How big are your legs ?

[blackbeard]

im not sure thats the right spot to measure for quad size?
i was looking at J cutlers video from 2001 back when you had that crazy quad sweep going and they list his quads at 30 inches???? not calling anyone a liar here but i dont think thats where you measure them? in fact im not even sure where you should take a measurement

well, quad sweep is mid-thigh I'd say ?

Don't have moch time right now. Looked it up briefly and coudn't find much. If any one is in the know, do enlighten us.

well then, none of that wide stance stuff for me. At my height its tough to get over 30 (at mid thigh), but I'm getting there. At the top, I'm just over 30".

32 is respectable bro, though from your squat poundages and ATF form, you're prob bigger.


BTW,how's the urinary incontinence (dripping dick) and all the perks that go with that enlarged mother ? Still gettin it up ?

as far as the wide stance its purley for power. its not for size. there is no need for average gym rats to squat like that.

measurements dont interset me. i dont have a prob with others doing it its just not what i base anything on, esp self esteem, ego or the likes. I lift because i like to lift. its thearpy and i just happened to have good genetics in this area.

as far as mr. prostate goes everything is fine young man. pee splashes everywhere when i pee. sex life is better now than when i was your age. but if you need proof drop um, bend over and ill give you tour. =0)

PB-
do you not recommend wide stance for bb'ing?
what if one were switching over to a pure Pl routine?
i understand a closer stance will hit the quads more and wider is more glutes/hips..just curious what you menat by "gymrat" lol

the ultra wide stance used by voguelpohl and others is strictly for power. it shortens the stroke and places the load elsewhere. for BBers or folks looking to build massive legs i beleive a medium stance is the key. you get the strong set up of a wider stance but still place a lot of empahsis on the quads, glutes and hams. feet probably a foot wider than shoulder width. (6" each side)

gymrat: anyone who goes to the gym that is not training/competing in a strength sport.

found that in meriam websters. =0)

Here's how Inzer measure for their knee sleeves. Its not BB measure so NOT what we're looking for exactly, but it gives us a context for size. Tells us how we can rate ourselves (L, XL, etc)

KNEE SLEEVES XT
Measure around your lower thigh. The lower thigh should be measured 3” up from the middle of your knee joint. Make sure your thigh is relaxed (not flexed) for this measurement.

Lower thigh – Size

13” – 15” – Small
15” – 17” – Medium
17” – 19” – Large
19” – 21” – XL
21” – 23” – XXL
23” – 25” – XXXL
25” – 27” – XXXXL

i have a pair of those sleeves..theyre great..that measurement is just below your outer thigh and goes around your vastus so it wouldnt take into account the meatiest part of your legs..

PLers measure at the very top, relaxed and cold, for squats suits and sometimes half way down for the bottom part of the pant leg for denim or canvas suits.

hit a pr on 90 degree vertical hack squats today. 12 plates and 4 quarters for a set of 17. I was going for 20 and would have had it but nature called and i blew my goceries all over the bushes outside. that was my entire leg workouty too. 1 set of 17. my po po legs is throbbin now. I have gone heavier on this machine but not for high reps. guess ill be hurting the next couple of days. i like it, a lot!! I was gonna squat today but my lower back was still tight from sldl on wednesday. i really like that 90 degree hack. very similar to a squat motion but the back is supported. and you can go deep as hell too.

when guys like cutler list their stats, those are contest stats, which are nothing like normal as you will lose 2-4" easily getting down to contest shape. Mine look a lot bigger than they are thanks to my little girl frame, in this pic they are somewhere between 27-28"

where the hell have you been? i was waiting for you to show up lol..

besides we all have different goals here... BB'ing is illusion if your 28 inch legs look better than someone with 30 inch legs..than who cares what the tape says..
