Squatting 600

[Illuminati]

You damn Metrosexuals. Its all your fault. You deserve to be shot. I go to do my least favorite thing in the world, buy some new clothes, already knowing what my size is so that all I have to do is walk in, see something I like, pick it up, and pay for it. I absolutely despise having to shop. I hate it with a passion. And for some reason, I decide to listen to my girl and try on the pants that I want to get before buying them.
So I grap my size, 34x32 (my waiste is only a 33) and go into the changing room. Take off my pants, and go to put on the ones that I liked. I pull the jeans up, and the fuckers won't come up over my thighs.

"fuck" she hears me mumble from inside the changing room.

"Whats wrong baby?" she asks as she throws three pairs of jeans on top of the changing room door for me to try on.

Not wanting to admit anything, I tell her that they dont fit.

"Let me see."

"No. I feel like a damn cowboy." I throw them back over the top of the changing room door. Finally on the third pair, I give in. I somehow manage to pull the size 34x32 jeans over my thighs, and get them on. "There, are you happy, I told you that they don't fit." She starts laughing at me.

As I get to my 10th pair of jeans, she's still laughing at me. By this time, completely irritated, not only because I have spent 30 minutes trying on jeans, but also b/c its feeding time, and I'm not a nice person when I'm hungry.

So to make this story short, I end up getting a size 36x32. Not because I have a size 36 waiste, but b/c that is the size it takes for me to them up over my thighs. Fuckin god damn skinny ass, nut hugging wearing metrosexuals. You people need to put on some weight. Better yet, the "fashion industry" needs to recognize that the skinny ass metrosexual look is not where its at.

Sorry for the rant and rave. But I'm sure that there are some of you out there that feel my pain. Maybe its just that I need to get over my Bigorexia, and realize that I'm big. Maybe I need to realize that its not normal to look at a size XL, and think that the shirt is small b/c its not baggy on me.

Fuck if I know. I'll just keep working out. Might try to squat 600+ on sunday. Found a gym up in Seattle, thanks to Jimi Ouini. Its owned by a guy named Bull Stewart. He played for the Falcons in the early 80's. They have a PL team with 35 people. Walked into his gym the other day. Talked with him for a while, and he told me that he "needed to recruit me to be on his PL team." And then invited me to work out with him on Sunday at the gym, on a day when the gym is closed.

I am seriously laughing out loud.

I can't stand the metrosexual BS phase fasion has gone latley. It sounds like you need to get some of the old school hip hop extra wide legged jeans and they should fit just fine.

That's pretty cool.

Hate shopping too Illum - I used ot have very similar stories but since I stopped shopping 3 years ago and the Mrs. picks up my clothes, the only time of year I dread for shopping is Christmas.

600!!! Incredible especially considering you only have a 33 waist - I'm at least a 38 and only hit 405 for 1 - amazing.

It must have felt good to get some attention from a former NFL player - good luck Sunday!

 

[Tweakle]

I stopped shopping with my gf long ago because of this, designer shirts and pants have always been sized too small but even regular clothes are getting smaller to fit the stickboys. Todays Large is more like a Medium (which is ironic considering how much fatter people seem to be getting)

she'll pick out some shiny little shirt, telling me "look they have it in XL!" and within a couple of minutes I'll be yelling at her to come in the fitting room to pull it off my head.

how the really big boys shop for clothes is beyond me.

 

[eat big]

I'm in the same boat. I am a 34" waist and I wear 40" pants because I have a squatters ass and my thigs are big. It's mostly my ass.

to me, waist size is not the incrediable thing. its the fact that in March of last year I slipped my L5-S1, and I am going to make this attempt, let alone lift.

Its not that he's an NFL athlete that felt good, its the fact that he holds the WABDL record for bench press in the 242 class in Washington, and that he has totaled over 2200 in the 242's. The team has a few world record holders, and a lot of people with their Elite total. I think he said that they have a guy in the 198 class that benches around 550.

I'm really excited about the opportunity to join a team, and start competing. Fact is, I'm more nervous about training on sunday, then I was going for my job interview w/Intel.

diesel jeans...forget it. not for anyone with appreciable leg development, IMO.

