Can I still have an ‘aesthetic’ physique with a wide rib cage?

[basedred]

My rib cage is quite wide and I’m looking to have an aesthetic physique. Is it still possible with a large rib cage. I have wide shoulders as well so maybe that helps?

If your sternum isn't as recessed from pectus excavatum and good enough posture.

A wide ribcage isn't what makes your physique unappealing it's something else

Do you have flared rib cage or just large rib cage? Flared sometimes indicates pectus excavatum

having a wide rib-cage is fine as long as you have narrow hips, but the issue is that they usually go hand in hand.

all of the largest bodybuilders have big rib-cages, it's preferable for sheer size, but it doesn't look as aesthetically appealing because it loses the athletic vibe that a narrow rib-cage has.

I do have large hips sadly but the good news is that they do match my ribcage. I sorta just look like Kelvin Gastelum.

arnold had a huge rib-cage.

the down side is that you need more mass to make it look good (because your shoulders, arms and chest will perpetually look too small for your torso), but people that have it also tend to gain mass easier so that's fine.

Yes.

Is there any hope of me having visible abs? Like the beach body physique?

Yeah of-course man, people worry too much about things like these when it doesn’t make a huge difference, aslong you treat the abs like a muscle by training them often + maintaining low bodyfat (8-12%), you’ll see good results.

The biggest ab training tip anyone can get is that the abdominals are a muscle, so you train them, retards that think just getting somali levels of malnourishment will get them abs without actually training fail miserably.
