I just wanted to ask you if you've heard that boobs often are constructed in the same way as the pecs, (Pectoralis major), the muscles under the boobs.
XLhourglass informed me of this after my last bra adventure post. I hadn't never heard about it.
So I've done some research about pecs in general. Sadly enough it's all about males and their pecs. But still I found out that some pecs are wider and more shallow and some pecs have more projection. Also some have a bigger pectoralis major ("side muscle") and some have a more defined pectoralis minor (upper boob muscle). And that it's all about genetics.
I have huge pecs. Both major and minor. When I flex I see the crease of both of them. The major ends just behind my arms where I want my wires. The upper one sits just where my boobs ends in a bra with tightened straps.
I asked another girl to point out where her pecs ended and she would point on that typical point just slightly under her arm where most girl seems to want there wires.
I just wanted to hear if anyone of you've heard about this as right now I have not been able to find the information.
Because for me this would explain why I can totally scope my so called "back fat" on top of my boobs but why I'm totally incapable of scoping the lower tissue under my arms even a centimeter and why I hate wires that doesn't end behind my arms. Not only do the smaller sizes rest on boob tissue, they end on very sensitive and protruding muscles as well. (FMS makes it hurts like mad)

Interesting, I didn't know they could actually be different like that, I thought it was a matter of how you worked them out. When I compared them to boobs, I just meant that some people use the line of the pecs, to determine where their boob starts under their arms
I've kind of known bodies are shaped differently and I have some understanding on how different bodies get different figures due to skeleton and fat distribution, but I never really stopped to consider the rules muscle plays in it, or the fact that pecs in particular was what gave the boob it's shape.
So what you said about that was an eye opener for me :)
