| | Chest too massive Hi all.
I'm working out since 4 years and everything is developing well. I gained alot of mass, especially in the chest area ( no fat ..bf is less than 10%).
The situation at the moment is that my lower chest and outer chest is way too big, which looks good with a shirt on, but without it it looks too feminim. I'd tried to concetrate on upper chest exercises only to get it even out but without success. My goal is to flatten the chest a bit, to avoid making them look too round. Can anyone help??? WOuld like to share some pics, but dont know how it works |

| | This is a real problem?  Does it look this massive? http://realmuscleonline.com/wp-conte...r_training.jpg
If not then there isnt a real prob. Just kidding tho.
If anything just work your back, arms, shoulders, ur whole upper bod to proportion everything out. |

| | | If you are lower than 10%, you don't need "definition training". If anything, you look disproportional because you ARE disproportional. Like Ex said, you should work your back, shoulders, and arms. Stop trying to chest exercise your way to a smaller chest. |

| | | Doesn't look bad at all. It's not like its fat or anything, its all muscle and you should be proud of it. Just stick to upper-chest exercises..thats all i can say. |

| | | Actually, another piece of advice you've heard already. If you can mass in your shoulders and arms, it will make your chest look smaller.
But really, don't be ashamed. You look beach ready to me. |

WOuld like to share some pics, but dont know how it works | You have some wonderful genetics and outstanding bodily composition.
Very broad shoulders and a good taper.
What is your current age? Hgt, and Wgt?
What program "specifically" have you been following? Sets, reps, and exercises?
What was your diet structure like?
I think in order to assist you as close to "optimally" as possible, giving some details of your training and dieting history would prove to be valuable.
Currently, I do not accept the idea of stopping or refraining from Pec weight training. However, if you disclose your personal history, it could point to the problem, expose "possible" weak points, and renew your program through some knowledgeable feed back from some of the regulars.
Best wishes in all that you do, young man,

But i want to keep the size of the other parts except of chest. My goal is to define it more..somehow to make it flatter..thats why i'm seeking for advice for special exercises for that matter...thanks for your comment. |

Chillen | Thanks alot. It would be great if u could assist me in finding the right program. To help u get a better overview about myself: I'm 28, asian 178cm height and 70 kg (pretty light weight, small bone structure) My training is 4 times a week which i divide by
Monday : Legs (squats,hack squat, leg press, calves)
Tuesday: Back (Deadlifts, Rear pulldown, bent over row, Close grip pulldowns, SHrugs) Triceps
Wednesday 3:Rest
Thursday: Chest (Dumbbell Bench press, Incline bench press, Incline Dumbbell press, Butterfly) Biceps
Friday 5: Shoulders (Behind Neck press, Front raise, Arnold press, Dumbbell shoulder press) Abs
My diet is simple. Not eating much..but trying to stay on food with lots of protein. Apart from that I'm drinking 3 times a day protein shakes..before and after working out and before night time.
Well thats pretty much it. Hope it's enough to give you a better idea. Thanks so much for the feedback! |

| | | From those pictures i think you should try to beef up your Traps and Delts.
Traps-heavy shrugs, power cleans/hang cleans(ultimate trap builder), farmers walk.
Delts- Arnold Press, front and side lat raises, possibly some hang snatches(these destroyed my delts) |  | | | Thread Tools | Search this Thread | | | | | Display Modes | Rate This Thread | Linear Mode | |
