Default Chest Definition

I don't have a weight set where I am staying currently, and I have been doing pushups to build my chest.

My lower chest kind of slopes into my stomach rather than having a defined edge. Does anyone know of any variations of a pushup or other exercise good for defining the lower chest without a bench?

Thanks.

Dips target the lower chest.

You have two parallel bars and you do basicaly vertical pushups. That's about as good as I can describe it.

You can not target any area of your chest.....look up the pectoralis majors origin and insertion points.

you simply have body fat that is too high or your chest is not big enough. It comes with size.

A small chest wont give you that hang over chest. Further match that with a body fat of around 17% and you wont see it.
