Rounding Out Chest Muscle

[VeniceMscl]

Hey guys. Been working out for 10 years. Have really good size and definition...but my lagging body part is my chest. Its a good size. I'm 27, 6'3 215 45" chest. Not bad for size. But the lower/outer sweep is just not there. And neither is the small muscle in the middle of the chest near the clavicle. It's just not in proportion.
I have really wide shoulders that are easily developed. I am a stickler for form, but know when to cheat. Yet I can't get them to grow. Tons of incline db and bb presses, dips, declines, peck deck.
Anyone have some good out of the ordinary moves that I'm not thinking about
?
Thanks bros.

Genetics man. Check out an anatomy chart, there is no muscle in the middle of the chest around the clavicle (if I'm reading what you wrote correctly). A muscle either contracts or it doesn't, you cannot work or contract part of a muscle and you can't grow part of a muscle. It either grows as a whole or does not. Unless I'm misinterpreting something in your post I highly suspect that this is genetics. The only thing you can do is grow it all. Work on increasing your capacity in the bench or incline.

yeah, its shape is defined probably by genetics. You have to work the whole chest as a 'whole'. I could probably get away with 20 pushups and it looks great, its genetics for me....but legs...Damn things wont grow!!!

Yeah, I know you guys are right. I just gotta keep gettin bigger and it'll fill in over time.

the only thing to to is keep pounding away on flat/incline pressess and weighted dips to make that chest as big as it can be.

How many times a week are you training chest? I'd suggest 2x per week.

 

[VeniceMscl]

gotta weight my dips. good reminder. I don't train 2x a week b/c I'm an ecto and hedge towards the less is more principle inorder to not overtrain. But I should mix it up and do it 2x a week for a month or so. Props, bro.

Weighted dips made my chest balloon! By the time I got to the point of 2 45's and a 25 dangling beneath me, my chest looked unproportional to the rest of my body. This was with a healthy dose of flat/incline bench as well.

Seen a guy in our gym with fantastic traps, shoulders, guns and lats, but very poor legs. I find that chest is poor for me but I have legs that are all muscle and powerful as hell.

Make it bigger.

genetics is important to consider, like you guys said. I've also been doind spot injections into my chest the past few weeks. That has definately helped push things along. I usually go into the thickest part of the meat a couple inches above the nip. I definately get more sore and swolen, and I think eventually bigger, where I inject. Wonder if moving shots to the outer sweep or the high/central part of the chest would make any difference.
