I hear they don’t even talk like black people.
They have Australian accents… freaky.

And they participate in Kangaroo fighting instead of dogfighting.

Small waist and giant ass is a rare occurrence, at least way rarer than a muscular person with a built waist. If you look at bber dudes, the ones who had a good clavicular width (and lat width) had a big ribcage, which is NICE.
However, in most bbers, a big ribcage comes along with a big waist and big hips (Mentzer, Viator) Yates managed to have excellent width without a giant ass, but his waist was built up to the point of him being the first “boxy” bber to win the olumpia.
Anomalies like Oliva, Zane and Buch come along once in a lifetime.
Look at that a-hole Trey Brewer…he effed up his physique with his so-called training/bulking for the nationals. All that really happened was he gained width but at the cost of thickening his waist to Cutleresque proportions.
Long story cut short, your best proportions are largely what your momma and poppa and THEIR mommas and poppas and so on handed down to you. It will take little effort to eff that up, but no amount of effort and drug use will transform someone who genetically has wide hips and ass into Oliva.
And excessive wide stance squatting and deadlifting without a belt will do plenty to give you width and thickness on top,…but unless youre one of the anomalies I mentioned earlier,…you’ll get much more junk in the trunk.

How would a waist to hip ratio prove anything? What if you have a small waist but a huge ass? Maybe you have a muscular ass.

My reason for asking was that I have a waist to hip ratio of somwehre between 0.7 and 0.8. I have like a 29-30" fully relaxed waist, but a 41" ass. And I didnt think that would make me overweight, because im still maintining a small waist, I just have a bigger ass.
You bald dingbat, that city comment was in response to his question “is he a citizen of japan” lol.
And Schlierkamp’s BEST condition as in 2002 when he placed 4th. The guy is a monster, and imo one of the finest physiques for someone who is over 6 feet tall and wants to carry around that level of mass.
Proportions do depend on structure but apart from Zane and Levrone, who REALLY ever had a perfect structure for bodybuilding?
Oliva had a narrow ribcage but his proportions were great.
Makkawy was structurally closer to a female bodybuilder.
Out of the current crop, Kai greene and Phil heath have awesome proprotions. Structure dictates the amount of mass and type of training to reach good proportions imho.
Ronnie could NEVER compete at 180 like Zane (an inch shorter) because at that mass he just wouldn;t have had the same proportions. I;m surprised that someone who is a fan of this sport confuses structural flaws with lack of proportion.

BOY. You are still maturing, developing and all that razzmatazz…your real structure has NOTTTTTT been determined yet.
And what exactly is overweight? overfat?
If I create a club “tribunaldude’s elite vegan anorexic anonymous” most of the members here including me would be OVERWEIGHT if we considered the average weight of the members of my elite group (excluding me).
Overfat refers to having a body fat% in excess of some predetermined number (usually 30%)
But if someone is 5’11" 130 and 30% do we classify him as overfat? skinny? Stop worrying about these worthless adjectives - build up lots of muscle, and when you have enoiugh size to not look puny, start cutting up. End of story.
People use labels and adjectives to avoid thinking too much. Its much easier to give advice or ridicule someone when you can conveniently fit that person into an “adjective” like “skinny fat”, “hardgainer”, “FFB” or whatever. The japanese are no exception - by using a single easily measurable (but extrmeely ambiguous) parameter, they avoid stressing their poor oriental brains and are able to neatly fit people (who don;t conform to their usual trend) into a different bracket.
My advice to you, or anyone who is carrying enough muscle to appeal to a non-oriental modern day WOMAN (not girl).don;t move to japan.

Good luck having a 32 inch waist if you do heavy squats and deads
unless you have insanely low bf%[/quote]
I remember reading in an article (I think it was buy Shugart or someone like that) that said that heavy squats and deads don’t increase your waist size, only twisting with heavy weights.
Maybe it was CT who said it.

They should ban the exportation of the fast food culture that America has popularized and massively grown (pun intended) into.
Living large and in charge! Look around at all the fat f–ks… its enough for baby Jesus to cry tears. If you could sell hard work/exercise, common sense, and good dietary habits in a pill, you would be an extremely wealthy man or woman.

Trust bust/Quality control and out please!
They don’t seem to be actually forcing people to lose weight, just forcing them to try (did that make sense?). You can’t really compare this to America. I feel that in a country with free (well, taxpayer funded. Theres no such thing as free) healthcare the government has the right to do this. Compulsory annual checkups should be part of any universal healthcare system. It’s a lot cheaper to fix problems as they develop instead of waiting until expensive operations etc are required. That’s what we do here in Australia and it doesn’t work. We sink all the healthcare budget into hospitals instead of small local clinics that could identify and prevent problems from becoming worse.
I was slightly tipsy when I wrote this so I’m sorry for any mistakes. Hic.