I managed to find a pair of Lucky Jeans that had some stretch to them, got them tailored to right length and fit. only cost about 8 bucks to tailor them. I know it sounds ghey, but hell... if it makes them fit. the cool part about them is, they fit perfectly now, and with the stretch material, they don't bind. I can drop all the way ATF without restriction. tangent: sorry....but I feel your pain. I've felt your pain for years. stuck with excess sized waist pants just so you can pull em up over your legs. but now I know, wash and dry them first, take them to the cleaners and have them take in the waist. I even buy the length long so I can make it at the right length since my inseam isnt quite a 30 and not quite a 32. makes pants shopping much easier now.

 

[blut wump]

Make sure you look smart and wear your new pants.

Good luck with the lift. You'll smoke it.

I was on vacation in Barcelona a little while back, and I had a real hard time finding any shirts that fit my arms. In the U.S. I'm somewhere between a L and an XL, but in spain the arms were way too small on the XXL. And, I couldn't find any sizes bigger than that. My arms are decently big, but I certainly wouldn't say they're huge. It Sucked because dress shirts wer'e pretty cheap there.

Also, I've had the same problem with jeans pretty much my whole life. Even when I wrestled and had cut down in weight considerably; I still had to get extra baggy jeans that were a size too big.

feeding time

 

[carlsuen]

man.. and i thought i was the only one feeling the pain.. f*ck!! having to wear a pair of jeans 3 inches wider than your waist because of a squatters ass or huge thighs totally sux!!

now i might need to consider running more to shed of my ass.. which is the hardest part!! besides the belly of course..

my turn to rant..

 

[perp69]

I hate shopping too. I like go get what I am going for and get the hell out. I get the jeans with a loose or relaxed fit. If you try those and they don't fit, damn you are screwed when it comes to jeans. Not that I have that problem as of yet but I just where shorts most the time.

That's pretty cool.

illuminati's rant is funny yet true... i'm roughly the same height and a little lighter then illuminati (although with a 36" waist). i struggle to get even goddamn shorts that will get around my thighs, forget jeans... i've split 4 of my jeans in the last 6 months and 1 track pant. i have had to look like a slob wearing loose pants.
AAAAAAAAARRRRRRRRRGGGGGGGGGGGGGGHHHHHHHHH!!!!!!! FUCK YOU, YOU SCRAWNY MODEL BASTARDS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!


PS: i don't squat 600 though

 

[blut wump]

lol.

I had a pair of tattered jeans last summer that I turned into cutoffs since the knees were going. They'd always been a bit tight but the first time I squatted down to pick something up the denim just let go. Thighs and hamstrings are probably the main things that set us aside other than traps.

oh no, they don't tear around the thighs. if i can squeeze my thighs into them, then i just have to bend and the stress is transfered right to the crotch. the crotch is also a weak point coz of the stitching and it just gives way...

 

[nelmsjer]

I'm still getting into my waist size of 32, but the only jeans I can wear now are the Levi's Baggy fit. Every other style refuses to go past the thighs...just like you said.

Shopping + no food = BAAAD combo.

 

[Chambewy20]

It has many names, Monkey Butt, Baboon's Ass or Shelf Ass...

A.E., Hollister or any place that sell pink shirts for guys should be off limits to powerlifters... a 2X there won't fit my ass, makes me feel fat...

 

[super_rice]

i have a 29" waist, and wear 34-36.

try finding a good pair of boxer briefs.

 

[TheOak84]

ya i hate being hungry

 

[overcome73]

Thats one of the downfalls of getting big. I absolutely hate wearing jeans anymore and boxer briefs ride all the way up my legs.

Our Society is obsessed with the skinny, I have not eaten in a few days model build. a little muscle is considered freaky.

 

[SgtSlaughter]

LMFAO!!!!

This thread kicks ass, I have to bump it

Thanks CS

A quote comes to mind, I'm not sure of the author though:

"Why do you try so hard to fit in when you were born to stand out?"

... I love that quote.

 

[blut wump]

Damn, I'd forgotten about losing another pair of cut-off jeans / shorts last year too.

 

[tay1506]

I also feel your pain.......
Boxers are the worst too find, the waist isen't the problem it is the leg part. It always rips so i just started cutting most of them a little so they will fit comfortably. As for jeans, can't wear them without being gangsterish looking. I however also am not near that strong.
