I have a rubbery lump on my rib cage. it causes no pain, but seems to be on the bone. i think it began growing when i was doing exercises for my abdomen.

Your rib: consists of both bone and cartilage, more of the latter when you are younger. Show it to your doctor just to be sure, but it does not sound alarming.
