Quad size?

[BronzedGoddess]

Everyone has 28" thighs but me........... i'll be happy once they are 24" @12% body fat.

I thought that quad measurements were taken at about mid-thigh. I think I like this new method. Let's see here. Ooooh! I've got 28. I like this new measurement method!

Wait! I messed up. Actually you're supposed to measure them right above the ankle.

Yeah, but everyone else also has male genitalia. Grizzly, as I recall is 6'3" and 265. And I'm 5'11" and 215. It's hardly fair to compare yourself to us given the size difference(I'm assuming here.) Besides do you really want 28" thighs? That'd be huge for a woman.

Damn it and damn you for playing with my feelings! Now I've only got 9 1/2" quads. Long way to go until I get Arnold sized.

BTW- I like the new quote. That's one of my favorite passages from the book. Long live the Overman! Oh yeah, and it's still "spake" and not "spoke."

You really like trying to get me riled up don't you?

Re: Pretty strange.......

When I used to care about these things.....I used to measure about halfway down my thigh. If you measure too high you can end up adding some because there isnt a clear line where your ass stops and your leg begins (did that make sense).....so anyway I thought I was kidding myself when I did it this way.

When I did it my way.....I would be at 27-28 depending upon how many carbs I had been eating lately. But being 6'2", these are definitely chicken legs

I'm not sure what I have now......havent measured in a good 2 years.

Thanks guys for your replies. Its funny that guys are so quick to offer their chest and arm workouts and stats but when it comes to legs and squats they all run for cover. Tisk tisk.........

28" is a bit large since I'm only 5'7. I really only want 24" at mid thigh. Like I said before thats 1.5 inches more than what I have now. When I tell people I want bigger legs they're totally surprised because all the non-lifters think my legs are huge and because my legs are bigger than most guys around here (how unattractive). I'm going to work on my hamstrings. I never really gave them the attention that they deserved. I'm sure I can get some size outta them

Thanks for the reassurance B&I

well from 9 1/2 inch yes you do have a long way to arnold....... but actually to make all of the people who have posted their 28 inch measurement......... would be the same as arnold...... his biggest measurement is 28.5 in at 6'1.5

GOD blessed my legs....... they grow easily........ so i never really trained them hard......... and the were at like 27inch......... over the past year i have started busting my butt and they now measure 31 inches....... at a height of 5'11

anywhere you measure should be repeatable. depending on your height, 8 or 10 inches down from the inguinal fold (bend in your hip) would be repeatable provided you measure from the same spot in the fold.
