Anyone else have pectus excavatum (sunken chest)? Any routines to help fix it, other than obvious chest exercises?
Also current body thread.
Obvious chest exercises. Like you want to fix chest, do chest. Just bench till you get to 225 for reps. You'll be good.
>>42166024
Thanks for the advice :)
>>42165995
How do I fix my chest? My bench has always sucked cock compared to my other lifts. I hit it twice a week. I'm focusing on my lower chest because I feel like that's the weakest part. What's other good chest exercises for lower chest besides decline bench?
>>42166078
OP here,That's me in the OP pic. Are you asking me that question? You look like you have more experience than i do.
I guess go with >>42166024 advice.
>>42166078
Fix your form.
Problem solved
>>42165995
Skelly here, just getting started but have been lank my whole life. Is this pectus?
>>42166024
>Just bench till you get to 225 for reps
I read some garbage like this several years ago. Finally hit 225 for reps. Still had a shitty looking chest.
>>42166375
I don't know, but your ribcage looks oddly flattened
>>42166592
225 bench for reps is fucking pathetic and you should feel bad if that took you more than one year
>>42166592
Form over function.
Shoulders pinned back, slight arch in back, hips firmly on bench, feet flat on floor, upper arms drop no lower than parallel with floor.
So many people drop the bar past parallel thinking they "have to bump their chest". It transfers all the weight to the shoulders and arms and destroys any chest development once you go past parallel.
>>42166078
try working with the cable machines.

One month gym, seeing first progress on my body, doing some beginning strength excercises to gain some mass
5'10" 172lbs
Lost over 30lbs in the last 16 months. I run a 6 day per week brosplit routine that was introduced to me by my gym buddy who first got me into lifting, adding different exercises and changing each day up as I feel like.
What are your guesses for my bf%? keep in mind this lighting is super flattering.
>>42165995
A good exercise is definitely doing dumbell pullovers with a lowered core. There's also an athlean x vid where the fucker actually gives good advice for once.

I have no solutions but just as an aside...the singer of my favorite band (the story so far) also has this.

Age: 21
Height: 5'11
Weight:207
Lowbar: 505x3
High bar: 405x12
Bench paused: 375
Deadlift: 585 @rpe 8.5, saving big PR for my meet in September.
Could I get a bf% estimate, and what my other weak parts are other than my chest. My coach wants me to us in bodybuilding for a few months after the meet, and I'll donate blast then.
Throwing this in, so people just know. I'm sure my size is attainable naturally.
Have hypogonaidisn, so I've been on prescription test c @150mg test c since I were 19. Did one cycle for ten week 400mg test c a week. Didn't do much for me cause I had no control of my sides, and I stupidly injured my back. After the meet I'll run 300mg test c and 450mg NPP.
>>42168470
tfw my bro can do that natty 6'2
>>42165995
No I have pectus excavatum and my body is fucked
>>42168606
I definitely fucked up hard on that one cycle. I used it as an excuse to not watch my diet, and only care about my lift number so I ended up getting injured as fuck.
>>42168625
Dude your body is not fucked. You have decen insertions. Your waist really isn't that eidrnat all. You're just holding into a lot of fat. Especially in your stomach. Cut down then bulk up nice and slow doing. PPL six times a week.
>>42165995
My friend had it even worse. Got a huge chest and could barely tell. Started blasting, and now his chest just looks bigger from it
>>42166078
1x a week 5x5 flat bench press and add weight each week. Other teontikes di 3 8-12 and only focus on stretch and contraction. Dips after, weighted if can. 3-5 sets if 8-20. Chest flies with butterfly machine and do 5 super hard high rep sets. It's what I did and it helped.
>>42166375
Can't tell yet
>>42166728
Keep going buddy. Eat 300-400 cLs below maintenance and lift 5-6 days a week following a program. From there you can do a real cut. Just stick with it. I looked like you when I started. It gets better.
>>42166754
12-13%ish, but not being harsh don't sorry about that until you have some more gains. I got to stuck ok that and it dampered my progress.
>>42166978
Not sure, but lt sick looking core
>>42168017
Mirin proportions. Just needs size
i swear zyzz had a sunken chest i mean this is him as a dyel he has dents all over his chest yet once he got big he had the most aesthetic chest?

