Post pics of /fit/ barrel chest people. I want to know what's the best someone with a barrel chest can look.
>>40546058
thats a big rib cage
>>40546058
arms? something seems off here
>>40546154
for you
>chest looks huge
>back gets extra gains from bone mass
>accentuates abs/removes pot belly
literally barrel chest is the most aesthetic thing you can ask for as a male. Arnold had barrel chest.
>>40546058
The one and only, the monster.
>>40546586
Who is this alpha male? He has an intimidating aura about him. Probably gives his female girlfriend dick twice per day.
>>40546586
I feel dominated
>>40546586
Beta face w alpha body
This /ourguy/
>>40546577
Yes but only if you are very lean. When bf% is just slightly high barrel chest makes you look like shit
>t. barrel chested anon
>>40546577
this
>>40546586
>A sense of danger overwhelms you
>>40546586
We are not worthy
>>40546058
that dude needs 8 hour arms asap
Don't know how Joe Rogan hasn't been posted
My transformation with barrel chest. Chest still looks pretty shitty but I'm only 8 months in, working day by day. (I'll take a side pic when I'm back from my workout in an hour)
>>40546058
>>40546058
barrel chested -> every day is arms day -> perfect body
Do I have a barrel chest?
>>40546058
holy shit, this is me.
the worst part is your back sticking out so that you look like a fucking ninja tourtle
>>40549105
Yeah and if you tuck your shirt in your pants you always look a little fat unless you're very /fit/
>>40549045
That's pigeon chest you autist
>>40549122
also lower part of the rib cage sticks out as far as the chest so I can suck my stomach in all I want but it still looks like shit. fuck
How should you train if you have a barrel chest? Where do you need to lay your emphasis?
>>40546058
with that type of body the only way to improve this shit is to work the fuck out of:
upper chest
neck
traps
arms
back delts to prevent those fucking shoulders from pointing forward
ITT: Everyone thinks they have a barrel chest and over estimates how "big" they think they are
>>40549158
Wouldn't consider myself barrel chested but I do have the deal with the lower ribcage being pronounced (see pic). It's especially noticeable from side angles. Regardless you can still have a good physique with this, it just comes down to broadening your shoulders and keeping the waist size small. You can also learn to pull your rib cage in when flexing/posing by actively focusing on flexing obliques, not just abs.
>>40546586
Woah this guy is huge, but I bet he looks bigger IRL
>>40549261
What are good upper chest workouts
>>40549313
any incline bench pressing, or OHP, but if your chest looks like OP's pic rel, then there is no way you can put on enough muscles to fix that fucking slope
5.8 144lbs.
>>40549351
>144lbs
don't you mean 184?
>>40549361
I am literally 144lbs. Not kidding
>>40549351
your bathroom has a urinal in it.
idk if that's pimpin or ghetto.
>>40549389
Gym bathroom brah
>>40549368
you must be extra short
>>40549400
>5'8"
I have no Issues with my height
>>40549105
Kyphosis + rolled shoulders
>>40549351
I'm same height and 180lbs and look around the same physique
>>40549442
Guess my bones are light as shit. Btw
Bench 135
Diddly 225
Squats 115 because of an injury
>>40549045
This has to be a joke
>>40549150
>>40549468
Maybe I'm wrong thought this was barrel chest?
>>40549104
No you just have a nice borderline overdeveloped back
>>40546156
>40548615
Tennis is a weird sport in that if you look at the top players they all have very different body types. Some have strong as fuck arms like Nadal, then you have skelingtons like Federer or Djokovic, there's others with belly fat etc. In most other sports the elite players look pretty much the same.
>>40549621
Look at the picture OP posted and then at yourself. No it's not.
>>40546058
Yyoooo I have this fucking problem like fuck mine are maybe a small tad tiny bit bigger. But how the fuk do I fix this do I do arms 5 times a week
What on earch is a barrel chest?
>>40546577
>>40546780
agreed with all this. If you aren't muscular you'll look like awkward dogshit, but if you lift you already have a frame ready-made to be god-tier.
>>40546058
TFW barrel cheated.
Rrrright anons?
Skinny fat doesn't help, though.
thanks fit, finally something i can feel good about, i have a 34" ribcage
Is there hope for me, brothers?
>>40550002
You people are idiots, nobody here has a barrel chest. It is a COPD symptom associated with chronic bronchitis.
>>40549045
worst chest genetics i have seen in a while. do you only do like push-ups for chest?
>>40549268
height / weight ?
>>40549773
>5 times a week
LOL that's extreme overtraining
>>40550392
5'9 160lb
>>40551053
Bro you're pretty light for the way you look. How do you do that? Also, what are your stats on the big 3?
>>40549417
Is that why you're lying about it?
Me from a year ago since that's my most recent body pic
6'2" 185 lbs
>>40551439
It's the other way around - I look this way because I am light. Current low bodyfat gives the illusion of size. Started at 125lbs 3 years ago, at times bulked as high as 175.
