A lot of chest work (flyes, incline/flat/decline bench, etc.) should do the trick. -------------- **_Robert_** Pain is temporary; glory is forever!

Try google searching for gynecomastia and read up on it. I am not saying that you have it, but you may want to check it out. If you want to fill out your chest, bench press is the best way to do it. I found dumbell presses worked great for filling out my chest, but to each their own. -------------- - Its never about how much you can lift, or how many reps you do.

When you do pushups, make sure your hands are farther apart so you can put more emphasis on working your chest. Of course, your best bet is to buy some weights and a bench. Good luck and hope it's not gynecomastia as Borpillicus may have hinted... -------------- **_Robert_** Pain is temporary; glory is forever!

You should be able to find some information on line about it. -------------- Nathan Gower "Do not let what you cannot do interfere with what you can do." - John Wooden

Fear is the mind-killer. Fear is the little death that brings total obliteration. I will face my fear. I will permit it to pass over me and through me. And when it is gone past me I will turn to see fear\'s path. Where the fear has gone there will be nothing. Only I will remain
