Well, to me, one of the purposes of bodybuilding is to be aesthetically pleasing, obviously. So keeping the waist slim is just part of it. Having a bulging gut, be it muscle or not, doesn't look very nice if you ask me.

That's just a case of having very low bodyfat and some decent genetics for the abs, ie symmetry.

That's the result of years and years of gymnastics training.

I did those when I used to do gymnastics. Had my coach supporting me for the handstand push ups, though.
