Never said i was bud. My back is probably my weakest point.
I said if your obliques hurt deadlifting you're doing them wrong.
You mean don't hurt? I never disagreed. What I said is your they should be the least sore compared to lower back/lats.Never said i was bud. My back is probably my weakest point.

I think it'll make a sick back. Thick waist, na. My obliques are never sore after deads . Only lower back/lats

I usually do 25-30 reps with 315 at the end of my back workout, this is relatively light for me and gets my back nice and pumped no oblique soreness.
The obliques soreness only comes if I go heavier 10 reps with 495+ etc, there is no wrong way to do 10 reps with 495lbs trust me.
Heavy deads and squats will thicken the waist, will it turn a 30" waist into a 34" waist? - no but it can and will add an inch or so and that might be offset with the width you gain up top from doing them

No worries brotha. I love deads too! And I'll post a pic of the back still just for fun.Exactly. I love deadlifts so even if they did thicken my waist id still do them.
My mistake then Monster. I guess we were agreeing, just worded poorly/differently

If you feel that deadlifts off the floor will widen your waist (which it might) , simply do rack pulls instead.Thanks for the replies guys. I would compete in june and i want to try to reduce my waist.
I would like an opinion from Dante and John Meadows
Waist width is set by bones, the top of the hip bones just below where the obliques attach, obliques don't make your waist wider, they can actually accentute your v-taper. It can be hard to tell if you aren't lean enough.
Damn the pic above is photo shopped, here is an untouched on, still shows the same thing
Kia is actually using his obliques to accentuate his v-taper in that front double bi. In the photoshopped pic you can see from the outline of the photo that the bottom of their obliques begins the first part of the V then the lats the upper part of the V, the narrowest part is set by the hip bones where the trunks sit. I do agree Phil is a little blocky there but that is a side effect of getting that huge everywhere else imo, most bodybuilders will do nothing but improve their physique by developing their obliques to reasonable levels.
Lol phill an Kai are horrible examples. Both with turtle shell guts so everything pushes out. Old school guys deadlifted and waist all looked small back then. Franco did heavy dreads and I believe Arnold powelifted when he was young and pulled 710.
