Mirin the effort, keep working out.

But don't expect too much. Let me tell you why.
Yes you're right, though it's more appropriate to say that small chest genes mean less nipple distance. The main thing that looks 'off' about your physique are your chest insertions, they're inserted (they stop at) quite far in to your abdomen, i.e after your lower outer corners of your chest you still have a lot of torso visible, of course you cant change that because genetics but just letting you know.

I know its not fair to compare to these roided bodybuilders but some examples of good chest insertions concerning the outer parts are:

Notice how their chest is a lot wider and ends a lot further out. Of course your pecs might look weird rn because of angle and all but just a heads up that it might just be down to insertions, don't let that stop you from making them bigger though, it'll only look better.

yeah they look kinda funny but it rly doesn't matter when it comes to attractiveness. Women select for testosteronic features, not for nipple distance
Wide chest/shoulders is a dimorphic feature

thanks!! yeah better to be hit with the truth now than after 2 years of hard working and be disappointed with the results , i am doing right now flat dumbell press and replaced the incline press with decline and doing dips is that a good choice in your opinion?

nipple distance most probably is related to clavicle length and ribcage size aka shoulder width

Dips are good but don't get fooled into thinking they're a chest exercise, that's a meme.
Purely for chest gains yeah flat dumbbell press is good, though I think that a normal bench press with a barbell and weights is a lot better.

I'm not sure why you swapped incline dumbbell press with decline, decline hits the lower portion of pecs whereas incline hits the upper portion. When you're building chest it's easy to get growth in the lower chest area, but where most people lag is that upper chest for that nice square, full pectoral. Now if you take away the upper pec exercise and put in a lower one, you risk having a lot bigger lower chest, which creates the man boobs appearance.

Finally push is good, maybe some abduction wouldn't hurt to be in there. So I would recommend, if you just had three to do:
- Barbell Bench Press
- Incline Dumbbell
- Any fly (Cable fly, dumbbell fly, etc)

Once some muscle is added to the sides of the chest it won't stick out as much.

Yeah bro, looks like a killer shoulder and chest workout, stay safe with the OHP with bb and lateral raises bro, don't go too heavy and make sure your shoulders are warmed up beforehand otherwise you risk messing them up for life.

Np, feel free to tag me in the future, I'll try help where I can.

As for triceps, the OHP, dips and bench presses should be more than enough. Good luck.

yeah doing today
my nipple distance is 17-18cm too and I'm struggling with chest training, pressing/pushing movements generally feel like utter shit to me and don't seem to activate chest. makes me wanna go er.

Finish chest before going onto shoulders to maximise chest growth since you're chestcel tbh.

why seated?

Standing engages a lot of core and gives you less pressing power. TBH all the bodybuilders I've seen with the best shoulders always do seated military press (front, behind, DB, machine) never standing. IDK why standing has become so hyped recently, its inferior. I'd always look towards 90s and 2000 era bodybuilding for training advice, never post 2010 where the FAD's became relevant

I have low-inserted nips so they appear to be narrow-distanced, but my chest are wide so it's not linked i guess

It's just muscle insertions in this case

Aaah okay so adding abs every other day to cover core

How big is your waist? Tbh you should do enough core from training heavy regardless. Abs is all about leaness, I would avoid a blocky mid section if I was you. Defo do not do weighted abs
