I noticed my waist thicken after doing heavy deadlifting, 600+lbs. So my opinion is just mine and from my experiences.

Also remember, Razors woman can dead over 3 plates a side, we`re not talking sissy weight here.

So its just my opinion that if a person is fighting trying to get more of an V-taper, it might be something to be mindful of if they already are a bit thicker in the waistline to begin with.

Once again just my opinion.
