      I read somewhere that it is a symptom of a certain type of artificial muscle-building drug that goes overboard on the chest muscles but that was a reddit comment from a while ago so its probably bullshit.

        And there’s almost no muscle on that chest. Even if there were, there’s no muscle that can get that thick on the bottom ribs (the serratus for instance is quite flush with your rib cage)

        I think the explanation I heard through a similar source was something about asthma or something similar causing it. Could also be entirely bullshit.

          Steroidal asthma medication does cause barrel chest. Is that related to the pic? No idea.
