Ideal waist is calculated by multiplying your height in inches by .447. I am 70 inches tall, so a waist of 31.29 is ideal. Then you calculate your ideal shoulders by multiplying that by 1.618. So I need shoulders at 50.62 to get a golden ratio. I am at 47/35, so I have a long way to go...

[@ChrisPTY507]

[@davidseney7588]

Waist also determines how much fat you really need to lose. Every 4 pounds squats to about 1 inch off you waist. Also only way to shrink you was it past how much it should be... A good way to do this is deadlift hold your breath from the bottom to up and breathe out when you come back down. Also waist is the smallest part of your back and around not the belly button or pants size.

[@nomaderic]

Not necessarily. Regardless of bulking or cutting my waist stays relatively the same. Since I finished my last cut I've gained about 20 pounds and still wear the same exact size

Great vid as always brother

[@cupocity303]

Hey Alex, why would you bulk at your height when it can make you look shorter. Doesn't being leaner make a 5'6 guy look taller. Of course if you care about more than just looks (i.e. strength; for practical purposes) then that's a different story.

I'd say that height has to be considered in any weightlifting standards, not the current weight. Weight especially muscle mass is measured by the performance and height is something that is constant in an individual.

[@copernicus99]

Good video man. One more thing that should be mentioned is age. Unfortunately waist circumference increases with age regardless of body fat percentage. Something we all have to look forward to...

there is a problem here waist and abdomen are not the same, the absomen is below the waist and the waist is always gonna be thinner because there are no bones, I'm 5'11 and my waist is 32-33 but my abdomen girth is 34 and I'm like 18%bf, if I get leaner, the lowest my abdomen may go is 32
