Can you shape pecs ?
I"m trying to shape my pecs, I want them to be square. Is it all down to genetics or can they be shaped with weighted dips or flys ? Has anyone any tips ?

with heavy dips i have found that the muscle becomes more square and hard in my experiences

Thanks dalcowbag. Is that with elbows in/out and do you lean fwd. and put your feet in front or behind ? Technique makes all the difference.

your pecs will be shaped over time with the building of muscle. Just stick to your routine and over time they will take shape. Also i have found that cable exercises and flys will help to gain definition.

As far as dips go...I find the more that I lean forward with legs back in comparison to torso... the more pec that is involved...the more vertical I am while I go up and down the more it is soley tri's (btw when you go perfect vertical up and down on tri's it stretches the hell out of the head...but feels hella good/sore!)
I always thought it wasn't really possible to "shape" the pec and that it was more genetics...You can however increase / decrease size from what I've been shown
Good luck bro.

Depends on how picky you are about the shape. Genetics will limit the shape to some extent.

Anyway, try dips at the end of your workout and superset them with pec-deck. It's helped to shape mine pretty well. Get a lot of reps out of each, 12-15, if not more.

Its down to the exercises you do and what part of the muscle you attack. If you lack at the bottom do dips and decline, if you lack up top do incline and so forth.
