I beg to differ, especially in his Guntermania video (which I got, dirt-cheap, on clearance sale). His waist looks small, especially for someone nearly 300 lbs in contest shape.
You want a wide waist, that would be "The Future" Jim Quinn.
He was the future in a sense -- first case of Palumboism that I can recall. Well, before, you know, Palumbo himself
I'm actually teasing. Jim didn't suffer from Palumboism, but good God was his waist wide. In one of the magazines, he was raising hell about his placings and said, "What am I supposed to do, literally shave inches off my pelvis?" (Answer: YES. And get your ears pinned, too
.)
