Exercises to do to widen shoulders are wide lateral raises and wide push ups.

A nice set of strong oblique muscles will greatly compensate for your flared rib cage.

Spider-Man pushups or weighted oblique crunches

Last but not least, the Golden Era Vacuum pose. Overtime, your flared ribs will compress, and this pose will give you good posture over time.

Great for relieving stomach bloat, stomach gas and you will look more photogenic in pictures!
