A member asked:
Is it normal to have your back muscles to be bigger than you chest muscles?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Body types: All bodies are different. If you have larger back muscles, some people come by that naturally and others participate in work or activities that emphasize these muscles. Rowing for exercise emphasizes back muscles and back body development over chest and front body development.
