xCx Posted August 29, 2009 Share Posted August 29, 2009 Lately I've been getting quite a bit of comments on my legs/thighs.. People are telling me that they are, and i quote, "freakishly large".. I never really thought about the size of my thighs as they've always been somewhat big and muscular compared to the rest of my body. So, today I measured them just for shit and giggles, and they came out measuring 73cm (29") So what do you guys think? Isn't 73cm thighs pretty standard size thighs for a guy that's 188cm (6'2") tall and weigh around 96kg (211lbs)? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sosso Posted August 29, 2009 Share Posted August 29, 2009 MIne are exactly the same size and we are about the same height and weight. My legs have always been pretty big too. I remember getting comments even as a kid, but now they just seem huge compared to my upper body. Do you have trouble finding pants that fit properly?

Couture547 Posted August 30, 2009 Share Posted August 30, 2009 29'' are pretty big, mine are just below that. I say there big depending on lean you are. IF your around 10 percent bf and have 29 that is really big, but if your like 20 percent then that's decent Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pants can prove to be a problem as most pants i try out are too big in the waist, and too tight in the thigh area Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Probably not a 100% correct.. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The way i squat i'd be over training doing it 2x a week I squat heavy and try to progress every time.. Never had any problems with overtraining though, not even when i was squatting at my heaviest. At the moment I'm squatting quite light (85kg) as I'm doing front squats to try and reap some of the carryover effects to my deadlift Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
