This problem has been on my mind for a while now, although it might not have been on my mind when I first started out, now that I'm beginning to learn more about human anatomy and different work-outs I finally realized that I need an answer to my problem. It started out a while back when I had no muscle at all, and weighed around 110lb. For the most part, all I really did was focus on my chest by doing different kinds of pushups whenever I would work out at a make-shift gym that's situated at my house but what I really overdid was just the regular basic pushup. This went on for 2-3months where I would do around 25reps of 10 sets for pushups a day and do a minimum workout for every other muscle group. After a while my body was finally showing muscle and my chest looked completely different but that was all there was to it, it was just increased mass, no cliche square pecs that you see on personal trainers and on T.V. And to top it all off I completely neglected my back muscles and because I overworked my pectoral muscles, my shoulder blades began to stick out more, so I stopped doing pushups completely since last year and focused on trying to make the rest of my body catch up to look proportioned to my chest.

Presently, my chest muscles have not changed AT ALL since last year and have retained the mass that I had at the time that I stopped, while the rest of my body looks decent enough to not make me look like an unproportioned idiot. But it's not enough, I want to be able to fix my pecs by reducing their size but at the same time being able to transform them into the exact same personal trainer pecs I mentioned before. Easier said than done since I don't have any workout equipment except for custom interchangable dumbbells, a pullup bar with extra attachments, and platforms to be able to do decline and incline pushups(for upper and lower pecs). If it helps a bit I'm now at 125lb. Now this is where I draw the line and I come looking for assistance, work-out beasts of OT, I'm pretty sure you've heard a similar story like mine at least once sometime in the past or know of a way to remedy this situation, if so, what do I do? :(

Adding "'s" to the word "guru" makes it possessive, not plural. You're welcome for the assistance.

Yeah, I was struggling with that one. Although I wasn't really asking if I was using the correct form of guru in that sentence, but hey, you're one step closer to actually being useful :)
