Do squats make your waist bigger?

[pumpster]

I don't want to get a big waist from squatting and not be able to make it small again.

Have you read any of the preceeding posts? What is your opinion?

I'm about 5'8" and 70kgs.

Then forget about your great legs. Again,even if your waist grow,your thigh also grow. So the ratio is always same. In other world, your waist dont grow and break that ratio until certain level like Dorian.

It may take me a while to grasp the situation and the posts in this thread. I've read them all, though. For now, I'm not squatting for the fear I've explained in this thread. I do appreciate all comments and will give it more thought as time goes on.

Are you saying that my waist will grow as my legs grow, even if I never squat again?

What about higher rep squats?  So none of the 2-6 reps thing but more than 10.  I would think that would be beneficial.

For squats,10 is regular. Not considered as a high rep set.
