Due to Zak being a tad strong whilst out xc or hunting (lol) I now have muscles in my arms that are the equivalent to a mans!!And also i have big thighs, which (so im told) are rock hard!!Does anyone else suffer from this???!!!!!
 
I put my muscles down to mucking out and lugging bales of hay around.

Yes, unfortunately. i like my biceps and triceps, much better than bingo wings at my age, but the meaty thews bit i could really do without. trouble is, once those muscles have gotten that big, can you ever get rid of them? i want lovely long skinny thighs again! *sulks*
 
Yup, got big strong thighs!

But Ive got alot of mucle on my shoulders at the bottom of my neck, which I dont like. My arms are nicely toned and tummy is pretty firm aswell. All from riding.
When I stopped riding for a bit I was a right blimp!

Yes Kerilli - I can see from your sig that your thighs are just HUGE!!!

I've got bigger biceps than my OH and he refuses to arm wrestle to see whos strongest
smirk.gif
I've also got massive muscles in my hands - between my little finger and wrist it bulges out!

Not at the moment unfortunatly but when I was riding on a regular basis then everything was nice and firm and stronger than normal. Cannot wait till I get another horse so I can go back to being fitter with legs of steel

Oh god, you've made me self-conscious about the little-finger-to-wrist muscles now, i'd never noticed them before!
if i'm wearing tight jeans, the backs of my thighs bulge backwards, rather than running down in a line, if you know what i mean. horrible.
the good thing is that with all this dressage, i have a stomach like a washboard.

almost makes up for the other bits...

if i tried arm-wrestling my OH he'd break my arm, no question. so i can still kid myself that i'm a delicate little flower really...
 
Thank god for all of you. I'm only little but have the strongest arms with big muscles - when I am pale and interesting in the winter they look revolting!! I have been worrying about what to wear to the hunt ball not wanting to show my arms BUT I've decided to brave it wearing a strapless long dress (to hide the muscly legs) and have a pashmina wrapped around the He-Man/She Ra muscles!! Roll on summer where I can have a tan and they don't look so bad!!!
 
I've got big legs
frown.gif
but despite my horse being strong, my arms never get any stronger!! My arms are quite scrawny and my shoulders are even worse!! Quite pathetic really - there's no wonder I can't stop!

As for the legs though, I got very, very slim in my late teens, the rest of me was skin and bone but I STILL had really chunky thighs!!

I'm never going to have VB legs - thats for sure!
 
''I'm only little but have the strongest arms with big muscles - when I am pale and interesting in the winter they look revolting!! ''

YES!!exactly like me!!Yeh when they are brown its ok, mind you its always helpful to be strong when you have 3 older brothers who like to 'play fight'!!I winded my oldest brother the other day by accidentally punching him too hard!!
 
Ha! At least you've got a big strong OH! Mine is pretty skinny really so I never get to feel like a dainty flower - I feel more like an elephant next to him! I'd be too worried about arm wrestling in case I hurt him
wink.gif
(He'd kill me if I said that to him *chuckle*)

And muscley thighs are WAY better than wobbly ones
smile.gif
 
My thighs are HUMUNGOUS - totally out of proportion with the rest of my body which is fairly normal-shaped, and they sort of balloon out backwards like big cellulitey hams
frown.gif
My arms are a bit pasty and shapeless, but I do have weird huge muscles at the base of my neck and the top of my shoulder
blush.gif
 
Thanks god for this post, I thought it was just me!!

My arms are huge everyone my OH friend is a builder and he rekons that my arms are bigger than some of his brickies
 
so glad i am not alone.!!
smile.gif

i am quite short but have arm muscles like a fully grown man..!!! my thighs are solid but not too huge..
i always seem to look a bit like a female body builder (with a few more wobbly bits) when i have a vest/short sleeved top on.!!

Ha ha! It's so funny that you posted this cos everyone at work has just been laughing at me! We have a drinks dispenser but the cup bit has broken so the cups drop way down the hole - none of the guys could get to the cups cos their hands are too big so I stuck my ickle hands in but could only reach the top few...not cos my hands are big but cos my forearms are too big to reach any further!!!!!!!!!

Also when I went for my gym assessment my body fat could do with reducing slightly but my lean mass is excellent! The gym instructor also stuck 50kg on the leg press straight away cos of my thunder thighs! My female pals were all started on 30kg and have gradually progressed!

I too have hulk, legs, its made worse by the fact that my lower leg is so skinny, my calf muscles realy stand out too - not very attractive - rather reminiscent of chicken drumsticks - no sign of bingo wings thank goodness
 
I miss my thighs!!!! I havent ridden for a year and never really thought about the shape I was in was thro riding...but having not ridden now my legs have gone to jelly!!! Mucking out does my upper body but my legs...wibbly wobbly...am having to do alternative stuff to try and get them back in to shape which is difficult when being a non-fitness person ie. lazy!!!!
