Question on Chest

[tgw85]

I've seen some pics of Arnold when he was really young (age:20), and in some of the pics/vids of him (age 20) the very bottom of his chest looks slightly thicker then compared to some pics/vids of him in his prime (age:27/28). Almost as if while his whole chest was growing, the very bottom grew as well but got thinner?

My question is, AS YOUR VERY LOWER CHEST GROWS would it EVER start to physically get thinner? I don't mean atrophy, and I know the fibers don't "grow thinner". Once the muscle grows so big it starts to succumb to gravity, although slightly (like Branch Warren, Ronnie, or Arnold's chest). Well as it grows, it droops down more although slightly, again b/c gravity, and basically it looks like the chest gets longer as overall it gets bigger. As it starts to droop more, would it do it in such a way that the bottom becomes thinner and then keep getting thinner as it's growing and as this process continues?...Even though the fibers are still technically growing bigger?

For example, Ronnie Coleman (back in his prime)... if his chest were to keep growing... as it drooped down more, grant it slightly b/c of gravity, would it do it in such a way that the bottom gets thinner? OR would the bottom continue to get thicker and LOOK like it gets thicker?
Here's a pic I made to help illustrate:

strange question but i would say NO. most likely arnold simply had a more puffy chest before meany water weight and as he progressed it became more solid and muscular.

Do you mean, you think in the younger pics he was just holding more water? Can that and or body fat make that much of difference in how thick things appear?

Im just trying to figure out if my chest ever got big enough where it hangs slightly (just b/c of gravity) for example Ronnie Coleman, or any current bodybuilder, then as the bottom grows it won't droop down more making the bottom get thinner will it? Shouldn't it continue to get thicker?

Doubt it. You'll have to fill in your upper pecs to balance out the lower.

B/c I asked 2 questions I don't know what you doubt.... what do you doubt exactly?

I figured out an easy way to pose my question!

In the Ronnie pic, if his very lower chest (nipple line-down) grew bigger...... would it get thicker? And him being in the exact same position and same angle he is now, if the very bottom grew would it get thicker and look thicker than it is now?

Or another way: When Arnold was his biggest and when his chest was overall his biggest (age 27/28) was the very bottom of his chest (nipple line-down) the most thick it has ever been?

I don't understand the question still.

Are you asking if the lower portion of the chest grew thicker, would the whole chest grow thicker overall? I'd say no if this is what you mean. Most people have underdeveloped upper chests because they spend a lot of time on flat bench. I believe it's the other way around, if your upper chest grows thicker, then your chest would be thicker all around.

No dude, I mean if the lower portion grew, would the lower portion get thicker? Or as the very bottom grew would gravity pull on it in such a way that would make it get thinner?
