those stringy things behind your knees.......

[outofshape111]

hey,

you know those stringy things you can feel on both sides of your knees, on the back part of the knee?

what are these things exactly? today i felt them in the shower for some reason and i noticed they had grown MUCH closer togeather..... they are only like a few inches a part now, and my whole life i always thought they were more like twice that, e.g. closer to the width of my leg.......

my legs seem to be getting shredded but i have this huge beer gut still, lol..... 2 months into eating clean / lifting... its weird, because my legs have gotten MUCH leaner, and my arms / shoulders have gotten more cut, and even my upper pecs..... but my gut looks like it hasnt changed a single inch, and i have been measuring it for like the past month, its still the same size im pretty sure... anyway, im rambling now, i know you cant spot reduce and i just have to be patient...

thanks for any help

Those are tendons. They connect muscle to bone.
