**Boxerjl** · 07-19-2005 07:22 AM

i just turned 16 and i only weigh 130 pounds and im 5' 11'' i have a six pack but my lower ribs show and ive tried a bunch of differant ab exercises but they still show is there anything i can do about this.

And because of this i fear taking off my shirt because they stick out and when i do take off my shirt people stair at me and all my friends call me rice because they say im actreamly skinney but as ive heard on hear before you dont need muscle mass to be strong.

Ya I had the same problem. What you can do is eat like a horse right. Then you do alot of sit up twists Cruches and twisting. And other workouts for abs. Then after some time your ribs will be going away. Give it a shot.

When I was sick for a long time and lost a lot of weight my ribs were very easy to see, right up to my neck.... You really need to put on some weight, and forget the ab exercises for it. Doing chest will do more to cover up your ribs. Try some heavy bench presses twice a week & get enough protein & your ribs will soon dissapear under a layer of muscle.
