Depends on a ot of things...weight class...genetics...I see guys competing ripped at 34..Ill bet some have gone higher...all depends..if your worried about it chances are you need to work it more.

God Bless

it all depend, it was proven that more you are athletic, lift weights, do running etc. more the waist will be bigger, of course in a good way

lol, i just took a guess at it. i can hit 26 5/8-27 at complete ripness so i thought i was over guestimating.

well taken marcus and ronnie into consideration, they would completely throw the median off.

id say around 30-32 ... maybe even 34, depends on the class i guess

 

[Johnny Cut]

well im about a 34 inch, maybe ill start competing....lol

Not many I doubt with a 28 inch waste, well at least the bigger guys Gunter, Ronnie, Jay etc. More like 33 or 34 inches.

34-36 depending on size. I have two friends that are pro's, this is where they come in. They are so big though they look like 30 to the rest of us.

Taller you are, the bigger waist you have genetically.

Well if you grow tall it's not like you just get stretched out, but your width gets stretched out too. I am not saying there is a whole lot of different but if I had the waist I have at my 6'3 heght at 5'3 then I would be considered fat.

Can you imagine a guy 5'3 with a 36inch waist??? That's pretty fat, but not for 6'3.

30-32?...highly unlikely, have you seen the size of their guts?

im 6 foot 3 too, and my waist is pretty big. of course im also a fatass
no, just kidding. But seriously, a skinny waist really makes the upper body look bigger. especially the back.

Arnold had a 34 inch waist. Looked smaller because of the twisting poses he did, that's why he posed that way.

I agree bro, but next time you shouldn't state it as if it were a fact. Because it is not.

Offseason there waists can get up to a 40. Contest as low as 30.
