Seems a handy excuse for people to train light IMO.

I've noticed a thickening of my waist from deads & doing a few more 'old school but good school' moves (for example standing barbell military press). It's usually the internal obliques & the TVA that will thicken to stabilise the core under the increased workload. The external obliques tend not to suffer as this is a deep core response, but the visual change is the same, a thicker waist. You seem to be the exception to the rule Nytol, & have kept a tight waist. There's a word for that..... oh yes, g1t! :love:
