use your pecs, not your triceps and delts when you press.
Try some flyes if you are just doing presses, see what gets you a good mind muscle connection and progessively get stronger on it.
What does your chest workouts look? exercise selection and order, reps, sets, effort level/proximity to failure, training split, frequency..
Hows your execution and form, rep cadence, range of motion?

Calling complete and utter bullshit/troll unless you mean ounces. No way that boyish physique is pushing more than 225. Post a video and I'll eat crow.

That's the first thing I thought when I did the conversion to kg

Ya, kilos would be lower. If he meant 380 kilos that would be 836 lbs. lol.
My max is 365 and I'm like twice this kids size. Fucking children.

You're on dope if you think we're going to believe your bs. This is a forum full of old men. Don't come on here with this childish nonsense. Did you think we would be impressed? Oh, 380(!) What a superstar!

Dude I just want to know how to improve my lagging chest. Because with my lifts, my chest should not look like that

Do more flys, pecdec, cables, etc. Dont stretch super far back and keep your shoulders out of it. Cross your dumbbells, hold it, and squeeze as hard as you can.

365lbs sounds about right for you.
Do you go like ... ummhhhh... all the way down when you bench those 380lbs?
I haven't really benched in maybe 7-8 years, but even at my biggest* a few years ago, I don't think that I could have benched almost 4 plates in a competition setting with 3 judges.
When you look at your physique, do you feel like the bench press is contributing to an evenly balanced development of sad physique?
Arms and shoulders look pretty decent though. What is your squat and deadlift max btw.? Do you train abs?
*which was surely nothing to write home about...

I'd be more inclined to help if the first words out of your mouth weren't a steaming pile of horse shit. But since that's what you did, you branded yourself a complete fool and now I just want to sit back and watch everyone clown on you. Life lessons, kiddo.

You just have bad luck in the chest muscle insertions genetic lottery. It will look less weird when your pecs grow a bit but you can't change where your muscles insert.
I think you have a serious problem with your self image and ego. People are not impressed by how much you say you bench for one rep. It sounds like you're super insecure and want to either be better than others, or shield yourself from the idea that people think you're weak. A 1rm doesn't make you big or your muscles grow. It's about how you approach training and nutrition that will make your physique stand out. Experience will teach you that. Now let us old socks be that teacher and wake you up from this fever dream. First step is accepting that your 1rm has nothing to do with how your chest looks, nor does using Tren.

considering his first thread was less than 2 years ago asking about just doing body weight exercises.... its doubtful

You are doing it backwards. Figure out how to train first. Then when you are soooo good at it that absoutely nothing can be improved and you still want progression, then, and only then should you consider adding anabolics . Right now you are just taking drugs to try and fill gaps in your programming.
You don't even have abs and you are taking tren? For what reason?
Get good at training first
Then add the hot sauce
You have years to go before you are ready for that.

Aside from genetics, I think the issue here is lifting technique. I find this happens a lot with guys' backs. They load up the lat pulldown and think they're a bad ass but when they turn to the side they disappear. I would suggest decreasing the loads you are using on the pressing movements by at least 30%, maybe even 50%. Aim for 10 - 12 rep range, and make sure you practice how to connect with the pecs. I know this sounds like bullshit but it isnt. It's how I grew my back (reducing the load and learning how to contract the muscle). I know a lot of really strong powerlifters who have chests that look like they don't even lift weights, or they just have no shape at all. Some of it is genetic, but looking at the rest of your torso my money is on a technique problem. The quicker you check your ego at the door the faster you will see results.
And beyond all of this is proper nutrition and recovery. You can get stronger on tren when fasting / eating nothing. It's not going to give you a big chest. Make sire you're in a surplus, resting adequately, and also throw in some intra-workout nutrition (carbs, aminos, creatine), moreso on chest day (carbs anyway). If you're as strong as you say you are (and forgive me for saying I do not believe those numbers for a moment), you can get even more mileage out of these techniques. The problem is when young kids who do NOT have a base of strength in the compound lifts try to do a bunch of machine isolation stuff. you'll get a pump but that's all. You may want to try pre-exhaustion, again using proper technique. Start with a pec deck / machine fly and pyramid up the weight until your form starts to suffer after 10 reps. Really practice the stretch and squeeze the shit out of the pecs at the top. Keep your elbows locked and don't reach forward. Stay back in the set, small arch to the back, chest up. 2 to 3 slow, heavy sets of 10 - 12 prior to pressing. Then apply the same slow, controlled approach to your presses. You will need to use less load, and it is for your benefit.

You hear the same thing with people on squats too, its usuallly a form issue or their structure and biomechanics are not well suited to emphasize the quads coupled with the wrong form for trying to load the quads, so they end up growing a big ass, adductors and erectors.
