How do I make my waist wider?

[erowana]

Deadlifts will increase the side view width of the waist and I been doing them like mad. I need exercises to increase the front width. Reason is my body doesn't look powerful enough cos of my slim waist. Most girls also seem to prefer something big to hold on to. My shoulders are pretty wide, but I d just like to expand the waist bout 1 inch to give that powerful core look.

Anyway, honestly, why would you want a wider waist? You want to do something that will make you look less aesthetic? I'd kill to make my waist an inch or two narrower.

yeh, REALLY!!!!!!!! why would anyone want to THICKEN up their waist? i'd give my left you-know-what to have your "problem"!

You look more aesthetic and your chest and shoulders will look bigger with a tiny waist. Girls will like the tiny waist more. Its a more attractive look. Girls I used to work with used to comment on it, and it would get back to me, whenever I'm leaner and my waist is 32" or smaller. Trust me on this. Also, if you plan on competing (in bodybuilding), a smaller waist is always better.

Hey no offense BBF, I know how popular having a small waist is. But I just wanna get a wider waist anyways.

holy crap! my waist is over 40 inches now! lol

my midsection gets a little leaner every week now that i've been doing HIIT but i've just started adding good mornings and ab work in so that keeps the waist decent-sized, im sure

If you are saying what I think you are than the size of your pelvic bone and hip sort of control that, I cant think of any muscle to work that would make that wider.

The only reason it is necessary to bulk up the waist is if you are interested in building extra stabilizing support for the squat and deadlift.

Really focus on the heavy compound movements. . the growth of the waist is determined by genetics.

Will pullovers help? I heard it expands the ribs, hence it may make the waist wider too?

I get a lot of shit for having a thick waist. I'm not big by any means but since I incorporated squats and deads more often, especially deads, it grew. I had to go to military clothing to get a new set of trousers. I had to get 35's. They make you feel fat by saying shit about wearing 35's especially when I was issued 31's in bootcamp.
