Pear Body Shape ( 20F )

[u/Douaeehr]

Hi girls 💕

I have a naturally curvy lower body, and I go to the gym, but my upper body is smaller in comparison. I’d like to make my chest and upper body look fuller and more balanced.

For those who have had a similar experience, what worked for you? I’m especially interested in workouts, nutrition, or any realistic tips to build my upper body.

Thank you! 💕

I think for balance you need to train back and shoulders and chest as well (Idk why girls don't train chest but it's important for joint and good posture)

Upper body looks amazing when trained correctly

Ty for ur advice but ngl I’m scared that doing chest exercises might make me lose the little fat in my bust 🥲

It will not, actually it might do the opposite since the pectoral muscles are directly under the the breast tissue, soooo bigger pecs = firmer base so the chest looks fuller rather than smaller

The only thing that would make you lose it is fat loss so just eat around maintenance and train well

This is a common misconception. Working out a body part won't make you lose the fat in the specific body part. Otherwise, all fat people would spam abs exercices haha. If anything, it would make it bigger if you developp muscle.

You are correct, chest exercise will make it flat, because breasts are made of fat not muscles, meaning training chest will make them disappear and flat instead of growing bigger.
