in Health and Weight Loss
Just a silly question but my wife tells me I have the smallest legs of anyone she knows. She measured my thigh and calf for a comparison, just curious what other people's measurements were. The top of my legs are 18.5 and calves are 12.5

    Circumference? All the way around your thigh is 18.5? Mine is 26.5. Calves are 16.

    I do carry more weight on my lower body though. If my brother was home I'd ask home to measure, because he had chicken legs for a long time.

    Circumference is 18.5 we actually have a small bet going on, she doesn't think anyone else will be smaller

    Thighs still have some room for improvement, but my calves are solid muscle:bigsmile:

    More men than women will have smaller legs, since excess weight for men tend to concentrate in their midsection, whereas females hold their weight more in their thighs and hips, (childbearing FTW?)

    I see a lot of guys at school having stick thin legs that are probably no more than 14" or 15" for their thighs, just the way everyone is built.

    Mine are currently 19" for thighs and 13" for calves, they look quite big still since I'm short, but luckily I still have some more to lose ;3.

    Your thigh/calf ratio is small. Your thighs are super slim! Mine are 20.1, and my calves are 13.7.

    It's pretty obvious by the numbers we're talking inches here.

    These measurements are making me feel good. I thought my thighs were much larger than the average woman. They're 20.5" and my calves are 14". Sweet! I'm normal(ish)! lol Anyway... your legs sound thin but not ridiculously thin :)

    I still have big thighs from humping those 70 pound packs in the Army. I love to go hiking with a pack still.

    30" thighs, 22" calves - all solid:

    Well earned from kung fu, highland games, and the last three months of powerlifting.

    EDIT: Fixed picture - Photobucket's acting up on me.

    Don't compare yourself to women. Almost all women naturally have bigger thighs because they have to be able to carry our wide hips particularly at pregnancy.

    I would stop comparing yourself to other people. If YOU want bigger legs- HIT THE GYM! :flowerforyou:

    Squats, deadlifts and lunges, and maybe some calf raises will be your leg-salvation!
