big thighs - myth or reality?

[RoadRaven]

This thread is SUCH a relief!
I thought I was some kind've freak, because there have been so many comments about massive thighs, power muscles, thunder thighs...

I knew I was getting muscle definition (something I have never had in my life in my legs apart from those calf muscles from high heels!)...but MY thighs weren't getting huge... not the way TE gals were describing theirs...

THEN... phew!!! I see these pix and it such a relief. Thunder thighs are just stunning toned legs... the way mine are trying to look.

Thank you those who have posted pix. My thighs no longer feel inferior

I don't mind when my thighs get big - as long as it's muscle. The only downside is that it can be hard to find long pants that properly fit when you have big thighs and a smallish waist - unless you want the pants to look baggy.

However, because i am a road cyclist and more endurance, my thighs don't get as big as some girls. Check out any track sprinter - they get really big thighs, but for them its an asset - they wouldn't have their great sprinting abilities without them.

Brandi, you have very nice legs, too!

I have scrawny little birdie legs that just get harder, not bigger. And I have upper thigh saddlebags that don't go away even when the waist/butt ones do. (it's genetic, so I've given up hope. but when the crops fail and food is scarce I WILL SURVIVE ON MY STORED FAT mooh he hee.)

What biking does seem to give me is nice abs and calves. Hence the proclivity for capris and biking skorts...

OMG...this post kills me! I've been revelling in all the ladies here who have 'big thighs' and then I see the pics of Bluetree and Brandi...

Those are NOT big thighs. Those are strong legs, ladies!! I would LOVE to have your thighs!!

These are big thighs:


These were both taken last summer (on the same day).

When I was at my slimmest a few years ago, my waist was only 4" bigger than my thighs. I used to HATE my legs. As I approach 40, I'm learning to appreciate their good qualities...but finding pants will always SUCK.
