do certain exercises make the chest look more square. i switched my training up a year ago to incorporate more dumbell presses, my chest has grown alot but i want it more square if you understand. i was thinking wide grip bench to get the outside more?

While you can concentrate on certain areas of the chest by doing incline/flat/declines etc...you can't change the shape of a muscle, only make it bigger. It's simply down to genetics.

Wide grip bench will more than likely just end up hitting your anterior delts IMO.

We've been here before. The shape of your pecs is the shape it is & you can't change it. It will grow thicker which will alter it's appearance, but the basic shape of the muscle will always be the same due to the insertion & attachment points. For example, I have a fairly thick chest, but would like it to be deeper i.e. look like it extends a little further down my sternum than it does but in 15 years it's just gotten thicker, never deeper.

Certain exercises may place the emphasis on the lower/outer portion of the pec (this is debatable) but it will not make it lay down muscle fibres in an area of your chest that your pecs simply don't 'go'. Just make the best of what you have & keep improving.
