Ribcage expansion occurs with certain exercises; it pushes out your abdominal wall. Unfortunately the greatest area of expansion is in the flexible lower ribcage.

well at 6'3 he would do that. But he doesnt have one body part bigger than bob or mustafa there except for his waist

Just to stir it up a bit...

The first time I met Greg was back in 99 at a competition inWindsor Canada, and indeed he was the single largest most imposing figure of a man I had ever seen.  He was offseason (of course!) and claimed to weigh about 412lbs.  I'm about the same height and at the time about 270lbs but I felt like an absolute child standing next to this behemoth. His arms were still at their astoundingly largest size at this point (yet to succumb to the atrophy and other ravages of so called - "palumboism") and the sheer width and breadth of the mans torso was mind boggling.  I beleive Ernie Taylor was guest posing that day and he greeted Greg, again only to be dwarfed by him.  Just to be clear, I'm not making any statements as to how he looked under his "busting at the seams" golf shirt, just that he was undeniably imposing.

The only other man I've met whom shared a similarly imposing physique is the late Trevor Smith.  Similar reaction to him but truly a gently giant.

I hope for gregs sake he can add back that mass and not worry about competing, but just do the strong man stuff. He would surely make more money than he does now

   I had to bump this thread--DefCon's post is one of the most horrifyingly funny things I've ever read on these boards.

Where the fuck is DEFCON anyway?

I thought he was also MassWithClass, the mayhemer that died at 37 of organ failure, rip.

That wasn't him? Somebody told me that... I hope not.  That story is fucking scary.

These pictures make me want to take massive amounts of drugs and throw my gains in the gutter.  Nothing worse than a roid defect.

Croatcher........I've been trying to convince you to turn to the "DarkSide" for awhile now.

There's nothing more for you in this world.......it's time to turn a new leaf and reach new plateaus.

Grab your nuts and take the plunge.

No regrets......

all good theroies on Pulomboism.Another thing it resembles is somthing called cushing syndrom.A condition of high cortisol thats symptoms include skinny limbs,and a big belly and trunk.When your on high doses of abs for an extended amount of time your imune system gets verylow and your body starts to release a lot of cortisol. The reson some proes dont get it could be they go off for a while.Like Ronnie he goes off for quite a few mos after the olympia.Just a theorie
