Outer Chest Exercises?
I've been working out for a few months now. My chest has been starting to shape up except for the bottom outer part. Are there any good exercises to help me target this area?

Could be a bodyfat issue.
If getting leaner doesn't solve it, you could try incorporating a decline pressing or decline fly move.

Decline presses or flyes hit the lower chest while inclines hit the upper chest. Like has been said, I find that flyes hit the outer chest good. My chest routine is: flatbench barbell presses, incline dumbell presses and flatbench flyes. It's good to hit the chest from different angles. But I don't do much decline movements.

X2 - I actually lost that part of my chest when I got more cut, found out it was fat. Most guys dont want to admit that, kinda shocked me as well...

I didn't know flies targetted outer chest. Does stressing the pecs when lengthened hit outer and stressing them when shortened hit inner? Very confusing.