And I don't do the big three, routine discussed itt >>40549159
>>40551463
nigger
>>40551505
Yeah your BF is low but you still look very buff for being 72kg. Mirin' you bro
5ft 8
182
I need to cut I know
Been lifting since sept
>>40551536
that's not what your mom said when I gave her the bbc :^)
>>40549351
There is not way you're 5'8" at 144. I am 5'7", at 156 or 157, and I look leaner (though not good, don't get me wrong) than you.
>>40550014
Lose weight and you will look ok
>>40549454
Is this a joke
I weight (obviously less than you, your physique is shit) and bench 165 for reps, I stopped doing diddlies a few weeks ago but I am pretty sure I could still pull 245 for reps. I'll give you a pass on the squats if you legitimately have an injury.
>>40552108
I'm 5 10 189 lbs atm, how much do you reckon would I need to cut? My lifts are going up atm on this bulk, I thought about going on a cut earlier but I'd feel bad doing it with lifts improving, do you think cutting like 15lbs would be that big of a difference? Have been lifting for less than a year.
>>40549454
>my bones are light as shit
>when you know jack shit about height/weight estimates and try to e-stat.
>>40549268
This body is my endgame with bigger arms and more defined core. Fuckin mirin anon
I'm barrel chested, born with slight lordosis, and have wide hips.
Adding mass is a nightmare but hopefully it'll look good on my later on
I've never heard this term before.. do I have it?
>>40553306
No, your proportions look great tbqh. Mind posting a front pic? no homo
>>40551463
What do you do for shoulders? No homo but you're proper fit mate.
>>40553204
also gyno nips.
>>40553314
Thanks, it's a good angle and lighting. Been working hard to build size on my chest, which is probably my least-developed body part (despite working it hard the last 3 years). This is the most recent pic I have.. ignore the caption, lol
>>40546058
Is that Lucas pouille?
>>40553204
They are like scoobys nipples. You are the next messiah.
>>40553372
Fuck your chest and shoulders look great. You do any sports?
>>40553412
Naw, I used to wrestle and play baseball, but those days are well behind me. I'm 26 (almost 27), so I just lift weights and hit the row machine these days.
Thanks for the compliment
>>40553356
>>40553402
They're puffy as fuck lads. H-help, what do I do?
>>40550021
>dumb med student detected
Old pic. Glad there's a thread for guys like us.
I don't lift btw just cardio and body weight
>>40549621
nice flag
>>40553642
Feel any lumps under the nipple?
how has no one posted arnie?
>>40554023
>>40549261
Man filtered water really works.
>>40549361
I believe him. You are overestimating how small 5'8" is.
>>40554078
>>40553372
this guy started juicing too soon. his traps and shoulders blew up but the rest is average
>>40553831
You look very manly. Can you fight?
>>40554078
>>40554119
yeah I'm 5'9" 150 and he's got the same look as me
No pics on hand but as a guy w/ a barrel chest i've more or less found you need that massive neck/traps/ look plus lateral and rear delts to really fill out your upper body.
Otherwise it looks weird going from skinny neck and upper chest/back to massive wide rib cage
>>40554003
Kind of. Just a fairly small lump. Probably just some fat and loose skin from when I was chubbier.
>>40554183
nah bruh, you got the gyno.
one more test try tweaking your nipple bruh
>>40554198
Oh.
Yeah.
I feel it.
Fuck.
What do I do? Get gyno surgery?
>>40554210
yeah m8
only option.
no woman wants someone with puffier nipples than her
>>40549417
Just girls then.
>>40554229
Awesome. Great.
How much does surgery usually cost? Is there also any chance of it coming back?
>>40554048
manlets BTFO
>>40554254
5 grand. Yes theres a chance. Gyno is hell
>>40552112
yeah same, i think some people on fit are just really weak or don't push themselves hard enough
>>40554655
Since I'm currently in the military, I'll see about getting it for free. Thanks bro. I hope I can get this done before beach season rolls in
>>40554771
Godspeed anon. I'm still slowly saving up for my surgery
>>40553204
this isnt gyno you fucking autists, this is just high body fat
Pic related is gyno. It literally looks like female boobs in miniature.
If you went to a doctor asking for surgery you'd get the most confused look after and be sent on your way home.
>>40546058
As long as you're not a girl, nobody besides /fit/ will ever notice that you have a barrel chest or even that your chest looks weird.
>>40554879
I feel bad for the girl on the right. Homely face and shit tier genetics for her body.
The whalephant on the left needs to lose 50 lbs before I can even tell if she could be attractive. Fat chicks basically aren't even humans to me. Unless they're older and grandma tier of course.
>>40553372
Justin?
>>40555051
Kek I agree.
I also feel this way about blacks.
I dont see them as being ugly or unattractive. I dont even put them on any kind of scale whatsoever. They just exist.
>>40555051
What a toxic comment to make about two random girls having a good time and not doing any harm to you.
You must have a very sad life.
>>40555095
everybody makes judgements about people. get used to it reddit
>>40553204
Atleast your dick makes up for it

wow thats a nice titty
>>40553204
nice semi erect dick to make it look big.
