Eat a lot of carbs

Let’s start with the food. Most muscle building diets focus on increasing the amount of protein in your diet; however, that means that you will most likely be reducing the number of carbs to compensate for this increase. Carbs are an energy source and you are going to need all the energy to kill it at the gym. Also, carbs tend to absorb a lot of water, that is why low carb diets are very effective in the beginning. By eating more carbs, this will help making your muscles look bigger than they usually are.

Exercises that work your deltoids and trapezius muscles will help make your torso area look wider and rounder.

Besides, you need to give your chest some rest, so what best than to work on these other areas of your body meanwhile.

Dress appropriately

A big mistake is to think that bigger clothes will make you look bigger. In reality, it will make you look smaller while at the same time having to carry on excessive fabric over your body. When you are wearing larger clothes, it makes your body frame appear smaller than it is. If any, wear tight clothes or even clothes that fit you a little small. As soon as you start building muscles, you will start to fill in your shirts and the fact that your muscles are bulging out of your shirt will absolutely have people thinking that your chest area is looking bigger.
