Instead of just saying it's a non issue, could someone explain why its a non issue?

I mean, in my mind, maybe its a non issue if you are already a Tank, but if you are naturally slim?

I am certainly not challenging anyone's opinion here, just looking for some kind of explanation.
IIRC,Lee Labrada was of the opinion squats would thicken the waist,part of the reason he avoided them for so long.But I think genetics and Guiness would play more of a role.
