HJ, do you know how many guys would kill to have a smaller waist?? And you want a bigger one? I'm a little confused! Do you mean "waist" or over all bulk??

Military muscle.......sorry but have been away for a bit. But in response to the waist size issue.
Power lifters, well the super heavies anyway usually have the belly from the tons of food they eat. it really does not come from the pressure in the abdomen. Now I never said that DL's will widen your waist as such, they will thicken it to a point. From your erectors at the rear to your obliques at the sides. these muscle groups take a hammering when doing DL's correctly. it is your obliques that tend to thicken as well as the upper gluteal area. When you obliques get thicker it tends to make your waist expand a bit. Look at The freak Paul Dillett, this guy had monster obliques to the point that it actually took away from his V taper a lot. So your obliques come into play big time while deadlifting. Your erectors at the rear will get thicker also thus expanding your waist size from front to back, add to this the thicker abdominal wall to cope with the monster loads being hoisted and you have increased waist size. it should not look disteneded or bloated. That would be a by product of diet more than anything.
