I have just recently noticed this that my rib cage is flared out and it sticks out of the side of my waist if you are looking at my body straight on. my lats come down in a V then my rib cage sticks out it sticks out its more on the left side of my waist the right side dosent even relly stick out at all. anyone know what my problem is and what i can do to fix my flared out left ribs. im a competitive bodybuilder and this problem may not seem majour but it relly anoys me. anyone know the reason for this and what i can to to fix it i have even throught about using a funnel corset.

Sounds like you were born with that slight imperfection. Short of surgery to break your ribs and realign everything, not much you could do about it. JMO...

I have a huge ribcage myself. I cant keep my arms down at my sides and it looks like I have ILS. Learn to live with your body, you can't change bone structure.

Agreed! Add mass to your lats, width at the top, length, and depth (mass). Everyone has weaknesses. With more mass, you can choose the majority of your poses to camoflage this weakness.
Offset with other strengths, for instance:
Have the best forearms in your weight class and in the show.
Have the best calfs and in your weight class and in the show.
Have the best quads and in your weight class and in the show.
Consistantly compete as the most shredded, defined and dense looking and in your weight class and in the show (be the guy the compititon worries about).
A camoflaging pose that could hide weaknesses and highlight certain strengths:

I have the same problem but I've actually had it looked into. First off, nobody is completely symmetrical, everyone to some degree has this problem. Second off, you may want to get an examination for scoliosis. I never had it until my freshman year in high school, dislocated two ribs, went to the hospital and some RN in training tried to fix it, well the dumb **** wedged muscle tissue between my vertebrate and ribs, thus causing my spine to curve in an attempt to try to fix the problem. Generally there is nothing that can be done about either. Doctors will only operate on scoliosis patients with severe curvatures (which trust me you don't want rods in your back anyways). Just have to learn to live with your imperfections, compensate with wider lats like most people here have already said, it will largely help to diminish the noticability of your ribs.

man people worry about some stupid s**t.
look on the bright side, your lung capacity is probably pretty good.
use all the extra oxygen you can take in to help build a bigger chest.

Your build is very similiar to mine. But I don't take the rib displacement to be a bad thing..
It is almost as if my two upper abs are very large.. I almost always have an 8pack unless I am bulking to the extreme.. even when by body fat is up though I still maintain a 6pack.
I also notice that when lifting my arms above my head I have a small muscle that runs right on the underside of my pec almost by the nipple. But this isn't seen when my arms are down, and I kind of contribute it to my rib cage. Not sure if others have this similiar muscle, just have never seen it in body diagrams.
Anyways.. It really isn't a noticable problem unless pointed out. It is almost as if our ribs have a slight flare at the bottom. IMO I feel I have developed a very symmetrical body even with what your claiming is a 'flaw'
-Nice stomach vacuum aswell, very tight.

I have the exact same rib thing goin as Vise but mine is worse than his with my ribs sticking out. Its something that kind of runs in my family for the most part. I've always had a huge rib cage but never bother me any. I can't lay on the ground with much comfort on my stomach though, I need a pillow or something soft to lay on because of my ribs.
