He must be arching his back severely and hiding it with his arm, while vacuuming his stomach. It looks obscene.

^^ Spot on Freako!!!

Only time it would be possible to do any chest expansion is during adolescence. Even then you are more likely to do damage than actually expand anything.

How is this possible? I can do something similar, but it's not the same. I can control my lungs, and expand them really high it looks like this almost. Nobody I know can do it. :|

what is the point of expanding your rib cage, ive never understood the reason for it. I for one have a Ginormous ribcage and its not helping my chest development.

Well in theory, the bigger your rib cage the more muscle you can slap on to it. And it really shows in shots like the side chest pose, having a big rib cage.

He hasn't magically "expanded his ribcage", he's creating the illusion that he has. Arnold used to do the same thing. Read my post above.
