Can big well balanced arms compensate for a weaker chest?

[The Dude]

My chest is coming along, but I don't see it ever getting to where it's NOT going to be a weak part. Would using SEO to bring my arms up from the inside like a front double bi help? When I raise my arms up is when my upper body looks really weak.
What do you guys think?

It may help, but I think it'll just take more away from your chest

you got pics so I can see what I mean...

Nothing compensates for a weak part. The weakness always stands out like a pimple at the end of someones nose. If some has huge arms but a big gut people always say , yea hes got big arms but look at his gut,

Dude, your chest is not weak,.. I think you mean it looks smaller in comparison. Plenty of BB's (Aaron Madron) who had a small chest in comparison still brought a damn nice package. Also your biceps have a decent peak bro. You are SUPER critical of yourself which is ok, ..we all are!!! I want to do SEO also on my biceps. My chest is very wide but my shoulders over-power everything. I know exactly how you feel. Ive seen a lot of pics of you and I think you should widen your shoulders,.. Cap those side delts and I think it would help off-set your chest. Your guns are already 21" which on your frame is fucking huge. More detail may help, ie: conditioning but I dont think making those Pythons bigger would help. I would bring up your side delts. My 2 cents bro

Thanks bro, I do my best, but I agree. I was just hoping to hide it a little. The shape of my chest is poor (relatively speaking) and doesn't fill out. Unlike arms, I don't see much out there to bring it up. I'm really trying to get the caps up and there coming along. I'll probably do some Synthol to shape the arms and a little more caps to the delts. All in all I've just got to work with what I've got.

I dont think anyting can compensate for another body part unless the muscles are much closer to one another and you can kind of hide it while going through mandatorys, but i would have to say no

You guys are right. I was thinking that if my biceps were that much bigger it could hide some of the side chest pose... one of my worst, but then I wonder if taking my arms to that size would be more detrimental than beneficial. I'm somewhat balanced now with a weak chest, but then I could have a weak chest and arms that are out of proportion. Well I've still got the rest of the year to bring my chest up as much as possible.

Agree with Presser Dude, you cannot hide it however you have a year and also you have many other impressive parts so don't panic! Just keep hitting it in as many different ways and from as many different angles as possible. I have had my share of weaknesses as well that have come up it just took some time.

Dude dont worry keep working your chest and it will come. Also I have never seen someone win or loose a show based on there chest it is back, legs, shoulders a small waist and conditioning that wins shows. Arms are not even that important beleive it or not. Your back, legs and shoulders are great. With Helen bringing you in you will win regardless of your chest. Dont worry just continue to work hard and stay injury free.
