Okay, we must not be understanding each other.
You said PLers are wide b/c of how they train, I said, it has more to do with genetics.
Then, I show you a picture of Kyle, and elite Pler, and you say that was your point. Kyle trains like a Pler and DOES NOT have wide hips and IS NOT developing out of proportion. I say, that's b/c of his genetics, despite his PL routine (which is 100% PL). I did that in order to emphasize my point that genetics have more to do with PLer proportions (especially squatters / dlers) than their training routine does.
So, my point in bringing a pic of kyle was to say that training like a powerlifter isn't what causes people to have wide hips, it's the fact that they were born with wide hips that makes them have wide hips, lol. (and thus, fit for two of the 3 PL movements).
Many great squatters and DLers have wide hips. Now, you can assume that they have wide hips b/c they squat or DL alot, or you can assume they're great squatters / DLers b/c their genetics allow it (including the wide hips--which, as an PLers exhinilo confirms help the lifter for those two exercises).
I never said there weren't genetically gifted PLers with great proportions, i just said that the training style has less to do with most elite PLers developing a certain way than their genetics.
I'm not going to deny that sometimes you see PLer with ridiculous biceps and things b/c they do'nt train them, that does happen--and in that case, that would be a routine that makes a PLer out of proportion (or adds to the problem). But, I'm sure that if you took many of the guys you see in PL with wide hips, and had them traing BBers style, you would see that their proportions stay similar. There WOULD be improvement, but ultimately, their genetics would keep their hips wide.
I've got a cousin who was born to PL (yet he doesn't). He doesn't even DL and he pulled 600lbs not that long ago. Hell, he doesn't even work his legs--he just runs in the Marines. He's got a big ass, legs (about 30" with veins running through them at 6' tall), and wide hips--naturally--and always has. There is nothing you could do, short of reconstructive surgery that I'm sure most doctors wouldn't dare to do, that could change the way he is built.
He could do what he's trying to do, and focus on his back and shoulders to make up for it, but you can still tell. He could easily be an elite PLer, but he could never be an elite BBer, not because of how he trains, but because of how he was born.
(Can you tell, I lie on the genetics side of the fence
hahaa)
