If not, what's it measuring here?
-
27 is extreme.. I wouldn't believe he was even below 29 ever unless it was proved
-
It's small and around 30" is believable. How much below that...well...no one knows except for maybe 240 or Bust.
-
Could he match up with Tony? Or Brian? Doesn't seem so
-
over the past couple of years cause he has put on some real muscle his waist has gotten a bit bigger... i really dout it would even be in the 20's any more... most prob 30 to 31....
-
He's ruined his waist without improving much elsewhere. Too bad.
-

creflo dollar waist looks about 30-31 in that pic
-
There's no male pro bodybuilder in the world with a waist less than 30 inches - they tell you otherwise, they're lying.

Troy Alves' Is smaller...

By todays standards its still pretty good, but it is over 30. No pro today has a waist under 30.

Errr..... Hate to break the news to you, but Melvin NEVER had a 27 inch waist. You may find this hard to believe, but Pro BBers, they tend to ***exagerate*** these things. Honest.
He never had a 27 inch waist.
Bingo.

Brian Buchanon is the only pro that would come CLOSE to a 27 inch waist-and it is not 27, might be 29 or 30.
To put this in to perspective, Arthur Jones at Nautilus HQ's in the early 70's had Sergio Oliva training there-and Arthur measured Sergio's waist at 30 inches, and his legs were 31 inches, Sergio is the ONLY pro that legitimately had legs bigger than his waist.
Now, if you look at Sergio's waist from pics in that time persiod his waist is SMALLER than Melvins and about the same size as Brian Buchanon.

There was a dude here that had pics of when Brian started winning the Mr. Britain contests, his waist was so small that he had to pin his posing trunks over. So yes, Brian had a 27 inch waist. As far as Melvin, I think he did when he first started competing. He is 5'8 and was 230, yet his waist was freaky small. it could be true that he did, but who really cares.
Now Flex had claimed a 27 inch waist back in 1993 as well. If you ever noticed, that Brian, Melvin, and Flex, and JoJo Ntiforo all have the same type of physique.

I like Melvin, probably one of the most honest people in BBing......but he never had a 27" waist, at least at this level. The smallest mine has even been is 26 1/2 and I was about 80lbs lighter...this is when is was 26 1/2......

I would tend to doubt even Jones claim. I don't think there ever was a bodybuilder with thighs bigger than their waist. Tons have claimed they do but none verified.

You must have really small girly hips to sport a 26.5" waist.

maybe you should go and 'buy' a $1000.00 worth of spelling lessons.
anyway drama- queen, is this picture circa the same time you had a 485 pound bench like you claimed? oh sorry- that was highschool, right?
lol.
nice attempt at pimping your self. only thing you really managed to do was once again make yourself look like an idiot.
congratulations.

you are a mess. and yes i do.
spill it all, underachiever.
all you have is a hard drive full of pics of some fat kid you must beat off to, that you try to pass off as me.
the oldest trick in the book and so predictable.
come up with something better.
or, maybe don't- it makes pointing out how much of a stiff you are that much more enjoyable.

AAhhhh, your the fat kid in the pic, If it weren't you wouldn't have melted down so bad after Pegg owned your ass for 7 pages. Get over it fat boy, you've been exposed!

Are you fucking high??????
Arthur Jones was the ONLY person who stated verified measurements.
There are definitely BBers that have 32,33, and even 34 inch thighs, so it would be very possible to have a waist that is smaller than those measurements.
For the record, if you read my post-Jones had ALL the top BBers of the time at Ocala FL at one time or another, and he measured ALL of them.
Arnold's arm, cold was 19 5/8, Sergio's arms, cold, were 20.5. Jones also stated that Sergio was the only pro BBer to have a legitimate 20 inch arm. Since most people measure their arms pumped I do not agree with using a cold measurement.
But those are the facts.
-

Yes and that's the reason I don't automatically believe it. Was there anyone else present? Remember, Jones also claimed Viator didn't use any hormones during the Colorado Experiment. So he wasn't above bullshit. Do you think Jones' word is enough proof?

