Some trainers often advise women to avoid squats and deadlifts, saying these exercises thicken the midsection. They're wrong. Often, the cause of a athlete's blocky waist is the abuse of drugs and just simply not abiding to his or her proper nutrition. Women who have very firm glutes regularly do squats and deadlifts and it hasn't negatively impacted their aesthetics and physique through out her body. Core exercises like planks, weighted crunches, and side bends lead to far greater levels of abdominal wall activation than squats and deads. Heavy, frequent ab and oblique training can create a blocky waist or "turtle shell" abs. To fix a thick waist, you may need to reduce or stop all direct ab/oblique training.
