Maybe this is just me displaying my ignorance, but it’s something I’ve been wondering for awhile. I’ve noticed that a LOT of people seem to have a pretty wide gap between their pecs. The flip side is that it seems that very few of the really big guys I’ve seen have a really big gap. Is it because people with genetically gifted insertions tend to be the same people who excel in/choose to pursue BBing or does adding more mass onto your chest tend to “fill in” the gap to an extent? Or is it a bit of both?
If it can be alleviated, what exercises have you found helpful in doing so?

I would say this one. If you’re talking about a gap between the muscle belly origins, that’s genetic and no exercise is going to fill that in. Physiologically speaking there is no ‘inner’ and ‘outer’ chest, but adding overall chest mass may create the illusion of a better inner chest, or smaller chest gap.

That’s what I was wondering. I’m assuming there’s no way to target that specifically, it’s more of an add more overall mass kind of thing.
Just build a better overall chest, you can’t change where your insertion points are you can only change size and hopefully that will help close the gap
I’m kinda confused by what you mean. Got any examples of both?
