    Lower Pecs?

    I keep getting really annoyed lately because I can't seem to get the lower part of my pecs to form any kind of shape. At the moment, from side view, and above, my pecs stick out about an inch or so from my abs, however at the bottom of my pecs they slope down and join my abs rather than looking seperate..

    Not sure if it's made it clear or not, basically what i'm trying to ask is - will my lower pecs come out more if I work on them seperately or should I keep doing what i'm doing and they'll gradually come out? Because at the moment from front view they dont stand out because of the lower part of them..

    If I am to work them seperately, how can I go about doing this? I've tried decline and it only ever makes me feel as if i'm working my shoulders..


    Thanks in advance.

    Unfortunately my area doesn't have any dip bars but I have done a bit of decline benching and decline dumbell presses, but I can only usually do it when I have a bud with me otherwise I can't get into the right position and raise the weights..

    Have you found anything to help it at all? It's really annoying.

    tbh, when im doing decline db press or bb i really don't feel it working my chest properly, dips are probably the best exercise you can do, but try sticking to declines, and ask someone to help you raise the weights or whatever. thats probably your only option. or find a way to make something similar to dip bars, what gym are you at?

    I'm at a local recreation centre gym, it has some high tech equipment, but it only focuses on main muscles and alot of things I have to improvise with dumbells because of it. I'll take a look and see if their is anything I can do dips on - Repped.

    the shape of your pecs is determined by your genetics.. the most you can do is keep working hard, and add overall mass to your chest and cut to sub 10% bf
