    It depends. Is your chest fat or is it solid? If you have chest fat , then that can be fixed. Talk to a doctor if so. Some letro can clear that up. Many teens get gyno because their hormone levels are through the roof and aromatase happens even in teens.


    If it's muscle , then there is no problem. God gave you genetics to have a big chest. I'm 5'9 250 and even at my size , people stare at my arms. My last measurement was 19.5 cold, but they are probably more like 20.5 cold now.

    I wouldn't slack off of that just because genetics has your chest out of proportion. Keep working hard and keep trying to put your best foot forward.

    if it's muscle it's not a problem , infact it's a good thing

    MAN i wish i had your problem lol .To me, it looks like regular fat and what i would do if was you i would slow down on regular bench press and do some inclines . Do a lot of push-ups as well to scrape some of that fat off. I mean im not sure but its what i would do.
    There is no glory in practice, but without practice there is no glory

    Get yourself some lifting straps and go HEAVY for shrugs, spend most of your time doing incline for bench and siddddeee delts. Coming along well yah its a little big for everything else but if anything is going to compliment that chest its what I listed above. What are your lifting stats and measurements btw

    After looking at the pics , you have no gyno and your chest isn't out of proportion with the rest of your torso. Infact it appears your stomach is larger then your chest.
    Keep working on your chest and try to drop bodyfat

    You shouldn't be worrying about symmetry or balance yet, just worry about putting on as much muscle as you possibly can.

    I was the same way. Don't worry once your arms and shoulders fill out you will look more proportional. Don't be upset about easily growing your chest. There are some people who can't build there chest no matter what they do
