Vince_ThePhoenix Posted August 17, 2008 Share Posted August 17, 2008 I had a friend who wanted to increase his waist size(not look fatty) as he recently noticed that his body is not proportional. His waist is too small compared to his shoulder. He had a few problems when dealing with clothing etc.. Any ideas about solving this problem? Or any exercises which should be done? Accurate answers if possible. Thanks. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Creed Bratton Posted August 17, 2008 Share Posted August 17, 2008 Ain't you the guy who wanted to act like a mafia boss in school? Anyway, "your friend" could use some training and whatnot. Gym is always a good place. Maybe even a private coach in the gym. If the gym offers one of those Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Machida Posted August 17, 2008 Share Posted August 17, 2008 You'd have to increase your overall BMA, and get fitter. Squats, sit ups and weighted side bends would probably help you... I mean your friend. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Your body will max out after that and it's pointless to go on. You shouldn't spend more than a half hour working on one particular body part though. Neal40000 actually gave some sound advice.

pimp_60cent Posted August 17, 2008 Share Posted August 17, 2008 I actually laughed hard. Especially coming from a "bodybuilder". The advice he is giving the OP is to go to the gym and train every other day (Mon, Wed, Fri) for 3 hours each time and he will gain muscle. This couldn't be farther away from the truth. Training for three days and each day consists of three hours, will result in 6 hours working out in the week. Which is considered over training. Since the healthy number is up to 5. In which you actually get opposite results, instead of gaining muscle, you begin to lose muscle because you're body can't keep up. You hit a plateau and decline. Therefore, when I said that I hoped he was joking, was because if the OP gave this advice to his friend, it would backfire and hurt him instead of helping him. not just one day, every 2 or 3 days go. after a month take steroids Neal40000 actually gave some sound advice.

Neal40000 Posted August 17, 2008 Share Posted August 17, 2008 thats why you eat a propper diet whilst doing so.. (gain muscle) its commonsense. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pimp_60cent Posted August 17, 2008 Share Posted August 17, 2008 True, but even though you're eating the right diet, protein, vitamins, ect. It won't do you much good when you start overtraining. Which could lead to disastrous results. Maybe reading this will help http://www.bodybuilding.com/fun/novice_overtraining.htm Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Machida Posted August 17, 2008 Share Posted August 17, 2008 You alternate between muscle groups, I've found the best results come from training a particular muscle group no more than twice a week for at leat a half hour each time. If your talking "bodybuilding" then that requires a high protein/zinc diet with pleny of vits and minerals. However the OP is talking about the abdominal muscle group. It's near impossible to overtrain that region. An hour or more a day won't result in overtraining. Neal mentioned 3 hours for the overall body, which is entirely true.

Your abdomen isn't just used for sitting up in your bed when you wake up, ect. You use it in more ways than you think. But hitting it every other day along with he obliques for 30-40 mins isn't bad. Although it is a regular muscle group. So it makes sense to train it like one, no more than twice a week to see maximum results along with a good steady diet and cal counting.

XMike Posted August 18, 2008 Share Posted August 18, 2008 (edited) If someone trains 3 hours a day 3 days a week you're going to hurt your body. Keep it at an hour to an hour and a half a day, 3 or 4 days a week. Do main core lifts like squats, deadlifts, ect. Oh, and eat, eat a lot.

HolyGrenadeFrenzy Posted August 20, 2008 Share Posted August 20, 2008 3 hours a day for someone under 18 with no previous experience? XMike pretty much gave the best advice you can get for increasing mass.. (and strength, if that's what you're looking for?) I would personally suggest some core isometrics as well if what XMikes suggestions are being done. A few for flexibity in the regiment and a few for mass, density and increased strength. All of those he mentioned can be great with 2 minutes of "TNT"s everyday. Remember with the added isometrics you only need to start with three of each exercise/each day for the first week and ten of each exercise/each day from then on out. A full regiment of isometrics will only increase your daily workout about 30-45 minutes per session. In this case that would be between 2-5minutes for a great peak benefit. Of course I suggest leaving the isometrics until the end of the workout to get more burn for your time. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

(and strength, if that's what you're looking for?) Neal was talking about bodybuilding and increasing overall muscle. The OP from what I understand wants to increase his BMI. That's a simple as jogging 2 or 3 times a day more than you usually would. Exercise regulary, add more protein to your diet. Squats will increase your testosterone levels which make gaining mass that bit easier. The best thing I could suggest would be doing 10-15 squats before a good 3 mile run. Always make sure you eat something within a half hour of exercise. If you want to increase you waiste size, working on the lower back would be more important than working the front. The back muscles are much larger, so you are able to push them further and they will grow more rapidly than your abdominals. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He's talking about the waist size. Which Is the opposite most men want. Thick, broad shoulders and a tiny waist, most often called the V Taper. The best thing I could suggest would be doing 10-15 squats before a good 3 mile run Woah woah woah, 3 miles? Let him get 1 done, before he moves onto doing triathlons and sh*t.
