im 24 yrs old. 6ft ' 170 lbs. n i absolutely hate the way my ribcage is so narrow... i dont know how i can make it look better... i think my torso is genetically extra long and it makes it really hard for me to fix it. i dont know what to do... is there anything i can do to build muscle around my torso to make it look any better.. or am i just screwed?

Welcome.
what exactly does your current diet and training look like?

[Bigzrs01]

If you add some serious chest mass and some lats, it would make you look better and take the focus away from your problem. of course do some ab work too

[skinnydude1414]

i lift mon weds, fri.

mon- chest tris (sometimes chest shoulders)
weds- back bis
Fri- Shoulders legs or bis tris and legs if i do shoulders with chest

my diet

i dont really have a planned diet but i try to eat every 2-3 hours im awake.. ill usually have 5-6 meals.

meal 1- 8 eggwhites with a scoop of elite 12 hr protein mixed with oatmeal
meal2- cottage cheese with table spoon of fish oil
meal3- chicken breast with pasta
meal4- protein shake with oatmeal (post workout shake)
meal5- chicken breast with a good carb source
meal6- 12 hour elite protein mixed with 2 table spoons of natty peanut butter and a table spoon of fish oil

and i aim for 40-50 g of protein each meal

At 6' and only 170, you could use another 40lbs naturally through diet and working out and you will notice a great difference I believe!

Your diet is definetly not one for bulking up, you would need MORE solid foods

meal 1- 8 eggwhites with a scoop of elite 12 hr protein mixed with oatmeal I would add 4 more egg whites and a whole egg here
meal2- cottage cheese with table spoon of fish oil I would skip the cottage cheese and eat something solid like steak or chicken or fish
meal3- chicken breast with pasta
meal4- protein shake with oatmeal (post workout shake)
meal5- chicken breast with a good carb source
meal6- 12 hour elite protein mixed with 2 table spoons of natty peanut butter and a table spoon of fish oil


Its not bad, but if you want to grow you will need to eat MORE

Eat tons of food, and start powerlifting.

thanks for your input guys... i know i have to up my diet... but what are some workout techniques to improve the way my body looks... i do heavy tbar, bent over rows, pull ups, for back... and for chest i do incline dumbells, incline bench, flat bench, and flys. what about side bends? maybe that can build my obliques?

Do you squat or deadlift? Those two alone will add mass and thickness if you go hard and heavy!!

i did both... it increased my overall weight but didnt do much for my core to get thicker... i used to be 135 when i graduated highschool ... i still squat but i dont deadlift anymore.. i might try incorporating it back into my workout.

It takes time, years even, just keep it up and keep it heavy!! Change the diet, and you will start to see results