I haven't seen any proof of any bodybuilder having thighs bigger than their waist. I remember when Steve Neece offered 5K to any bodybuilder who could prove this by letting him tape them. This was after Wheeler claimed some outrageous measurements on stage at the ASC. No takers.

how old are you today?

Ellington Darden was there, and wrote this in one/some of the Nautilus books of the 70's.
I have never seen anything written about Casey and that Colorado experiement, and that would therefore include nothing about drugs. It is obvious that Casey was on a serious drug cycle though.
There is no way anyone in TODAYS BBing will have a waist under 32,33 inches-the GH/insulin puts 10 inches on the waist.
I would guess that Tom Platz, Tim Belknap and Jeff King all had legs bigger than their waist.

sorry cupcake, but it was jpegg who got owned when he failed to step up to the bet.
and, you only wish that fat kid was me- i imagine in your eyes it would make being you so much more bearable.
hope this helps.

who the hell wants a 27" waist line, kinda girly if you as me... as long as the bb has proportion, shouldnt matter how wide his waist or hips are.

You know what, when you look at Brian Buchanons waist it does look very weird, being so small. So I am going to agree, as long as it all flows and fits together-you're cool!
-

Sorry dude, you can't have proportion when the average waist is over 40". Way back when, when bodybuilding was bodybuilding was to keep your waist small. You can't do anything about hip structure but you sure as hell can do something about waist size.

I had a 27 inch waist when I was in highschool, how much strenght or leverage can a dude have with that small a waist. I just think there has to be room for other types of aesthetics, like Atwood and Federov, who dont have tiny waists but are still great bodybuilders ......just cause someone is born with wide hips shouldnt stop them from being a champion. However, I am not talking about gh gut here, thats a whole different problem.

Ahh, where is that pic of Brian Buchanan squatting 500+? And in Melvin Anthony's "Marvelous" vid he's front squatting some serious weight...so there goes that question.

I personally saw Brian Buchanonn in 88 or 89 at Gold's, Venice hit 600# squats (6 plates/side) for reps, very strong legs-and the waist held that shit up.
-
Prior to the Arnold, he said that his is 26.5 inches.

Again, there is nothing you can do about structure, Atwood and Federov are not known for their asthetics, Atwood had freaky conditioning and was big, thats it. No one (and even the "no one" on this board) cares about their waist size, hardly anyone has anything in the way of true bodybuilding aethetics.
As far as having a small waist for leverage.........this is bodybuilding not powerlifting, who cares?
-
I doubt its 27 inches now maybe at one time but I think it was said best as ruined his waist and didn't improve much else. Sad he was one of my favorites
-
I blame Milos for the "expanded" waists in todays BBing.

So you blame Milos that you showed up to your comp with rolls of fat on your lower back and extra cushion of water on your gut ???
-
No, I don't blame Milos, at least I looked better than King....what was Milos' excuse for that?
BTW, you really need to know what's fat and what isn't!

might i suggest you go to the ' the insulin diaries' thread as posted by mad nickels- it can be found here: http://www.getbig.com/boards/index.php?topic=205088.0
i do believe it is dedicated to you, joey.
in it you will find yourself performing a 'pose' of some nature where you are showcasing not a dry and lean rear double bi but instead a very SOFT and FAT back and hams.
truly a disgrace to competitive bodybuilding, really.
'btw', i think it is you who needs to discern the difference between 'what is fat and what isn't'.
hope this helps, sport.

My suggestion to you is to STFU....this is a BBing board, you don't belong on here, I hear Jenny Craig has a "support" board, try there.

well cause bodybuilding is supposed to represent the ideal male form of stength and beauty, so if a guy has a tiny waist and isnt very strong or athletic then he's not ideal.. unless the guy is very short, then of course it would make sense. Guys with wider hips/waists are probably better at sports than guys with tiny waists so why is tiny so ideal?
I dont know why Federov and Atwood are not considered aesthetic, I think they are, they are mass monsters but are proporionate to their frame. They should not be discounted or considered inferior for having wide hips.
