At 29" cold right now and it took me just over a year. They look pretty big on my frame so I'd imagine they'd look hooooge on a 5'9" frame.

got up to 29.75" after a full year of leg workouts twice a week. Realised how slow I got though and how hard it was to get proper fitting pants was a huge issue.
very high reps, heavy weight and all compounds movements. I was strong as **** downstairs but they looked horrible on me, and my pants looked like they would fit
fat bastard from Austin powers.

I was at 30" when I was 215 and a fat fark [15-18% bf] -- that was genetics + lifting for 1 yr or so. Now they're like 23.5-24" cold at 10-12% BF, but I don't train them anymore but maybe once a month?

10-07-2013, 05:41 PM #16hahaha im mostly just curious. I'm 15 years old right now turning 16 and I'm planning to lift for the rest of my life (srs). Just want to know if I keep at it what should be my short term goals (by end of next year, by end of high school, college, etc.)Originally Posted by Xuaxace
there isn't a way to predict what my genetics are like but if I lift for the next decade I'll probably get 30 inch quads one day? Just a thought. I'm day dreaming hahahaha posted this on my phone during class
i dont want to jinx it for myself, but unless I get into some car accident or something i dont see why i would quit training anytime in the next 10 years.

Sorry not trying to look like a dumbazz 15 year old. I'm trying to learn here! So from what I'm getting from you guys, 30 inches is pretty impossible lean? Is this like a genetic thing? Referencing my earlier post, would say training for an entire decade get you there? educational curiosity checking in here lol

lol having 30 inch quads is like having 3 waists. How the hell do you guys buy pants that fit when your quad is as big as the waist measurement.

ur quads aren't 29inches or 29.5inches. Now instead of emailing me back, insulting me and whining, why don't u take a pic of ur quads with a tape measure around them and silence me.Originally Posted by Meadey
Ur also not 15 percent now. Not even close. I can see ur gut hanging over ur boxers in ur avi bro.