Routine??
kapow¬!
>>42171153
>>42171256
cardio is done fasted every morning. it is either 40 minutes of jump rope, 2 hour walk, sprints, or 6 mile jog. weightlifting is done at night:(after cardio is done)
mon: chest+triceps+abs
tues:legs either sprints weightlifting or calisthetics
wednesday:back+bicep+abs
thursday: legs again depends on what i did tuesday
friday:chest+shoulders+abs
sat:back+biceps
sun: rest
diet is clean protein: sardines in olive oil, tuna in water/olive oil, lean ground turkey, lamb, lean ground beef, skinless chicken legs/thighs/drumsticks, protein powder(nitro tech whey gold usually)
carbs: oatmeal, sweet potatoes, any greens love pumpkin and asparagus spinach tomatos any type of fruit
fats: olive oil, avacados love those a lot, almonds,cashews, pecans, pistachios, brazil nuts, hazelnuts, peanut butter
what think
>>42172042
Your routine is much the same to mine except I'm not to the point of being able to do as much cardio. How did you build up to 40 minutes of jump rope?
>>42170570
What is running?
Lifting for 5 months after gyno surgery, should I start cutting on continue bulk?
*or continue

>>42165995
I'll post after my leg day is over, I guess.
>>42172248
Cut asap
>>42168470
Honestly the only weakness you have is your chest You have a very solid physique Once you lean out youll see more weaknesses maybe but be careful DNP
>>42172491
>>42168470
My bad I thought you said DNP What NPP are you running? That'll lean you out
>>42172169
by simply pushing myself incrementally. make sure you definitely stretch after and before to prevent injury. and if you can jump on a soft surface cause skippin rope on concrete fuckin kills your joints.
>>42165995
It makes getting an aesthetic chest very difficult
>>42172248
Cut starting yesterday

Calisthenics are god tier for quick aesthetics and face gainz. Also, how does weedlmao effect gains? Real talk, no /pol/ be pls.

Weed kind of fucks with your test, but it makes your metabolism a bit faster (if you don't eat a lot of shit when you're high)

Lifting about 4 years (first two I had no idea what I was doing)
All my progress is from a shitty bro split I put together, which usually looks something like this. I switch things around or add/take away stuff depending on what muscle groups I'm focusing on.
M: chest/tris/calves
T: cardio
W: back/bis/calves
Th: cardio
F: legs/shoulders/calves

>>42165995
I used to have one, but one time in high school, I was stretching out had both my arms stretched out and back when I suddenly got a cracking sensation and loud popping in my chest. You know when you first crack your knuckles and it kinda hurts? Yeah, this shit hurt. It felt like cracked my sternum, which I guess I did? After a bit it felt normal, and I did it again the next day without thinking of it. It happened again, but not as painful, but just as loud. I still doubled over for about 2 minutes because it still surprised me. This kept happening for about a month and I found that I couldn't crack my sternum anymore, but I didn't have a sunken chest anymore.
>>42173927
Looking good bre. Pretty much my goal mode. If i were you i would just work for strength and perfomance. Maybe even went out and did something like muay thai or some shit.

I had a similar experience in a dance class, where the instructor made us do windshield wipers across the floor. I felt like I pulled something in my upper body and was in pain for a few minutes. Ever since then I've had this weird bony bump on the end of my clavicle.

Your lower body is very unproportional to your torso, doesn't look good.
>>42174988
used to be a chubby kid so probably some leftovers
most ppl here got fit because of it i assume
>>42165995
Started a lean bulk with a surplus of 300 calories. Compared my physique to about 3 years ago and was heartbroken at how little I've changed. On the plus side it's given me a lot of motivation to improve. What areas do I need to work on guys?
>>42174927
>is this the natty limit
you're joking, right?
>>42166375
it's not, it's probably because of staying in a fetal position for long periods of time. i would recommend thoracic expansion stuff, use breathing in your exercises, try to expand your ribcage etc...
developing the flexibility of the muscles between the ribs i would recommend for everyone
i know, sounds like pseudoscience bs but doesnt hurt trying
>>42166375
What the fuck is going on with your chest, man? It looks like your entire ribcage was crushed in an accident and replaced with a single steel plate

You shouldn't really call it just "pectus", as there is a sister deformity called pectus carinatum. It's more rare, but the chest flies outward instead. I took this a few days ago, and you can see it really well in this photo.

Do full body strength for 4-6 months then switch to ppl
training full body will make your body better at using more muscles which = big gains when you do hypertrophy

Also what do you think of my gains and what should I be doing next?

>>42180097
Honestly for someone with your frame bulking and cutting is long term vs short term.
If you want to look better in the next few months then cut.
If you want to look better in the long term i would honestly do a moderate bulk ~500 cal for like a year. Should get you up to ~260/270 lbs then you can cut back from there.
>>42180097

Got up to 255 this last winter but was carrying more fat than I wanted to, so I cut all spring. Debating doing like a 300 calorie bulk for the next year to keep the fat down and still gain muscle.

Don't bulk anymore, you are dangerously high bf% and most people never recover from numbers that high.
Shred that shit and become defined, you'll notice your gains more and feel better. Trust me you are at the point of no return.
