AAP, Omega, and all you other guys who avoid excersises that give you a big waist

[Sub-Zero]

so im starting to realize my heavy deadlifting and heavy squatting at my height and hormone levels are putting more size on my waist and butt and its looking disproportional to the growth in my upperbody (lats/upper shoulder and width development) and wrecking my v-taper.

i know iv gained some fat (fuck you puddlemonkey), but iv also noticed a drastic increase in waist size and im very seriously considering bailing on heavy squats and dls, but will probably do them in very high reps or for example today i did "explosive deadlifts" with a power shrug at the top for my traps, but with like half the weight i usually deadlift.

when i get here i was told that squatting and deadlifting HEAVY release growth hormones in the body that help everything else grow. so iv always attributed my growth in other parts of my body to lifting these 2 heavy.

do you guys who avoid the waist growth excersises believe the hormone stuff, or do you take so many hormones that you dont give a fuck? or am i over stressing it and taking that too seriously.


and for those of you like javaguru who will feel the need to chime in, i dont care about your abs when u were 13 or how much better ur genetics are than mine

I thought you were all about power, and were fat with little definition anyway?

But yah, if your into the vanity - and your waist is big enough - lay the fuck off the heavy core shit.

Common sense.

I always felt that dls and squats thinkening your waist was a crock of shit. I mean, why would it? Show me? Same as wide grip chins making you wider? Another crock of shit.

i think the theory is because you engage your core to stabalize you when your having so much heavy weight, your body has to respond to it otherwise you collapse...

In my novice opinion I say gain lots of muscle, drop to a low enough bf% and you shouldn't have a problem with definition. If proportion's your problem you could always make your upper body larger.

yeah but will the rest of my body not want to grow as much either?

lose the fat and that midsection mcmuscle will shrink.

If you were naturally girlishly waisted with small hips you wouldn't be lifting heavy weights in the first place.

i think i might want a girlsh waist though. it just looks way better. im not trying to hate on you, but i resemble your avatar in a much smaller scale, and i just think i looked way better when my abs and obliques wernt so jacked

and cal, im never gunna stop trying to get bigger, so if it was as simple as making my upper body get bigger then i woulda done it...
