What Causes Less Muscle Mass In Chest Area?
Question: Take a look at the picture, as you may see I have a V shaped chest. It looks like there's missing a lot of body on each side.. what's is this called and is there anyway to fix it?
Brief Answer:
Normal variation.
Detailed Answer:
Hello,
Thanks for posting your query.
I have seen the image attached. The bony cage appears to be normal. It is the muscle mass that is less which can be built up with the help of proper work outs. This is just a normal physiological variation and is not suggestive of a pathology.
To confirm this you can get an X-ray chest done which will detect any possible bony deformity.
I hope this answers your query.
In case you have additional questions or doubts, you can forward them to me, and I shall be glad to help you out.
Wishing you good health.
Regards.
