Why does the top of rib cage stick out further then chest?

[Anonymous]

Hey guys i'm not fat in the slightest but the top part of my rib cage/bit under chest sticks out futher then my chest whilst the rest of my stomach stays flat. Any ideas for this? Also my back curves in slightly if that helps

Whenever I am way too Thin here, dear, my Bone will protrude like this.
Try putting on a bit of meat to Meet this Bone and fill it in a Bit with more to Bite.
Good luck. xx

Your description doesn't make sense. The top part of your rib cage being... your collar bone? Your sternum?

The bit under your chest being... the 9th and 10th ribs?

Sorry mate meant my sternum directly under my chest area sticks out further. My back arches in a bit would that have anything to do with it?

That's not uncommon at all. Look at this guy:

They'd both say the same thing. The lower part of your back (the lumbar curve) contributes somewhat but you might also have rounded shoulders which contributes to it looking like this. I have lordosis and my shoulders are a bit rounded too so now I know what you mean - I have it myself. You can't change the shape of your spine so if you want your chest to stick out more, you need to build up your chest muscles.

exactly the thing I am talking about. Is there anything I can really do about it or is it mainly fact of it is what it is?

[meatballs21]

Nope. Like I said. Your back is the shape it's going to be. Keeping good posture will help, but if you want a bigger chest, you have to hit the weights and build it yourself.

Thanks for advice mate. I don't have the biggest chest ever but It's not to bad yet just appears sunken slightly
