straight arm pull overs expand the ribcage is a myth, correct?

I know this post is five years late but.
If bones can`t be shaped, then how come Women in Chiang Mai or to Mae Hong Som, can have really long necks by applying lock rings on them?
that would prove that a bone structure can be changed atleast in length by constantly applying pressure.
If this is true then doing pullovers to expand your ribcage over the course of time also work by constantly applying more weight. Because i don`t think so many wimen in these cultures are born with those long necks, then they wouldn`t have to use lock rings.

You know if they take those rings off there necks will collapse because there vertebra are so separated.....

You are correct sir. As you mentioned, however, it is the breathing that causes the physiological change. You can't just do pullovers. The pullovers must be used in connection with the proper breathing technique, and they usually only work during the teenage years.

See 20 rep squat programs.
E.g., 20 rep breathing squats (using 10 rep max), followed by pullovers immediately as a superset.
Kinda like u are saying
This is true and they all start at a tender age.
Breathing pullover itself can be more effective at a tender age because the cartilago holding the ribs to the sternum hasn't lost it's pliability which past the mid 20s makes it very hard to the pullover prove it's value, there's no cientific data that proves or denies the abilty to expand rib cage through this exercise nonetheless old school bodybuilders like Dave Draper, Steve Reeves claimed the effectiveness. I have done them and like it alot.

well since you did say vertebra i would assume you were talking about there necks.i was just saying the neck and back stay the same but it pushes the shoulders and rib cage down.

I see what your saying but that is what happens, whether its the neck being pushed up or the shoulders being pushed down you still separate the vertebrae so much when you remove them your neck just goes FLOP. lol

sorry bro dont want to burst your bubble but the entire vertebrae stays exactly the same saw it on national geographic a while back.
