Wide Chested
"Wide Chested" is one of those terms that is as straightforward as it sounds: it refers to the breadth of an animal's chest when viewed from the front.
Think about it like building a house. If you start with a wider foundation, you can construct a larger, more spacious home. Similarly, an animal that is 'wide chested', or has a broad skeletal width in their chest, has the potential to develop more rib shape and muscle.
This is significant because just as you can't build a mansion on a tiny foundation, an animal with a narrower chest may struggle to support a well-muscled, robust physique. So, when we say an animal is 'wide chested', we're talking about animals with a broader chest structure that provides the 'foundation' for potential rib shape and muscle development.
