Jeans for fit people
I lift. I lift a lot and I lift heavy things. I can squat more than I weigh and press 450 pounds. I have glutes and I have thighs. I also have a sense of fashion. But I've concluded that there are not jeans that fit my body. Anyone have any brands or tips to find pants that might fit?

Some very amazing people are able to limit themselves to just one or two. I, on the other hand, am not. I would still like to lose weight during this season, especially seeing…
