well hallo, me again.
I am torn about whether to continue with deadlifts and squats or not.
On one hand, I really want to keep a narrow waist (vanity), and i heard deads and squats blow your waist up pretty noticeably.
On the other hand, I play a lot of sports (football, ultimate, softball, soccer) and also wrestle my friends a lot (gay).... and I don't want all my muscle to be functionally useless. I imagine it'd hurt my athletic performance a lot to throw on bulky muscle while losing core strength.
Other factors to consider:
I would like to add some more mass to my legs
I don't ever want to be more than 15lbs heavier than I am now
I'm lean enough to where an increased waist size would be quite noticeable
So should i deadlift and squat?
If yes: Is there a way to reduce the impact they have on waist size (if this is even an issue)? maybe somethign to do with technique and rep scheme?
If no: Should i drop one, or both? What should i replace them with?
THANKS!!
