A small part of his pecs showed.
You can say “he showed his pecs” but it doesn’t sound natural.
Bare means to uncover or reveal so you could say “he bared his pecs” but this word is not that commonly used

@newenglandgenie Do you think “exposed” sounds a little formal? If so, what alternatives would you use?

Exposed is good. It’s not that formal.

@newenglandgenie OK. What about “showed” or “bared”? Would these two work in my sentence?

@newenglandgenie So in the sentence “He ____ his pecs”, “exposed” is the most natural word to fill in the blank, right?
