Tanuki Posted May 22, 2015 Report Share Posted May 22, 2015 Speaking of gym attire, I've definitely run into the issue of wanting gym clothes, gear and equipment more than I want everyday wears. Since I grew thighs, ditto. I can't be doing with the skinny jean/straight jean (which are skinny up top)/loose jean (still skinny up top) business anymore. I just want to wear gym pants. warrior : level 8 str: 20.75 | dex: 13.75 | sta: 11.75 | con: 9.75 | wis: 8.25 | cha: 4.75 ''Difficult' and 'impossible' are cousins often mistaken for one another, with very little in common' - Locke Lamora Link to comment

Promod slim jeans are fantastic for my quads, actually. Perhaps it's just that the stereotypical British woman is pear-shaped with big thighs, I've never had an issue finding skinny jeans to fit.

Tanuki Posted May 22, 2015 Report Share Posted May 22, 2015 I think it's more the knee/calf area, but overall it makes me feel quite tight and compressed. That said, I'm lugging 10lb of extra weight from when I bought the jeans, so I think I need to finish this cut and then reassess my 'I don't like skinnies anymore' position I've won a couple of straight-leg ones on Ebay, which should keep my complaints at a minimum until Autumn, when I can't get them in my boots. They're also 4 inches too long, so I look like a 00 sk8ter kid. All I'm saying, once you try the reeboks, you never go back. Oh, you. I've been ogling those online and now with a recommendation I'll never be able to resist. warrior : level 8 str: 20.75 | dex: 13.75 | sta: 11.75 | con: 9.75 | wis: 8.25 | cha: 4.75 ''Difficult' and 'impossible' are cousins often mistaken for one another, with very little in common' - Locke Lamora Link to comment
Cat in the rack Posted May 22, 2015 Report Share Posted May 22, 2015 My genetics give me naturally pretty big legs, even when I was 120 lbs my legs were still pretty big.I mean, I'm a guy, so it's probably not ideal.

But hey, at least I never have to worry about being accused of skipping leg day. Big legs are not always a good thing as a man. At school (i'm talking high school), when my hormones kicked in, my thighs maxed out at 34" (may have been 32", hazy). This was 1995 as i remember the rugby world cup being on and there was a piece in the newspaper about this monster Jonah Lomu. They had all his stats, so to see how impressively built he was i obviously compared him to my 14yr old self. I had bigger thighs. Oh, and he's 7" taller than me too.I had real troubles buying school uniform trousers. I didn't even fit into football shorts.I had 2 thighs each of which were the same size as my waist. Themz problems. Current challenge: http://rebellion.nerdfitness.com/index.php?/topic/70839-bendy-dradis-stands-up-proper/ Link to comment

Cat in the rack Posted May 23, 2015 Report Share Posted May 23, 2015 A few things of note happened in the gym today so I'll just put them in chronological order.Saw someone doing floor presses, a perfectly useful exercise, but the guy had no control over the lowering portion of the movement. Every time he lowered the bar his elbows slammed into the floor. I cringed a little every time because of how painful it looked, but I didn't want to look away in case he needed somebody to lift the bar off his chest. Thankfully he was okay, in the short term at least.A guy came in who was pretty fat, and I just mean that in a descriptive way, he had a big gut and a double-chin. He lifted around the same weight as me, which made me question his goals. Personally I can't understand just aiming for strength, though I know for some people the amount of weight being pushed is all that matters, I don't know if he's been bulking poorly or if he just doesn't care. Again, not judging, I get some people want to just be as strong as possible, I just find it to be an odd mentality. But of course to each their own.A group of guys came in doing deadlifts with a barbell, shrugs with one of those hexagonal barbells, and seated shoulder press. They set up the bench in the rack opposite mine, then the shrugs they did about an inch away from that bench, then the deadlifts they did on the same platform about an inch away from the shrugs. There was three of them, so all three exercises would be done at the same time and then they'd switch. All of this taking place on a single crowded platform.Then coming out of the gym I took my headphones off but kept them playing music around my neck, as I like to walk back home with the music playing. I step out of the gym and see some sort of school sports event is taking place, tons of kids everywhere. I then realise that at this moment the song Blurred Lines is playing pretty loudly. Needless to say I skipped to the next song immediately. Follow me on snapchat or instagram @ catintherackSquat: 115kgBench: 77.5kgDeadlift: 130kgTotal: 322.5kgWeight: 68kg Link to comment

SpecialSundae Posted May 23, 2015 Report Share Posted May 23, 2015 I had an entertaining morning in the gym. A few incidents of note:A guy standing on some the seat of a sort of fixed lat pulldown machine to do some sort of push down. A group of teenage guys doing 50kg curl kinda things on the bench whilst shouting at their mate lying down on the actual bench "It's all you!" "Just one more!" "Pause this one... five... six... press" Another teenaged douchebag barging past the end of my bar to grab a 5kg plate just as I un-racked to squat (he didn't know that 90kg was a light weight for me, I'm a small-ish girl FFS) then using it to do curl-hip-thrusts in front of the mirror whilst scowling at me (I yelled at him when he barged past and scowled back). A guy doing high-ish rep squats with 190kg on the bar with such power at the top of the ROM that the plates clanged together (this one was more impressive/entertaining than the WTF above).Admittedly, still feel silly doing high box squats but they're easy and fun and I managed a bit of a PB on deadlifts (90kg for four sets of six beltless with good form and no pain) so I don't care. 3 Link to comment

I've been fat myself and at the time I definitely didn't care.Oh, another thing I saw today, one guy was doing seated lat raises but with terrible ROM and too heavy a weight, so the guy he was with decided to push his arms up and down on every rep. Thought it was weird. Follow me on snapchat or instagram @ catintherackSquat: 115kgBench: 77.5kgDeadlift: 130kgTotal: 322.5kgWeight: 68kg Link to comment

As Insanity says, he could have been fatter and have lost weight, he could just not care, he could genuinely be happy at that weight. Not everyone has the same ideals. There's a whole fetish scene dedicated to big, fat, hairy guys. 2 Link to comment
Cat in the rack Posted May 23, 2015 Report Share Posted May 23, 2015 Yeah true, if he's losing weight then good on him, if he doesn't want to lose weight then, ya know, still good on him I guess.
