pec shape

IGF and subsequent off shoots may change the genetic argument....we'll see

I have been fealing the same way as VTXDEVILDOG for these past 2 weeks. I have no clue why its starting do this.

Should good high protein diet and little carbs, high repetitions on chest/shoulder work outs and also taking anavar at 50mg e/d for 6 weeks be sufficient enough to reduce the roundness and fat on the sides of my pecs?

Iv been fealing uncomfortable lately and is getting anoyed with this.

Any workouts or anti-e's? please suggest any.

i have the same prob but dips and decline bench and flies have been working for me. go figure, genetics

A short gap meaning your bicep is close to your forearm. People with naturally high peak biceps have a larger gap. Compare pics of Sergio Oliva's front double bicep pose, to that of Arnold's and you'll see what I mean. You can see the shape difference.

Mine seems to look alot more like Arnolds than Sergios.

haha. yeah, mine is like Vince Taylors.

My arms have a genetic peak, but my brother's bi's have genetic mass. His arms are always jacked and he doesnt even workout. It's fkn annoying.

though genetics plays a huge role in the muscle shape, the type of training you incorporate will effect different muscle fibers, effecting the shape. the upper body is predominantly fast twitch muscle fiber so using heavier loads for shorter periods will stimulate these tissues over the slow twitch fibers (which are smaller). doing longer slower sets (which i love personally) arent that effective at stimulating the bigger fast twitch fibers. stimulating the smaller slow twitch fibers with long sets and high reps will not make the muscle as big as stimulating the fast twitch. from my personal experience i was really able to grow my chest alot by incorporating alot of 5x5 and 5x3 training, not just with presses but with flies also because the fly motion mimics the contraction of the pecs like a fan, the natural motion (presses do not do this). i focused this type of training for a few years and the results have been outstanding.

I'm the same way bro and I've come to terms with the fact that this is how I was designed. I have that gap inbetween my pecs and they round out. I've tried everything I could, concentrated like a mother but you can't build muscle where there is no muscle tissue to close the gap. My pecs are they way they are and the only thing I can do is make what is there bigger. When I see those big square chested dudes with complete connection I'm just like damn lucky bastards!

So what would be an effective way to hit arms if you have a peak shaped bicep? I have trouble building arm size even though the rest of my body is bigger.

Well hell, I guess i'll just have to live with it and work what i have. I was mostly concerned about starting a first cycle this being a possible characteristic of predisposition to gyno.
