Are you saying the movement pushes your chest outward or the result of doing the exercise will give you the puffed out chest look?Quote:

It's difficult without seeing you but, as Kel says, improved posture. Make it a habit in you everyday life to retract your shoulder blades and keep your shoulders back. Most of it is habit but specifically training your rhomboids and middle traps will help.
Make sure you stretch your chest after training too to try and loosen it up. If its tight look into PNF stretching.
will do.... good info....lol and all this time I've been trying to work my chest hoping the mass underneath would push my shoulder....thanks all Twitz Kel SteMQuote:

I'm suspecting he has an element of kyphosis like most gym goers focusing more in chest than back. Go on Marcus, show him what his back should look like:)Quote:

I do these for the rear delt-trap-upper back area and also to stabilize the shoulder for bench pressing. This guy has a whole series of shoulder exercises that may be helpful for some.

Its just a matter of posture and bench with shoulder blades retracted helps with that
And also flyes,, either flat or incline with shoulder blades retracted.
My recommendation would be to do heavy bench with shoulder blades retracted and also incline flyes with shoulder blades retracted. That way with flyes you'll get the stretch at the bottom and ur chest wont get tighter and it will give u the look and feeling ur looking for immediately.
U can add in those 2 into your chest routine that you do now
will do....I think my problem is never retracting my muscles....gonna give it a whirlQuote:
