Can I exercise with pectus excavatum?

Asked by stevenk1 about 1 year ago, 2 answers.

I have it, its not extreme, if you don't know what it is feel free to look it up.
my chest is fuller on the left side (because of the placement of my organs, I guess?) and I have a hard time bench pressing evenly.

Is it safe to continue?

Hi,

Pullovers have actually been used to treat pectus excavatum.

'Pullovers can be performed with bar or dumbbell. While some bodybuilders like to perform pullovers with back training, I do pullovers immediately following my chest training. I use a slow, deliberate style, stretching at the bottom of the exercise. To perform dumbbell pullovers, lie with your upper back and shoulders resting on a bench, turned sideways. This places your butt lower for stability. Start by holding a dumbbell between your hands with your arms extended and the dumbbell over your chest. Slowly lower the weight in an arc back over your head.'
