Paranoid about offseason waist size

hardcoremuscle · Jun 9, 2005

Guys just curious as to what you guys would consider to be a danger zone for an offseason waist size? See I am 5'9" and I wear a 34 pants at a weight of 245-250 pounds. I just like to get some feedback on where to draw the line for an offseason waist size so I know not to go overboard.For example would me putting on another 10-20 pounds be too much if its going to mean that I would be wearing a 36.Thanx for your input!

Way individual bro.... Alot of times in the off season your pants will be tighter and seem tighter in the waist but actually it can be from your leg size and ass growing as well. Always keep that inmind when your gaining weight.

Get yourself some Fat clothes, then keep your skinny clothes. I personally dont really compete but love being a clean 225 at 6'2 around 10% bodyfat, Whenever I bulk or train my legs hard most of my pants dont fit in the thigh/ass area, so I buy a few pairs of Baggier jeans. If you are young and can handle it going up to a 36 for another 10-20lb isnt so bad, just make them good pounds.

I really would pay more attention to the mirror. I can only imagine how big some bodybuilders wear their pants, so I wouldn't pay attention to the size. Like someone else said, legs/ass growing, stomach distention from food/water, etc. can all play a big part in waist size throughout the day so don't wrap your mind up in it.

Like Edd sayed,its all diferent for everyone
but why do you care?you want to put another 10-20 lb and be the same pants size.i mean you cant get both at the same time.i never worry about thing like that,i do grow and i do get ready for the show.but if you want to stay lean all the time,thats a diferent storry.buts its going to much harder to put those 10-20 pounds.

pants size is about hips mainle... measure around the navel and go by the mirror if you are super worried.

Fuck 250 @5'9" and only a 34 in waist...i think that is pretty damn good. I am 225lbs weight @ 5'5" and have to buy 38 pants and shorts just so they will fit my legs. My waist does fit a 34 but will not go over the quads so... At one time a few years ago i went the eat and get big route and had to wear 38 pants because i was a fat mutha f**ker and i had no problem loosing the wight for my next show so i tnk you have some room deoending on how good your diet and motavation is.
