I'm a pretty tall guy as far as bodybuilding goes. (I'm 6'3'') My last contest I was the leanest I have ever been and I didn't notice what I am noticing now.
What I am noticing is that I can see what appears to be my ribcage, yes ribcage not serratus or anything else, even though I am at my heaviest weight ever sitting right around 235lbs. It's very awkward looking. I look thick everywhere except for there. For some reference, here is a picture I randomly found of someone who has this same kinda thing going on...he's not lean really by any means, yet you can see his ribs it appears. The attached photo is really the only thing I can compare it too.
I also tend to hold my fat in the hip/lower belly region but not really anywhere else, just incase this may help determining my problem.
If I crunch down on my obliques/serratus I can clearly see contraction of muscle over my ribcage, but none the less I am still seeing ribs.
This just doesn't seem right for someone of my size and development. Am I just tall and awkwardly built, or am I freaking out over nothing?
I talked to a physiologist and he said I need to maybe build up my tranverse abs/girlde area.
For reference, I do heavy squats, deadlifts, overhead presses along with ab work, so I don't know what is going on.
Any one have any insight?
