Hi,
i've been working on strengthening my pecs however, they're growing and getting stronger, but the problem is, they're spaced differently, is there anything i can do the correctly shape these?

I've drawn a picture with paint for you to see and better help me:

You can't change the insertion point of a muscle
But don't worry this is actually pretty normal

Dumbbell chest exercises are great for evening up the pecs. Flys, press and incline press are the main ones.

i have a similar problem :/ lol it's actually nothing to worry about, once you start packing on more muscle it should even out a bit.

yea flys are good.i couldnt see pic but if u have alot of space in the middle of the pecs.then the pec deck is good for inner chest.but bench press great all around for chest.u mit want to go threw a power stage to pack on the muscle.low reps heavy weight 6to 8 reps for couple sets then drop to 2or 3 reps for a couple sets then go for almost a max for 1 rep and u can do force reps with a partner.that should pack on the muscle and strenght. got me to benching 320 at 185 pounds.

There is no such thing as concentrating on the "inner chest". That is a very annoying perpetuating myth that I hear time and time again. Think of a muscle as a rubber band. When you use it, It retracts and shortens the muscle. In no angle can you concentrate on a certain point of the muscle.

I heard the myth so much that I even experimented and did only bench presses with my left pec and inner pec presses with my right, and like I thought they had identical distribution of muscle on the inner and outer parts. The amount of "inner chest" you have is based on genetics.

Besides, the thing you're talking about in the OP is the insertion point of the muscle, which is attached to bone with the use of tendons. You cannot change this without surgery.

yea thats just natural asymmetry. not too much you can do about it, do a few extra reps on a cable machine that lets you work only that side, you might be able to even it up a bit.

Dips are great for chest too, if you do them correctly.
