Leg Size

[mlong23]

Looking to keep my current leg size or maybe even drop an inch on them (probably the exact opposite of everyone else). My problem is that I don't like walking around with a spandex feeling everyday. I work in a business environment that is always about looking the best, so it just looks funny with the pants tight.

Right now, the legs are at about 28 inches, as I have been slacking off on them for the past few weeks. I am thinking that if I train legs every other week (avoiding heavy squats) this should help to keep some decent size to them, but will help in not having them grow to much. Probably do some cardio on the week that I don't lift legs.

Any suggestions. I would love to lift legs hard and heavy and get them bigger, but when they get any bigger than this it is a real bitch to wear jeans and even look good in a pair of pants. Tailoring is too expensive, unless anyone knows of a good place.

Why don’t you just have your pants made for you by a tailor.

1. Big legs do look the best!
2. They should pay you more if they want you lookin your best bro.

I just end up buying my pants about 4 inches too big around the waist and have them either tailored or wear a belt.

whats your bodyfat %

Holding some water now, but I can still some definition. Don't know the accurate number. My legs still have some minor splits between the quads.

Don't get me wrong I love having bigger legs, as they are now a little smaller than what they were before, but it just comes down to wasting money on pants to get them tailored. I will probably never compete, so I am finding it hard to keep justifing to myself to continue to push my legs. At 5'11 and 245, I think I have a decent size, and could probably do a local show and win or almost win. But there is no way that I would injest the amount of steroids needed to win a national level event.

Curious as to how much that costs?

It is not expensive at all, the asian tailor around the corner does them for like $25, you should be able to find similar in your area, bust out the phone book

$25 to tailor a pair of pants from scratch or to make adjustments.

Hit the Korean places..(if you have them in your area)..they will tailor a pants for $10...and they do a damn good job.

Buy them big in the waist like maldorf said...your local cleaners will be able to tailor them for you, and the cost shouldn't be over $20...

My Mom is 62 years old and still tailors my pants everytime I need them fixed...I usually take several pair and just tell her to take her time...But she always has them done the next day.
BTW, it is free! LOL

I love the feeling of haveing to have my clothing tailored. By the way it is pretty cheap when you buy your suit. I think the last time I had it done it was under 15 bucks. Well worth it by the way
