    Question muscle areas

    i've been doing weight training pretty regular for about 3 years. i've got a good build going (both upper and lower body). i try to keep a balance by covering all muscle areas when i work out. anyways, i have a few questions with regards to general sculpting.

    it seems like the muscle area under my arms (sides of rib cage) isn't built up enough. i can see definition but compared to my upper chest and shoulder area it seems not built enough. also, my shoulder muscles and deltoids seem a little big. i have a small frame, maybe that's part of it. i'm just wondering if anyone has any pointers... maybe specific exercises to help shape my upper body better.

    ...my first post btw

    If your talking about the Pectoralis Minor, then dips and declines are two exercises you need to work on.
    If anything, large delts help so I don't think thats your problem.

    Heres a link to a site that can help you with names of muscles and what exercises help:
