Does it look as round as your butt with the white thong?

Lower and outer...Look at how your pectoral muscle is shaped, it has origins on the sternum and insertions on the upper arm, it doesn't really have a lower, outer area...Your lats make the area under/behind your armpit look wider, your serratus muscle below your pectorals could be brought up a little.

If you just mean that you need a little lift, do some extra decline work on your chest. That might help.
But you could just genetically have a different shape to your pecs...

You are 17, right? You may just need some muscle maturity, your chest will thicken as you grow.

Serratus anterior is the muscle under your lats and pecs on the side of your body that sort of looks like fingers or ribs. I think pullovers and side bends, some ab work hits it. I will look it up if you want more specific info.

soon to be 18 i started working out at 16, anyway i think ill put Heavy dips lean forward and pullovers in front of my chest workout and give it a go for a short while thanks a heap assimmer

Hows this sound...

Dip Bodyweight (warmup) 10reps Slow
Heavy weighted dips - 3 Sets of 6 Rep's
Slight Inclined DB's - 3*6-8
1DB 2 arm hold Pullovers over bench (im assuming thats the standard pullover?) - 3*8-10
Strict incline fly superset with exhausted bodyweight dips -2 sets (flys 10-12 reps and dips = as many as can with bodyweight)
then finish off with 200 Pushups..

hows that sound for chest if its once a week?

(On this same day id prob add biceps and forarms prob have 3 sets of barb curl, 3 sets of db hammer and 2 sets of wrist ext superset with wrist flex

Sounds like you can do too many push-ups after your workout...don't neglect the compound moves like benching.

I would split the biceps and forearms to a seperate day... up to you, though, you are young have have much energy, grasshopper.
