more than a 220 lb guy squatting 700+? <shrug> There was a guy at my gym that would load up the squat bar with so much weight it'd bend at like a 10+ degree angle on each side. He used like 3 of the 100 lb plates that you used on the leg press on each side, plus a couple 45s. I think he was probably 230 at the most (didn't look that big, but you never know I guess) but I would say he was repping 700-750 at least.

Not me theres guys in the NFL offensive linemen can squat over 1000 lbs and bench over 600 lbs. These are full grown men.

Yeah, some Samoan offensive lineman from the Seahawks supposedly did 100+ strength reps before... that's ridiculous.

There was a guy at my gym, huge guy, looked like he played lineman when he was younger, who was curling 2 plates like it was just the bar... ridiculous.

As a point of reference, here is a guy, namely Mariusz Pudzianowski, who has similar leg and waist stats and is a bodybuilder.

Stats: 37" waist, 31" thigh, 22" biceps, 286lbs, 5' 11", 57" chest

And no it won't hang down from the crack of your ass. Not all urban clothing is like that.

Umm, back on topic... Earnest Sewn has some wider thighed jeans and their waist sizes go up to 40 I believe. Also, Rogan has some wider legged jeans, but those are mad expensive. Oh yeah, what is supposedly so good about Rogan denim anyway?

Big, the ALD model you should look for is the Royal. Its got 72 centimeter thighs in size 38 although I would recommend sizing up as they have slightly tight waists and have a low rise. I've just measured the thighs on the Sugarcane 1945B (Lee repros) in size 38 and they're 72 centimeters at the widest point. The Cane 1947 (levis repros) in 38 have 76 cent. thighs so this might be an even better idea.
Hope this helps.

btw -> 72 centimeters < 30 inches. 72 centimeters is like 28 and 1/3 inches. that's gonna be tight.

big probably wants something greater than 30 inches, unless he likes the sprayed on denim look.

Hey big,
I've got similar stats to yours and have major issues finding jeans that fit me well. I was wondering if you've found some jeans that do fit you since you posted this topic?
