Some pros claim to have a 27-29" waist, but when I look at their pictures, it looks to be about the size of my waist, which is 30-32" I would think, but I will measure it again to be sure.  I think the lower the body, providing especially if you have the mass to make it look more dramatic.

[EL Mariachi]

i think those pro's measure their waist at the thinnest point, you have to measure at your widest waist position.

Generally, I'd consider a 16 inch drop between chest size and waist size to be excellent for the average male weightlifter.

I will have to take a picture to show where I'm measuring it...I'm measuring it basically where my pants would fall.  It's 32.75" sticking out my stomach as far as I possibly can and 30.75" sucking it in as much as I can - without pulling the tape as hard as possible, but just keeping it tight.  31.5" relaxed.

I have a small waist -27 inches, the problem with having a small waist is finding damn pants that fit. Pants with a 27-28 inch waist are way too tight on me, so I have to get a larger waist size and use a belt. This sometimes looks ridiculous because the belt squeezes the life out of my pants.

how big is your chest

[EL Mariachi]

how big is your chest

40

[muscularny]

chest should be 14+ inches bigger then waist

if you got a 48 cest and a 34 waist u look amazing

if you got a 40 inch chest u need a 28 inch waist to look nice

Since when did having a small waist make someone so muscular mate? I wish that was the case, then I would really be melting down (whatever that means)

If you have 15 inch arms you need about a 28 inch waist.

[Rami]

If your hips are wide it doesn't matter if you have a small waist. Hips needs to be small to have great tapper. Unless you want to look like a woman...

i don't know why, maybe cuz i'm intoxicated, but i think this thread's hilarious.  so many twunts are being destroyed in this thread.  especially "mat" and mariachi.  ha ha, 15 inch arms and 35 inch waist.

[Earl1972]

measure over the belly button and push your stomach out as far as it goes

it depends on height too, taller guys always have bigger waists

arnold's was 34 and had a nice vaccuum pose

Your waist size is a genetic thing, I have a 30 inch waist right now at about 225 lbs, I'm sure dieted down I could get as low as 28 not bragging just saying you can't really do much about it. Just get as lean as you can and don't train your obliques.

No doubt you can lose size on your waist with diet, but there is a point where it can't shrink any further.

[dogbowl]

if ronnie coleman represents the ideal of recent years, then the ideal waist measurement is about 45 inches.

hahaha!........my god a 40'' chest and a 35'' waist

[Kwon]

Didn't Flex Wheeler have 75-78 cm waist as best?

Or was that Tony Pearson?

If you can get your waist down to 78 or even 75 cm, more power to you!

For me it feels like an impossibility atm
