Title: PRO`S waist sizes?
Post by: The True Adonis on July 30, 2006, 06:09:28 PM: What are the waist sizes of pros.

I know they like to lie. Clearly some have to be in the very high 30s- and even 40s.

Anyone know?

Not one of these 280lbs bloated wankers have a waist under 38

Post by: sarcasm on July 30, 2006, 06:22:08 PM: the bigger pros (280 plus) are easily in the 40's, i'd say Ronnies is 42-44 but his chest is probably 56-58.

Post by: Stavios on July 30, 2006, 07:21:12 PM: there is not a fucking pro who was a waist under 30 !

now I think that Melvin has a 30 inch waist but not an inch under !

maybe the pros who compete at less than 190-195 pounds could have 28 or 29 inch waist but IMO, everyone who is 220-250 have a 32-34 waist.

keep in mind that a 32 inch waist on a 220 lbs dude on stage is frikin small

Post by: Palpatine Q on July 30, 2006, 07:26:18 PM: My waist is a full 35 inches at a bodyweight of 242 lbs. and it does not look big at all, my stomach is flat and no love handles. So I find these 31-32 inch measurements on guys that outweigh me by 20 lbs. claims very suspect.

Frank McGrath claimed to have a 29" waist at 240 and I wouldn't automatically dismiss that claim.

2.WTF is the standart for measuring waists?! With or without vacum,around the belly button or where?!

Post by: Bast000 on July 30, 2006, 08:45:07 PM: I think you're supposed to measure it flexed, not sucked in at all though.
Title: Re: PRO`S waist sizes?
Post by: Yev33 on July 30, 2006, 09:00:45 PM: Anyone know if Flex's was under 30" in '93.

Flexed is a loose term too.I can flex my abs in diffrent way causing diffrent measurments.
This is the exact reason I hate the numbers for such things,no standart so basicly any claim is valid.

There is that old picture of Joe Weider measuring Flex waists while vacum,anyone remember it?That might be a clue ???

Compare McGrath and Flex to Ronnie and Jay and it's obvious that if their waists are around 30", then Ronnie's and Jay's would be much larger.

Damn..have you concluded that yourself or did you got togther with some friends to figure out that enigma?

Post by: Scimowser on July 31, 2006, 07:43:37 AM: were you there, did you measure his waist yourself? if not then you know no facts at all, you believe a statement and adopt it as your opinion. Richard Jones, melvin and Shawn had 3 of the smallest waists ever onstage. Im surprised nobody has yet mentioned Brian Buchanan's.
