I'm trying to figure out how to make my chest bigger in the middle where the 2 pectoral muscles separate forming the middle line. My chest is biggest on the sides near my shoulders, but I can't ever seem to gain more in the middle. I do all my chest exercises with correct form. Also, what part of the bench press works that part? Is it when the bar is closer to your chest moving up?

lol hes saying he wants to build his inner pecs. you have rounded pecs and not flat. just keep gaining and lower your body fat and the outter pecs will flatten out and match the middle. i dont think there is really an excercise to target the inner pecs. people say moving your grip more inwards (tricep bench) does it but i dont know about that. flys will certainly give you wider pecs.

Viking22, I guess it does sort of form an upside down triangle. As far as my %BF goes, I got it measured at my gym and it was 6%. I've got good sized pecs, but they're not flat across. It's more like they slightly angle in from the shoulders to the middle. I hate that.
I think part of the problem is that my shoulders are so big. Probably my shoulders help out too much when I'm working chest.08/11/05

Good picture of the "chest triangle" bout midway down. Some good advice in there
I too am a tri/delt pusher so I took any benching with a bar right out. Substituted with dumbells and have been improving slowly.

I know it is hard to impossible to single out one specific area of the chest. I was just mainly wondering if at certain point of the motion of, let's say flat bench, worked the mid chest more. I figured with a closer grip, not as close as CG bench, from the chest a quarter of the way up would target that area more. Is this wrong?

losing fat does flatten the chest for sure thats your best bet i had a dipped in chest too i started doing close grip military presses and its helped alot with my traps as well and i recently started to do a 4/4 cadence on my flies i always powered through them before and held them in a wierd position so i was working my lower pecs and destroying my shoulders haha i had the v going too and i realized i never got the stretch going its all about improving form and control and keeping the load consistent and always watching yourself looking for flaws because we all have them when it comes to lifting its just about finding them
