Hey guys,

I have a 1/2 case of Pectus Carinatum which is only visible on my left side. My right side chest is entirely flat and normal but my left protrudes. It is something that I have always been insecure about and I want to start working out to reduce how obvious it is.

I have always been naturally tall and skinny and I really struggle to put on weight. I can basically eat what I want and my body barely changes, and whatever weight I do put on almost exclusively goes to my stomach and “muffin top” area, never to my legs or arms. But weight gain is almost never significant for me.

I want to bulk up a bit and put on some muscle mass that will build my chest and arm muscles, but most importantly obscure the Pectus Carinatum.

Can anyone give me some advice on what I need to do to start out. I have never seriously used gyms and a lot of the time. There is so much information out there but it's so confusing for someone who is just starting out, especially when trying to target this specific issue of Pectus.

Any advice for someone who is just starting out would be really appreciated.

Guys, I’m curious about something. I’ve been here for six weeks now and every time I walk past Nguyen Van Thoai junction by the beach, it’s swarming with Asian tourists taking photos. I don’t understand why. It’s just a specific part of the road with a not-so-pretty backdrop. It’s a stinky, multi-lane noisy road full of cars bikes traffic lights and a zebra crossing. On the other side is the beach and there aren’t crowds of people taking photos in the same way. I’m dying to know why this bit of road is so special. I’d get it if they were on the other side with the lovely beach backdrop but here they are all just posing in front of the road. Is there some kind of cultural significance I’m missing? It seems like the weirdest place to stop for a photoshoot when the beach is just ten metres away.

I’ve added a pic of the road for context. There’s no real view of the beach. I can’t understand why they would want a a picture here instead of a nice picture with a beach backdrop which they could get if they just crossed over. Every time I pass, it’s swarming.