>barrel chest
>wide hips
no emoticon can express my feelings
>>40551463
nigs always have the worst belly button placement.
>>40555280
This post is interesting as FUCK...
>>40555230
try that with gyno, an asymmetrical rib cage, and have that torso be pretty short
>>40548638
>see thread
>only one post of Doug Young
>>40555358
>I will never
>ever
>EVER look like this
>EVER
>>40555368
Feels fucking bad man
>>40546058
Barrel chested can look amazing. You just need to get your arms big enough
>>40549104
damn we have very similar bodies but my forearms and chest are bigger. sup sexy
>>40546058
I have a similar body but less aesthetic.
I blame high school cross country desu
Not gonna post a pic because everytime I do people say I look like shit
>>40550021
Only partially right. Barrel chest is defined as a medical symptom of COPD and CF, but it's also a colloquial for some ribcage shapes
How do I into big enough arms to counter the chest? Still in the beginner stages of strength, so this is my routine. Should I just be patient and wait until intermediate lifts before doing endless curls?
>>40554048
I like how the mountain is just wearing jeans and cowboy boots
>>40554879
>chick on the right
>>40548638
Holy shit this guy is massive
Not sure if barrel chest or just wide ribcage
am I barreled brehs?
>>40556489
Can't tell shit because you're leaning anon.
>>40556522
could be, your nipples are pointing outward which is a clear sign of enlarged ribs.
>>40553372
where at the nipples
>>40553306
Doesn't look like it from the side,
Flared ribs/baru chestu is great for fatties, since the extra space means you won't get flapping bitch tits once you cut.
>>40556522
Fuckin aesthetic freckle formation, Bob
>>40555358
Does he just throw logs around all day?
>>40549268
hey anon nice physique, do you have a problem with gay dudes trying to get at you, or do you look normal in clothes?
>>40555358
is it weird i find this kinda sexy? no homo but still... it must make women instantwet.
>>40546577
Barrel chest makes you like like fat or like a cholo while wearing a shirt.
My thoughts on large ribs:
As a hobby student of "physical traits are personality/mental traits", a large rib cage means someone with a strong defense, a rigidity ((consistency)) in thinking and belief, and indulgent in their own mind, possibly that of others. I would correlate it to Metal in chinese 5 element theory. Likely they are very mental people, rational and strong minded, who when not in a downward spiral of depression and grief are axing the base of a tree, a singular point, a singular approach that they put their entire effort and focus into, whatever the issue is. I assume metal people enjoy focus for its own sake.
For reference, I have no metal and tons of wood and adopted the metal like batman in order to grow and prosper. That makes me liver and gallbladder, you guys lungs and colon/large intestines. I was best in math, physics and other subjects regardless in high school, due to its great benefits to my mind. I was very emotional when young, and intellectual approaches really helped. I find myself breathing in and in and in and in without breathing out when trying to get something off my mind when talking to someone.
Yes the 5 element theory is somewhat legit, not legit like the most rigorous of scientific methodologies but it's legit enough if you don't call it science.
>>40556829
>>40553204
I got the puff too man.
Btw you didn't blur out all of your cock I checked n-no homo
My ribs are pretty pronounced.. especially from the side view... not sure if am in the barrel chest category though.
>>40553204
Adding mass fucking sucks for me too. I have to bulk and cut every couple of months to put on muscle mass.
>>40551463
6'2 here as well, 195
>>40549878
Looks like you are sucking in
I'm pretty sure I have this
back in hs people use to call me bull because of my large torso
my shoulder blades also protude like crazy. how do I fix this?:
>>40553372
hnnnng
>>40553306
Jacksonville?
>>40546586
When did NL get yoked?
>>40553306
Why do you look like a slightly older version of me? Same arms and back, even the same haircut.
>>40546154
and not a single barrel chest was seen that day.
>>40555641
Nah, you can do as many curls as you want without disrupting the routine so might as well
>>40546058
Dude Arnold had a barrel chest, and even tried to make it bigger with meme exercises. Barrel chest makes you look bigger, and, if you don't have beta hips, helps to give you the V. It's not a bad thing at all. Pectus excavatum, gyno, loose skin, wide hips, jawlet and being under 6 is far far worse.
But, if you're dyel, you'll look like grandpa, and if you've got high bf, you'll look awkardly obese in a t-shirt. Also work your arms harder than everyone else should, cause they'll look small from the side in contrast
>>40548638
Is that pavaroti?
>>40546058
>the pigeon chested
Just kill me now, God.
>>40549045
that's not a barrel chest you fucking retard dyel, that's called suicide tier chest insertions. You can really only notice barrel chest from the side, scumfuck
>>40549240
arms
>>40556829
what the fuck man
>>40546577
The lengths insecure people go to to want to feel normal/superior.
It's a deformity and that's all it is.
>>40556697
Not really, but honestly I don't go out bar hopping and shit like that, so i'm not really in environments where that may happen.
