Why did God punish me to have this? No matter what I do, I always look fat due to protruding ribs

>>76474374 (OP)
I have the exact same condition and I look fine. Stop whining and keep lifting you faggot.

>>76474374 (OP)
>lose visceral fat
>train pecs
That's how I fixed it, now no one notices as long as I'm wearing a shirt.
>but what if you take out your shirt
If you're somewhat charismatic and have a six pack, women will find you cool and interesting for being different

>>76474374 (OP)
Will still look better fit. Work on posture too and look up Riley Byrne on YouTube

Drink a lot of milk and pull It out with a plunger.

How severe were you guys and what exercises helped the most? I have a pretty deep asymmetric case, have been lifting for a few months. Have started focusing on upper chest (incline bench, pull overs and decline push ups) based on online advice.

>>76474374 (OP)
I have this and after life full of shit and depression I have decided to go for a surgery at 29.
I literally don't care if it kills me. It's either they fix it or I'm jumping in front of a train.

>>76474581
mine is not that severe but used to look far worse due to shitty posture and being a dyel.
pull overs and incline chest are great and will definitely help hide it. in general getting a stronger back and having better posture helps alot. Farmers carries with completely upright torso no hunching over, y raises and lu raises for mid traps, plenty of rows for rear delts/upper back, pulldowns/pullups for lats, etc
Again good posture is really key, holding your shoulders down and back and head up straight as often as possible

>>76474374 (OP)
had a friend like this. tall, blonde, blue eyed, played rugby, medical doctor.
seems like god gave this to him to nerf him.
but he just got surgery for it and now he's normal.

>seems like god gave this to him to nerf him
kek, this is my opinion on it. I basically started lifting cause of this shit and in a way I'm thankful for it

>>76475707
does lifting fix it?

>>76474374 (OP)
It's a developmental disorder caused by malnutrition.

>>76474374 (OP)
I have it aswell, but how does it cause you to look fat? Take a picture.

>>76475856
no its not, it just an overgrowth of the ribs in sternum area which pushes it inwards

>>76475934
and what causes that?

>>76476009
its genetic

>>76476014
what causes the genetic defect?

>>76476040
a faulty gene

>>76476046
Caused by what? Which gene specifically? I'm sure malnutrition influences gene expression.

>>76474452
training pecs isn't going to get rid of ribs my guy, he needs to train lats

>>76474374 (OP)
The problem for me is that it always looks like I have bad posture because of it. I have to be super straight and aware if I'm going to look remotely normal.
>>76475802
No, but your beautiful body will overshadow your deformity.
>>76476046
>>76476088
I have this and I'm very convinced it was due to malnutrition during childhood. There's really no other way, I went outside and did sports (until age 10), but I had a very limited diet, shitty parenting does fuck up the kids.

>>76476088
nigga, i come from a wealthy background ive always had plenty of food available, but i still have this condition

>>76476211
people across all income levels are malnourished

>>76474374 (OP)

You have a built-in snack bowl, why you cryin

>>76476088

It's caused overexposure to food dyes and synthetic caffeine

>>76476476
im NOT malnourished bitch ass nigger
im fucking 6"5 wtf are you on about

>>76476156
I have a moderately sunken chest but my twin brother doesn't have it at all

Best thing you can do anon is eat and do chest exercises. Incline, flies , dips and dumbbell chest press. Your ribs will still look weird , but , it will make it look less weird. I was 90 pounds in that photo at 18 pretty sure. I still don’t like my body but I don’t think anyone that works out does. Good luck anon

>>76476211
Seconding that you're a retardo.
Also >>76476502 bröther I'm 6'7" I think this shit might have something to do with rapid growth and some parts not fusing in time relative to others

>>76476601
yes thats what i was saying ty

>>76476593
post tits

>>76474577
I always look for the plunger comment in these threads lol

>>76476768
Vacuum bell is an actual therapy for mild cases

>>76476758
I barely have any as is lmao

I want to punch you in the heart

>Why did God punish me
You were punished with your faggot mentality.
I also have pectum excavatum and I laugh at it.
I'm thinking on gettin a tatto like pic related

>>76474374 (OP)
>Why did God punish me to have this?
Maybe you deserve it.

>>76478140
based me too, it's what it is, the rib flaring sucks but such is life, the only thing I ever had surgically fixed was my fucked up bite, also considering getting a poorly painted on tunnel tattoo on my chest for shits and giggles

ive been doing stretched to help rib flare, but the only thing that seems to help the chest gap (appearance only) is a wall stretch

i take half a step back from the wall, and then interlace my hands behind my head. i put my elbows into the wall, and then lean into the wall.

deeper stretch the higher you plant your elbows / further back you stand. legit feels like my chest is being pried open.

>>76478499
won't this cause lumbar problems though? how do you lean in?

>>76474374 (OP)
I have mild pectus. I had to wear a brace for two years of high school. But it's basically unnoticeable now.

>>76478536
focus the lean only on the upper back area/shoulders.
this stretch is really just opening the shoulders and relieving the poor posture that pectus causes.
dont lean super hard because it wont “fix” the pectus, since only surgery can do that

>>76474374 (OP)
Mine was pretty much same as the picture, honestly if I remembered someone taking a picture when I had it, I would say thats me in the OP. But I had the surgery, mainly because all the females relatives were completely gobsmacked when I took my shirt of one summer to go swim, the commets that I look like a fucking mutant and freak poured in, ended up having the surgery with professional from Germany in about a year. My theory why the rib cartilage develops much faster than sternum is due to malnutrition, growing up i had the most insane headaches and would aspirins daily. My dad chalked it up too "I had really bad headaches during puberty aswel lol" forget the fact hat I would eat like one sandwich entire day. The result, the most excruciating pain for two months I can describe, and I have really high pain tolerance, bed ridden for a month, can barely breath, laugh, talk etc. results --not as bad as before, but ribs are still un even and flared, heart and lungs still have twice as many blood vessels as normal from all those years of pressure put on them, also spine is kinda uneven. Funnily enough best friend had carinatum instead, got it fixed within same year, if you are <20 get the brace, if above, consider doing something that allows you to never take off your shirt.

>>76476593
Damn that's a great improvement, GJ anon

>>76478597
>consider doing something that allows you to never take off your shirt.
Such as?
Of course, I got never go swimming again.

>>76478657
>got
*could

>>76476792
we'll be the judge of that

>>76478657
I don't know mate, rock climbing, light athletics, some cold weather sports, competitive sports where you can keep your dignity in tact etc

One additional problem with this condition is that shirts tend to look shit on you. Always hanging from the chest, even if you aren't a fatty.

Core memory: high-school pe locker rooms. Im an absolute pale little shrimp boy, huge chest dent. Super tan 6ft tall jacked german exchange student named Lars started staring at me. Poked me really hard in my chest hole and said WHY IS YOUR CHEST DENT?

>>76479136
Did you guys fugg?

>>76479159
No, but it was a crushing moment of reality and ego death. Geneticsmogged for the first time
