Popping of the chest is caused by the cavitation of the ribbones connection to the sternum. The sternum is the large bone section at the front center of the ribcage structure. Along either side of the sternum the coastal cartilage (plural) connect the rib and the sternum. Where these connections meet the sternum are joints similar to those of the rest of the body. At these points (as in your fingers) your bones can pop or undergo cavitation (the rupturing of separated of gas bubbles mixed into fluids, resulting in the popping sound).

NO! Popping your knuckels just pushes the joint out and back into its normal postition. The sound that comes from popping them comes from the gas of the fluid that is between the bones as they are poppin in the fluid. It wont make your knuckles larger, but you might make your grip weaker if you do it too much cause it can start causing problems, such as arthritis.
