i’m 14 and i’ve noticed i have this gap between my pecs. like my chest doesn’t connect in the middle, there’s this space that makes it look empty or like something’s missing. it’s not a dent or cave-in like pectus excavatum, it’s just a straight-up chest gap between both sides.
idk if that’s just how it’s supposed to be at my age or if my chest isn’t developing right. i don’t lift or anything serious yet but even other guys my age don’t seem to have this much of a gap.
can i fix this? like are there exercises that actually target that area? or is it just something you’re born with and have to deal with forever?

it’s been making me self-conscious. i wanna start improving now if i can instead of waiting till it gets worse. anyone else had this and fixed it?

I have seen some guys having it like this nga. But he has it way worse then me

Unfortunately no, muscle insertions are fully genetic. Your best bet would be to get jacked as all living fuck and stay around 12-15% so your face still looks lean but you have some fat mass on your chest (as getting shredded will just accentuate the gap further)

Wouldn't recommend as the first thing anyone sees is your face, not your physique
