Do you have a large waist?

[Cactus kid]

I was wondering how many out there have bigger waist even though you are lean?

My last contest on contest day, empty stomach, my waist measures 33 1/2 inches while sucking in. Currently, at 5'11",my waist measures 35 inches, but all my bottom two abs are showing, I have veins in my legs an see separation in all muscle groups, but my gosh I have a big waist! How do you guys measure up?

I bounce around 33-34 and thats a loose fit. I try not to let myself get that out of shape.

So exactly where do you measure? Reason I ask is that I have to buy larger waisted pants to accomodate my thighs and ass and then just use a belt to keep them up. If I buy a 34 or 36 waist I am swimming at the waistline, yet when I measure around my naval it's about 34...just doesn't seem right. And I'm lean with 6+ abs showing, etc. so not sure what the deal is.

Waist was 35" when I hit 255 lbs. I was worried about having to get a new weight belt, but I guess I'm cool for now since I'm back on my way down.
I'm a little over 29" come contest.

how many calories are you eating and how much do you weigh?

I once was very lean at 187 lbs with a 33.5 inch waist... contest prep was 3000 cals, down to 2200 cals...

now i'm 203 lbs with a 32 inch waist.

and i measure from the naval... from under the obliques i'm 33 inches.

Shit I'm 6' tall and 218 and my waist is 37. I've always had a big waist. Can some of us just be built different then others and never have a small waist. When I was 22 i weighed 183 lbs and my waist measured 36. I also have wide hips.

I have a huge waist. I've worn the same pant size from 150lbs-210lbs. Not great for aesthetics but great for athletic performance.

any of you guys using igf, or hgh at high doses by any chance?

 

[TR-Hazard]

I've had a 34" waist since I was 175lbs in highschool and i'm 6'1" - got up to 253lbs and still had the same size waist.

No, i possibly did 4-8iu day during last prep, but only for 13 weeks. A 34 pant, besides being obsceenly tight in the legs and ass, actually fits loose.

 

[bdodge]

I am 36.5 at 6"1' @ 222.......
I only went down to 35" 15 years ago and I was 168.....

It drives me NUTS!!!!!
