    Building A Chest

    I worded the title as I did for a reason. What I don't mean is "Building A Big Chest" I just want A chest, period. My arms are pretty damn good for almost no exercise outside of work and I look good from the front but when I turn to the side I have nothing except arms. I want to know how to build a chest that is proportionate to the rest of me instead of flat pecs and a gut. My goal is not to look super cut or trim, I just want something there! I started doing pushups because I don't really have any weight equipment aside from 15 and 20lb dumbells, am I on the right track? If you have a routine that works I'd appreciate if you could share some info for me, thanks!

    Thanks, also, could you recommend a good-tasting whey protein by chance?

    exercise, join a gym.

    if you don't have money for membership then pushups will do. do flat/incline/decline pushups and vary your hand positions.
    Train beyond the pain...and death is your only release
