Yeah I was afraid of that... It's just difficult to determine wether it is indeed genetic and I actually have no muscle in that gap or wether there "are" fibres there but for some reason are just not reacting to stimulation yet.
I remember when I first started training I could feel bone all accross my upper chest. I could feel no muscle whatsoever. Then as the months progressed and I trained and ate correctly sure enough the muscle just sort of popped out of nowhere. I can now feel a good inch of muscle where I could feel only bone before.
I wonder if this has anything to do with my guitar playing. I started to learn classical guitar at the age of seven. I would play all day every-day and achieved grade 8 (the highest you can go) by the age of about 13. When playing guitar as a right handed person you constantly have to support your raised left arm with its corrosponding pectoral muscle. Perhaps as I went through puberty this lead to more muscle fibres develpoing on that side?
I don't know just a theory. It's a shame because in all other respects I have very good genetics. I do alot of modelling (hence my eating disorded a couple of years back) and this will really hinder my work If I was decide to move into fitness modelling at some point.
