thigh size

MelStren

I'm 5'1" and I have nearly 24" thighs at 22% body fat.

I'm sure there is probably a calculator out there somewhere that can tell you how big your thigh circumference should be based on the distance between your nose and chin.

I'm 5'6", 25" thighs, 33.3% body fat. Not that I'm currently tracking my thigh measurements... they were 24.5" when I was 176 lb. Mine are getting smaller based on the need to buy smaller Under Armour underwear due to thighs rather than waist.

When I was working my legs a few years back I did dumbbell squats, dumbbell lunges, and stepping on and off my weight bench with dumbbells in my hands (ETA: and calf raises).

Is squatting the best exercise to build size?

Yes. I started with little 17" chicken legs. I PR'd on 265lbs the other day for 2 reps. I've added 1.5" on my thighs while losing weight from squats. Dead lifts are also good.

yes all the compound lifts are the best for adding size.

I'm curious what other peoples thigh circumference is. I have been a runner since I was 14 , now 38 and have always been told I have small thighs. I measured them the other day when my wife said I should chart my progress and the biggest part measured 17.5". That looks small on my 6'5" frame. So I'm just curious what the average is.

17.5" is crazy. My calves measure the same as that. How big are your calves?
