I was walking on a sidewalk not too far from a road with my shirt off, because today was actually hot. so I wanted to get a nice base tan for summer here in Florida.
And of all things I expect, this was not one of them, some rednecks drove by and yelled out to me to puy my shirt back on because no one wants to see my birdchest...
Now its confusing to me what a bird chest actually is, since a previous roomie said he had a bird chest. and he looked cut to me. When I think of a birdchest I think of a protruding sternum with no pecs or anything, skinny as a skelleton. (because Ive had birds as pets) Im a big guy at 6'4" and 185lbs. And I dont think I have a birdchest with a 42 inch measurement.

6'4"185, you sound pretty stick figure to me. My first guess is that you never had someone ask if you bodybuild. How old? As you age, fat will most likely fill in the blanks.

Ah hahahahaa! I love Florida! Some of you will see me at Daytona if I can finish my car and break it in... 6'4" 185lbs. Age 21. And fit. I'm big but I just dont look "cut"
Ive always remembered girls in high school complimenting my "masculine" chest. I always thought I had one... Recently people I know have been asking me if I work out or not, I started lifting back in november. and they have noticed a change.
My old roomie was 6ft and 165. he looked skinny as a stick but he looked cut. because he had no fat.

I think I might have what I consider a barrel chest, because i played tuba for 7 or 8 years so my digaphram is large And when I flex it, It looks like a single large muscle forming a belt across the bottom of my ribs
I could have been breathing when they were looking and I suppose my digaphram was flexed out
I further go on to say that my chest looks barrel like because I have bars for arms (biceps/triceps matching the size of the deltoids, and forearms matching the size of the bicepts/triceps) lifting has helped balance me out asthetically.

Hmmm... Do you have any brightly colored plumage on your chest? Or any feathers at all on there? Because I could see where that my evoke a "Bird chest" insult.
Seriously, though... They are rednecks. Don't think too much into it.

You know, you guys from down south really need to stop rubbing it in this time of year.
...ah, at least I am getting some satisfaction - have a fellow up here in Edmonton this week/and next (-28°C with a -41°C wind chill today) from the Orlando area doing some equipment upgrades (he must have lost a bet or something).

Don't go there... someones always gotta toss in the race card! My son is half Chinese, I was trying to dilute some of my worse tenancies and instead seemed to have the worse of me. He is chubby, I keep telling him exercise with me and get big instead of fat but, he does not care. Enh.

Bird chested, hehe. I haven't heard that one for some time. Usually, it means you need to work out and if you are caught around in public in a tight muscle shirt somebody just might shout those words. On the other hand, walking around without a shirt is worst (unless you're at the beach), but if you find a group of women laughing that's worst of the worst. PX90 should resolve the dreaded "bird's chest."
Another annoying comment is the "Fat Willie" comments or commonly known as a "fat joke." It's usually uttered by somebody in a car passing. What you need to know is: Never respond to the question asked. It goes like this: Do you know Willie?
