chest size vs. waist size

**clockworks** · 01-22-2003, 01:54 AM

in the spirit of my "what percent of your bodyweight can you bench", here's another kinda proportions question. how does your waist size compare to your chest size? i think this is a really good question because arnold says that back in his day, a small waist was vital to winning competitions. i'm not really into pro bodybuilding, but i must admit, a small waist really really makes a big chest look better. and i also think is funny when i see huge guys at the gym struting around like they are the shit when they have guts the size of my intellect (or my ego for that matter, haha...its a joke...

)

so lets hear it!

waist: 31-32
chest: dunno...=/

**Tapout** · 01-23-2003, 12:11 AM

my chest is 50" and my waist is 36"--waist was 38" so now chest looks bigger

I keep needing to clarify this. WHERE exactly are you measuring your waste? See I wear my pants kinda low, not at my belly button (which apparently some people do). Can someone just post a pic of WHERE the "waist" is. The difference between waist and hips and wutever.

28" waist, it used to be 27.5" until I started bulking.

Chest not quite sure...

**thegame01** · 01-28-2003, 11:58 PM

it depends what you call small ,moderate,big....... i voted for moderate on both

It also depneds how you measure your waist because i have wear 32" pants but yet measure 34 inches at the waist and stomach (so it;s not placement of the jean) and i also do not wear my pants tight .i tried a 34 before and they are way to loose .Kinda strange isnt it???????
My chest is 45"

Are we talking about relaxed or expanded measurements? I can expand my chest out to 53", but it is only 49-50" or so when relaxed.

As for my waist, it can go anywhere from 38" (before breakfast) to 40/41" (after the all-you-can-eat buffet in chinatown).
