I've achieved my "big thigh" goal!

[Accy cyclist]

For years i've wanted big(ish)thighs to reflect my cycling efforts. I've always found it hard to put on weight and muscle but today i did my hands round thighs test and....the fingers and thumbs couldn't touch each other,meaning my thighs have gained in size to 21 inches!!

Though it could be that handlebar vibrations have shrunk your hands

It makes it difficult to buy jeans that fit properly.

Nice one. I havent been able to do that since I was about 9.

I've lost 35 pounds in weight and I haven't been able to do much cycling in the last year, but my thumbs are still 5 inches apart round my thighs! (24 inches circumference.)

I naturally have pretty big calf muscles, but my left one has swollen up due to the DVT that I had last year and is now 2 inches bigger than the right one! (17 inches vs 15 inches.)

I think if this is the only definition of big thighs, we need a new definition.

There's big thighs and then........THERE'S BIG THIGHS.

I think my thighs are about 0.0003 Furstmanns.

It's the back of the thigh, not the sides that have expanded. Could this be down to my low cadence?

Avoid worrying about it.

I don't like to worry you, but I checked the thigh-size of my tall, slim non-cyclist ex and hers were 21 inches without even trying!

Don't get fat!

You are quite right to worry though. After all, if you got too fit you might end up end up like these poor young women with their HUGE legs ...

There's big thighs and then........THERE'S BIG THIGHS.
