Chest help, have pic

[atrain08]

Hey guys, I'm wanting to fill the gap the runs vertical between my pecs. Is that possible or is this gap just the way my muscle is structured? I see pics of guys that have that solid chest that meets in the center and i don't have that. Reason for asking is I don't want to be wishing for something that I cannot get. Thanks

its genetic and will always be like that. just keep building and the space will look smaller.

I'm thinking something that works the inner part of the chest in that area might help me a little, maybe fly's? I have been doing a decent amount of fly's hoping it will help and so far nothing but I have noticed a little more size.

the more muscle the more itll push together. Unfortunately it is genetic and probably will never fully fill but focus on some more flys work and close grip bench and it will be less noticeable. Doesnt look bad at all though nicely built chest(no homo).

Hmmm... since your picture is at an angle, it's difficult to see how close together your pecs attach on your sternum. From that angle though, your chest looks good. You can even see the beginnings of striations forming near the sternal attachment of your right pectoral.

The lower pectorals usually have a small gap between them, and depending on how your muscles attach genetically, the amount of space between your pectorals will vary.

You can increase the thickness of your inner pectorals (closest to the attachments) by doing cable crossover, pec deck and to a degree dumbbell fly movements (although dumbbell flyes are best for thickening the pec/deltoid attachment).

Here's a link to some information on the sternal head of the pec major:

Hey thanks Skip. I will get a front-on picture today and we can go from there. The gap is about two fingers wide though.
