, is that the case my any chance?

split. but in the summer i am going to start doing full body training to change things up. so both would be helpful if you can give me tips. and i typically lift mon-thurs. sometimes friday. but cardio at least 5-6 days a week.

and to trainer's question. i do work out and strain all of my muscle groups as equally as possible. one mistake i was making was not working my shoulders and back, but now i am starting to dedicate a day to working that muscle group.

It's totally up to you. I think that if you work hard on those 3 days that'll be fine but if you'd like to do legs twice a week you certainly can.
