Myth or fact: Is it genetics or can you by doing different exercises and hitting the muscle from different angles change the shape of it? If so.....is their proof of this out there and where can I find it. I personally think you can alter the shape of your muscles but some don't think so.    | ||

Research shows that certain exercises focus on certain parts of the muscle better than others. For me, my biceps peak/shape changed dramatically when I began doing Inclines and 90 degree preachers. ------------------ | ||

My 2 cents: Genetics is gonna be the ending point...bepends on the muscle spindles, amounts of fast and slow twitch, etc. However, if you have not fully taxed these fibers, then you can through exercise change the shape of your muscle.  | ||

Look around the gym. You will find that IN GENERAL, the guys who only do flat pressing and flying motions have a flat upper chest as opposed to those who work inclines on a regular basis. | ||

Does anyone know of any studies whatsoever that will prove that you can change the shape of your muscles? I personally think you can too and from what I have seen....my upper chest has gotten bigger since I started focusing more on incline bench, flyes, cables, etc.... I would just want to rub a guys nose in it if I can find a study that backs it up. | ||
