Small Frame, Large Breasts... Need More Muscle for Support

[Chicory]

First, this isn't a thread to brag and I'm not looking to start some silly conversation about breast size. This is a serious problem for me.

I'm a 30FF cup. (Cup sizes go up when band size goes down, it's not really as big as it sounds) breasts cause me pain, back spasms, and have straightened the curve out of neck. I'd like to know if it's possible to increase rib circumference working out, and what kind of exercises I can do to strengthen lower back, shoulders, and neck.

Also... I'm a sufferer of Generalized Anxiety Disorder. I breathe shallowly all the time. Are there any tricks to deep breathing?

Thanks!

Hi there, how are you .

There's plenty of exercises for the upper back and Shoulders.

Dumbell Shrugs.

Reverse Barbell Shrugs.

Side Raises

Front Raises

Shoulder Press

Power Cleans

Bent over Barbell Rows

Cable Rows

Arnold Presses

Bent over Cable Rows

Reverse Pec Deck

Front Barbell Shrugs

Reverse or Front Shrugs on a smith Machine

Miltary Presses.

Pull-ups in front of the face.

Cable pulls

It is however important to train all areas like the Legs Arms and lower back too.

If you're having issues with erratic breathing, or short shallow breaths, try to use a nose inhale and mouth exhale way of breathing, when you're a bit stressed or panicky and try to regulate the breathing, so you have the same amount of inhale and exhale time, so a breath in is as long as a breath out, to try to focus on a regulated breathing cadence.

Perhaps that would help with your breathing issues .

2 more exercises to add to your list are pullovers and incline dumbbell presses...two of the best exercises to help with chest support. I would also add more core work such as planks, side planks, Russian twists, and basic crunches.

Best,
