Article: Pullovers For V-Taper

Ehh I don't do pull over and my v taper is pretty gnarly. Just rows, dead lifts, rack pulls and WG pull ups did it for me
 
Can anyone explain what exactly is meant by "expand the rib box"? Does this refer to enlarging muscles that are on the exterior of the rib cage, or does it actually mean expanding the rib cage (i.e, bones) itself by, for example, developing muscles inside of it. If it means the latter, then I would think older guys would not be so interested, as we become barrel chested with age naturally (much like smokers do). For example, if you look at a 35 y/o pro cyclist compared to how he looked as a 25 y/o, you see that they typically have much bigger chests, and it isn't from pec development for damn sure. However, if it refers to keeping the ribcage itself the same size but increasing musculature outside of it, then that's sounds like something I might be interested in.
 
Arnold always though db pullovers expanded his rib cage to produce his massive chest. However after puberty expanding your rib cage is nearly impossible at least from a scientific view. Arnold kind of either proved that wrong or just had amazing gifted genetics in his chest.

But I hate using the genetics cop out because everyone blames everything on genetics these days. Oh we can't see our genes ITS THEIR FAULT!
