i have been weight training for aboyut a year now, i always knew there were small quirks in my body that made me look a little awkward i just wanted to see that you guys think.

so i have been trying to get a six pack for the whole year i have been weighttraing but i seem to only be able to develop a Four pack due to my rib cage being so large and completely hiding the rest of my abs. the problem with my ribcage my lie within my back, my back is arched inward perhaps pushing my ribcage out.

is there anything anyone could suggest i do to fix this, beyoned seeing a chiropractor im leaving that as al ast resort. is it just my body type ?

Stretching the ab muscles should do the job. Primarily the obliques are attached to the rib cage so maybe a little "STATIC STRETCHING" will do the trick. Look it up! Then you could work the abs better
