Right, @psulemon?
No.
To the OP, you can see a couple of this guy's ribs to the outside of his abs. This is normal. I think this varies from one person to the next but you shouldn't be able to see them on the side or in the back.
Those aren't ribs.

Disagree. They're not that well defined that close to the second row in the abdominal wall. The arrow in your picture is pointing up to a region that's even with his pecs.
You can clearly see these exact two ribs on me at 220 lbs. or below. I know they're ribs. I can see them and I can feel them.0 -

I couldn't find a better picture, but where the arrow is pointed isn't where you were indicating either. See the striated muscles between the serratus anterior and the abs? That's what's looks like ribs on the picture you posted. It is possible to have muscle and be lean and have ribs showing. I have a wide rib cage and my ribs show all the time.0 -

I'd say those are external obliques, part of the anterolateral group of muscles that cover the ribs.
They are interdigital to the SA.

You're right. I didn't know if others would know the name for them, so I didn't use it. Just got back from my workout and I was going to go find a picture like the one you posted.0 -

Well, I wonder if the OP is talking about seeing a couple possible ribs or muscles right along the abdominal wall or a series of ribs all up their side. If it's the first case then no worries. The latter and perhaps they're too skinny and need more lean body mass.0 -
Seeing some ribs is normal at an average weight. Whether they want to gain muscle is up to them. Seeing lots of ribs at an average weight is unusual. Seeing lots of ribs while being underweight is a concern.0

That's exactly what they are - external obliques, not ribs.
I doubt that's what the OP is experiencing, though.0 -
My ribs have always been pretty visble regardless of weight. I seem to have a big rib cage is all - maybe that's why I've always had such a strong singing voice?0
