So droopy or straight pecs. What is the deciding factor? Training style or genetics?
Whats an example of a droopy chest? if you have it then cut and dont work lower is what id try.
>>37683114
A little of both.
Pectoral origins play a big part in chest shape. Insertions not so much..
An underdeveloped clavicular pec can have a rounder softer look, whereas a properly developed one gives a nice angular, cut look to the chest.
Overdeveloped sternal heads can result in droopy man chest (see: scooby)
>>37683158
Something like this.
I don't have droopy pecs, but my pecs aren't very large. I'm lean year round, so there isn't much to cut.
>>37683234
Underdeveloped clavicular head
>>37683233
So under developed clavicular and over developed sternal? Which movements hit each part? My only chest work is flat dumbell press, incline dumbell press and dips.
>>37683252
Incline is clavicular
Flat is both
Decline and dips is sternal
>>37683312
Awesome. Thanks for the help.
>>37683234
the guys fat and barely has any muscle, so naturally he has fatman tits.
just look at the mirror in the back.
his lovehandles are wider than his back.
AND THOSE LEGS
>>37683234
Is that Maxx Chewning? Holy shit, so much for strength routines > hypertrophy split routines. Powerlifting cucks BTFO
Flat square chests look best.

That chest is so T I G H T and S O L I D
his nipples are falling off
>>37683482
actually throwing the bar down, he comes across as an arrogant faggot
>>37683873
Those origins are... Unfortunate
This is genetic, and not from overdeveloped sternal or underdevelopedmclavicular.
This is 100% bad origins
>>37683883
It's like a small celebration for hitting a pr. Maybe one day you'll know the feel.
>>37683899
How is that bad? That's an ideal chest.
>>37683899
>origins
Wtf is this, a new meme? Are you talking about insertions ?
>>37683916
Ideal for what? That short stocky body will never be aesthetic.
Its genetics. All I do for chest is flat bench 3x week. No chest flys, no decline/incline. My chest remains full/wide/thick without any drooping.
Although I do push-press I think that might hit upper chest a little.
>>37683883
yeah even though he says it's his bar that's still fucking annoying watching someone push the bar down so hard it fucking bends the other way
>>37684049
t. jelly of his strength level
i bet if someone pulling 2 plates did that you'd not care
>>37684057
id care cause he's pretty arrogant to throw down 2 plates
also i drop the weight after the rep i just don't smash it down
Who here too scared to celebrate after hitting a PR?
I'm honestly scared I'd pull something by doing that after hitting a PR.
>>37684080
well considering my pr for dl is like 345 and my max bench is fucking 210 celebrating looks kinda silly desu
>>37683970
A muscle has an origin and an insertion. For example, the pecs' origin is on the sternum/ribs, and the insertion is in the humerus.
Hope that is clear sotty for bad englando
Also not the dude you were replying to

holy fucking shits in heavens above, this guy looks like shit. Even i look better in shit ligh with no pump. What the fuck happened?

>tfw you don't even know what your pecs are shaped like because you've got gyno and you will finally find out in few months after surgery
>>37684142
That 'origin' is also an insertion you dense shitnigger
> tfw no droopy chest for my waifu to grab while i fug her missionary style
>>37686005
Google pectoral insertion.
Google pectoral origin.
I will wait while you go find out how retarded you are.
Pecs are like the one muscle where insertion doesnt really affect shape. But the muscle origin dramatically affects it.
>>37686005
...not even close

>>37687241
Another anon here. Yes muscles have an origin and insertion, but those are arbitrarily assigned in some cases and they both refer to a muscle attachment to bone, so it's a stupid terminology IMO.
>>37687281
Doesnt make that first guy right for calling me tarded for properly using the arbitrary terminology.
>>37683471
GET YE BE GONE, CHOCOLATE GOLEM!
>>37687281
>arbitary
as a rule of thumb muscles pulls the insertion towards the origin
I prefer the boob-type chest. Looks more powerful. Fuck aesthetics. They are for faggots
>>37683981
No one has a droopy chest posing the way you are.
>>37683482
wow this guy is the biggest homo
>>37686005
Jesus christ this thread is stupid, this shit comes down to body fat level and insertions, one you can do something about the other you can't. Regardless of what dyels who read bodybuilding mags tell you, you aren't going to change how your chest looks by doing some one retarded trick.

Genetics bro. I have some weird insetions that look like Fingers where they meet.
Adds to the striation effect but I'd rather have better insertions.
Miscular Insertions are PURELY genetics. You cannot control them.
Greg happened to have 11/10 insertions and a strong jawline. RIP crazy SOB
>>37688917
Also the best way to avoid the "droopy" chest is to prioritize incline motions.
The majority of guys with "aesthetic" pecs prioritize incline work.
Majority of BBers and Physoque guys rarely Prioritize Flat Bench
>>37684057
I go to an oldschool iron gym and see people deadlifting 500+ all the time. Rarely does the bar get dropped like that. While I admire this guy's strength he comes across as an enormous faggot.

>as a rule of thumb muscles pulls the insertion towards the origin
How do you determine whether the insertion is being pulled towards the origin or the origin pulled towards the insertion? Oh, right, it's arbitrary. The muscle contracts with two (or more) anchor points. How the body moves in response to that is based on external factors which change.
For example, your quads attach across your knees. If you do a leg extension machine your lower leg moves while thigh remains stationary. Ergo insertion is moving towards a stationary origin. Now what happens if you are standing up from a squat? Your lower leg is stationary and your thigh moves. Origin is moving towards a stationary insertion. It's REVERSED. It's arbitrary.
