Hey guys. Brief background: powerlifting saved my life. I had an eating disorder about two years ago and since taking up heavy lifting and eating organic, I have recovered and feel stronger than ever.
Yes, I understand that at 90lbs and a size 00, I was a TWIG. But before my eating disorder, I wasn't that small, but never huge. My legs are bigger than ever now though, after powerlifting.
Granted, they are muscular. But as a 16 year old girl at 5' 5.5", whos mother still thinks I am going to turn into a man from going to the gym, she is freaking out because I have to get all new pants. Nothing fits!
I'm not a bodybuilder, I don't take supplements, and I eat very healthy. I train daily, lift 4-5x a week, and do HIIT/ met con 2-3x. Whats up?

Just get tights, yoga pants, dresses, and shorts. I gave up on jeans a long time ago.

You'll grow a lot initially, and then it slows down. I've been the same size for years, just slowly leaning out.

They won't keep growing forever. I was actually going to start a similar thread...finding jeans that aren't hammer pants is getting increasingly challenging.

I guess this company makes jeans for men and women. "Athletic" men and woman looking for a better fitting pair of jeans for the reasons that you mentioned.

After seeing a hard workout you may want to complain and want others to pity you for the work you have to do. Your mom will pity you. Your girl will pity you. I may pity you, but your competition will not pity you. They will step on you, walk over you and spit on you. � Boris Sheiko

Why do guys stop caring how they look once they're in a relationship? It's false advertising.Originally Posted by NorthStrong

Well...it's not just the guys that do that lol. But it was pretty much a change from jeans every day to sweatpants most days. Everybody is a false advertiser on multiple levels. /endthreadderailOriginally Posted by LadyLore420

Being a male is a matter of birth. However, being a "man" is a matter of choice.

No h8 but I really don't understand the problem or point of this thread. You lift weights, you grow. You powerlift, you squat a lot. You squat a lot, your legs grow a lot.
It ain't rocket science.

Lol I don't fit in my pants any more either. I just wear basketball shorts. In order to fit into pants I need a size or two bigger + a belt
