Hello guys.
Well, some time ago i asked something about Maximilian armours´ proportions, and now, i was thinking again, and i have seen that some of those armours have very tight waists (The breastplate´s waistline)

What do you think about that?
Does the breastplate compress the waist of the human body? If it is so, Why and how much?

Thanks!

P.D.
The shoulders are very broad too, i don´t know if it is due to the training or the thin waistline.
