Depends on how deep the gap is
If it's a mild gap, it does not change anything about your lifts

Nice traps

If it's that bad, get the surgery. It's better for heart health and lung capacity.
Matthew Baker
Lol it's like his pecs are approaching a vertical asymptote
Luis Walker
How is it that multiple people a day come to Jow Forums asking for advice about their incredibly rare health condition?
Angel Turner
I had a huge gap but now I fixed it. Yeah I did. Just wondering if my muscles in my chest will work like normal or if I'm doomed
Nicholas Reed
Because 4chinners are simultaneously master race yet also genetic garbage.

that's 1 in 150 births, just not as extreme as this picture
Ayden Davis
Is it dangerous to bench heavy weight with a huge fucking cavity?

>incredibly rare
Lmfao its one of the most common deformities in the world
>Pectus excavatum occurs in an estimated 1 in 150 to 1 in 1000 births, with male predominance (male-to-female ratio of 3:1).

Pretty much me before. Pic relared
Camden Davis
I've got it too.
It's rare but there are varying levels of it. So some people might have it but not even realize it since it's mild
Luke Nguyen
That actually looks sick af, wonder how it would look if he were huge
Jaxon Sanders
If I had this I would get a black hole/vortex tattoo around it
Ryder Baker
I have it, and have it pretty bad. It gives me horrific levels of body dysmorphia. That's kinda tempting.

I use mine as a cupholder. Holds a mug or a class pretty well while I'm reclining.

Honestly OP I'm not positive. I had the nuss procedure around 16 (21 now) so I may be in a minority. But I feel as though the malformation of the chest probably has just enough effect on the efficiency of chest muscles. I for one have to train chest very hard in comparison to my other big 4. Although this could be related to issues such as permanent muscle damage due to the nuss procedure but that's merely speculation on my part.
Or maybe I'm just a chestlet
Carter Sanders
man that sucks cant you get an implant
Jason Harris
Can you directly grab and squeeze your heart when you reach in there?
Matthew Kelly

Jack Williams
Could you show how your chest looks now if you have been training. I have also done Nuss operation.

Hard to find people getting fit after nuss

It actually hurts to eat and get winded from stuff like running. But now I feel normal

I have PE, did not get the surgery. It was bad enough that I had to get a waiver for it to join the military. I'm still early on my weightlifting journey, so I'm not sure that there won't be negative affects when I get over 1pl8 bench, but it has had zero negative effects on me so far.
For reference, it's too knuckles deep with my nipple as a reference. I forget what the official measurement was, maybe 3.6? I don't know.
It seems to run in families. At least one of my sisters has it and she says she likes it since it makes her cleavage look bigger. Can confirm. But she's married now anyway, and not a lifter, so sorry that it doesn't help you out OP. Anyway I don't think it matters unless the surgery you did fucked with your muscles. If it did, I'd just take it easy on chest and really pay attention to how your ligaments feel while you're lifting.

I'm working on mine right now. It's about as bad as his was. Pectus bros will make it if they put in the effort.
Christopher Carter
Anyone else have it but just minor? I have like an inch or 2 but its hardly noticeable just looks like my pecs are bigger than dyel
Evan Wilson
tfw i have asymmetrical pectus carinatum and will never be aesthetic

You and I are literally the same person. And it is hereditary, almost all of my brothers have it.
Jordan Williams
Mine is pretty small, but enough to make me self-conscious and for my stomach to stick out further than my chest unless I really get big and do a lot of inner chest stuff.
My chest was my number one motivation for starting lifting. I finally said enough was enough and started lifting to fill it in

What branch brother? It was Navy for me and I had absolutely no stress over Officer Candidate School after going through the struggle to get a waiver. It was like, none of this BS actually matters, I'm already in the Navy, do your worst, Gunny.
I only wish I'd started getting Jow Forums earlier, it would have made the early days easier and given me more confidence for my first tour. As it is I saw an Emi guide to running here that managed to get me through all the running in OCS, so at least that helped a lot.
