You know, at some point, I think a fella is just "stuck" with a certain minimum size waiste. My luv handles are almost gone, but I can still pinch an inch there. But I think the bottom line is I'm just big there. didn't used to be that way. But very little fat. Not sure what else I can do. I "may" be able to get down to a 36 if I try real hard, but i fear that would mean impacting additional muscle gains elsewhere.

Any ideas?
Out of curiosity, how tall are you? I'm just asking, because taller/bigger guys can sometimes have a bigger waist. For instance, take a look at a guy like 50 Cent (the rapper, assuming you know who he is) - he has an excellent physique, but apparantly has a 38 inch waist - and also happens to be 6'3 or so. If you didn't know who he was, you might think he's on the fat side just based on his waist. I'm willing to bet he's around 10% bodyfat. So waist size can be misleading sometimes...
