    I too have awesome monster legs. When I was a lot younger I could leg press a little over 535 lbs. That was a full set with two people sitting on each side of the incline leg press.

    Now, that I am a little older my strength has gone down some only leg press 400.

    Besides, my legs are what got me my husband! ...and my family doctor thinks that they are gorgeous too. (Uuuuummm is he suppose to notice my legs like that or is it just creepy?)


    I use to hate certain things about my body like the fact that I was able to build incredible amounts of muscle. I wanted to be skinny like all my other friends. The guys always seemed to look at the skinny ones and passed me by because I was strong and built. It seemed that highschool boy with a face full of pimples didn't want to hook up with the girl who could kick his a$$.

    Now I am older and as I watch my mother get heavier, sicker, and weaker every year I am darn glad I am who I was made to be! I would change my monster legs and corn feed body for anything!

    I must say I almost passed up this thread ... but geesh, I'm so in with the monster legs. LOL I've always felt I'm the only one with thigh problems, thanks for letting me know I'm not.

    Last year and half I've dropped 45lbs. At different levels of weight loss, my legs looked "huger" and even now the bulk of my weight is in my thighs, calves and even the freakin' saddle bags. I think after 53 years I've made peace with the fact that I will never have thin-ner legs that will won't rub together at the crotch, I just want to be healthy and strong. I'm OK with the sissy "tone" term and do hope my legs shape up a bit more now that I'm biking. The spandex shorts are still a bit out of my comfort zone, but I'm keep telling myself "it's not a fashion show, just ride".

    Knotted, I checked the gusset jeans website ... how's the fit? When I buy jeans to fit my saddle bags and thighs, the waist is so huge and even with a belt gaps and looks pathetically gappy.

    It is a beautiful thing.

    Brings tears of joy to my eyes.... NO GAPPING!!!!!

    I'm built like a Botacelli (sp) with giganto booty and little waist. So I have a terrible time finding anything that fits both my waist and my loveliness. I wrote a review of these jeans somewhere on the "Apparel" thread. Lemme go find it.

    Great review, I have bookmarked the website and sent for their email flyers. I'll just have to give them a try. I have always hated shopping for clothes, especially pants/jeans. Maybe this will help get me into something no longer frayed from wear at the inseam seam. Remember I got those dang rubbing thighs! LOL Thanks for the info.

    Me, too. And it doesn't matter how skinny or buff or chubby I get; they always rub.

    A bit of warning for the rubbing types out there: the gusset puts the seams in a different place in your "crotchal" area. My skin has some nice tough patches where average inseams encounter each other as I walk, but I had to develop new patches with the new jeans. Not a problem, but I was tender the first time my skin had the new forces to reckon with.
