Legs getting too big!
« on: Feb 17, 2009, 04:16 PM »
Recently I have been looking for pants, and realized I cant fit into anything anymore cause of my thighs!  I end up having to try on size 42 pants to get thighs that fit, while i am swimming in a massive waist (i am a 36 waist).  Has anyone else dealt with this?, i am not lean nor fat really, and my upper body isn't that big, just my thighs from all the squatting i would guess.  Funny thing is my FSQ is only 145 kg, and my BSQ 175, haha so all that size for nothing.  Anyone have any suggestions on finding pants to fit, or squatting that wont result in large thighs for moderate strength?
My current squat program is this...
End of the workout, after snatches and CJ stuff... 2 sets of 3 at 80%, 2 sets of 2 at 85%, and 3 sets of 2 at 90%, and occasionally 95-100% for a single.

Think you have naturally large thighs and might also be distributing your fat there more than usual. Your training program certainly isn't a bodybuilding type program that would encourage a lot of mass. Singles?

Diet, your legs will get thinner.

I haven't gained any weight, i.e. on the the scale, and I'm doubting the fat i already had, got up and redistributed to my legs.  And they also don't look fat, as subjective as that is.  Anyone out there recommend a lower volume squat portion of the program, and have gotten good strength gains?  Or a good brand of pants that tend to fit?

I believe MC Hammer would have a lot of insight into the situation.

And if you can't find the MC Hammer pants in your local vintage clothing store, take a tip from Tom Platz:  just go with extra-long t-shirts and dispense with the pants altogether.

I know a guy who's legs get too big from riding a bike. Seriously. Sometimes the answer is just genetics.

The way jeans are so baggy today, I am surprised this is a problem. Maybe you should go to the same stores as the teenagers?

I love the no pants idea, i hate wearing pants.  The teenagers pants have all that hip hop writing all over them, honestly, other than a small discreet brand tag, why do pants need to be grafitotagged?
