Legs, waist and trousers | Thread profile

Hi, I've got a big problem with legs and waist here. You see, every time I want to buy trousers... I just can't find any that fit me properly. Say I grab some jeans and they fit my legs perfectly.

Yeah, I know, but I'm not talking about model ****. It's just that the standard cut is not bodybuilder-ready, not just with the latest fashion trousers, but even with good old classic cut jeans....

Distance running may help, but it sounds like you are fighting genetics which is never going to be very successful. The running will impact your upper body progress don't forget. (in reply to jeaver )
