Question:

Build up chest muscles?

I've been an athlete all my life, competing at a high level in cycling. I'm very fit, but have a weird question. I'm a tall guy, and assume it is because of how I grew. Typically, between the pectoral muscles (I believe across the sternum, or maybe it is the sternum), there is a bone that is usually prominent. That area grew inward slightly in my chest. I do know of a close friend of mine who had a severe case of it and had to get surgery. Mine is very mild, yet you still see it as a "dent" if you will.

Does anyone have any exercises or ideas to build muscle in that area, almost to hide the depression? Having been a cyclist, I did very little upper body lifting, and believe it is as pronounced as it is because I really don't have pec muscles. (we keep our upper body toned, not built).

When you build up your pec muscles, can it push that muscle toward the middle of the chest? Any advice helps. Again, it isn't a health matter. It's purely aesthetic.

  1. um, im not sure about the chest


  2. Certainly chest development exercises will help improve this problem.  I have the same problem and it was more obvious when i was a teen.  As i have matured it is not near as much a problem, but chest development will help.  If in doubt ask a local physical trainer at the gym.
