Ok, obviously this guy has an insane physique... but as far as his chest goes, do you notice how it is real wide and developed everywhere. Do you think he overtrains his chest in comparison to the rest of his body? Is this just a product of hitting the chest from all angles... or genetics?

But looking at someone with the same "body structure" (can you define that better for me pls?) is all well and good but your genetics define the inclination your body will lean towards in response to training. But yes, I think we both agree that you can train only to the 'limits' of your body - eg, some guys just tend to have smaller arms, or big legs, or a lop-sided chest. It's just how it is.
But is it possible to develop full pecs? Absolutely. Is it possible to get a chest like this guy? Only time + training + diet can tell you that. Go for it anyway.
EDIT: photographers are paid to make people look ****ing awesome. Take that into account when looking at photos like this.

first i would workout for 2-3 years bulk and cut do some of that stuff get in a magazine get the right lighting and photoshop a good picture and your good to go.
I begin tomorrow. Eighteen weeks in this dark hole. 126 days of pain. 3024 hours of hunger and desire. I'm already counting the minutes, the seconds When it's over, I'll step into the light. I will shine...
Until then, you'll live in the shadow, in the darkness, in a place few will ever see... Where ugliness becomes beautiful.

Unfortunately chest shape is genetic, and I wouldn't say his clavicle head is as well developed as the rest, but I like thick upper chests.
So the fact it's so wide is genetic, and there's only 2 heads on the pectoralis major, you don't need to hit it from 'lots of angles' flat and incline is enough to get both heads working their ****.
tl;dr
The width and shape is genetic, rest is hard work, no such thing as needing lots of angles to build a good looking chest.

Guys got a ripped body, like others have said; great training, diet and genetics. Not to mention the pose he's in helps his chest look nice and wide.
good photography... yes
good lighting... yes
photoshopped... maybe some slight airbrushing to get rid of imperfections but no, his body is not photoshopped. Why do his abs shine? Obviously oiled up or sprayed to give a sweaty look during the shoot. Look at his right oblique, you can see drops of whats made to look like sweat.No citizen has a right to be an amateur in the matter of physical training...what a disgrace it is for a man to grow old without ever seeing the beauty and strength of which his body is capable.

I am speaking from personal experience.
I have always, always used a wide grip with my bench-press. I have a pretty wide chest but it flares out compared to my inner-chest almost looking concave.
In the last year, I have brought my grip in on all chest movements and have focused a lot on extra close grip pressing movements. I have noticed an increase in the inner-chest.
Now, this may be accredited to my chest being activated entirely and growing entirely, giving the appearance of a larger inner-chest, but a year ago, my chest was noticeably concave and dipped inward from outward.
It is hard to do studies on things such as this as muscle development takes years upon years and is not easily observable and there are too many variables, but from my own experience, I can say widen that grip, and let those flyes reallllly stretch out your pecs.Don't piss off a MISC mod.
