Bodybuilding is not helping my wardrobe.

[Shane77]

Hey guys & girls,

I have a complaint. Since embarking on this underground lifestyle called "bodybuilding", my fashion sense has literally gone out of the window.
Here's the scenario. I'm 5'10", weigh in at 209 lbs. Bodyfat % 12 (yeah I know...I'm aiming for < 10 by Dec 2009...) and I really have a hassle finding clothes that fit me.
Normally I could wear a 34 inch pair of pants and have enough room around the waist. The problem is I can't get the pants up past my legs and ass. No doubt my quads and ass have gotten too big from all the squats I'm doing. Solution: bought 38 inch pants and then just choke it with a belt...still looks crap though.
Shirts, I'm stuck between XL & XXL. If I go XXL it fits perfectly on my chest, back & shoulders but it sits like a tent around my waist & the sleeves hang past my elbows.

Do I really need tailor-made clothing now?

Part of the game bro.. I have been bitching about it for 7 years now.

You DO need taylor made clothes if you want it to look like its supposed to lol.. I wear baggy clothes, not because I want to but because I have a 38" waist and 33" quads lol.

Don't tell me about it. When ordering work clothes, I always ask for two different sizes (people don't understand why ...). And also, years ago, I bought a very expensive pair of designer jeans .. six months later, I had to give them away because my thighs wouldn't fit in them anymore!

Thank God...I thought I was alone...lol
Thanks for the support my fellow brothers & sisters...

Last time a wore a pair of levi style pants I damn near couldn't get in my truck. I have been wearing cotton workout style pants and a 2x shirt for 6 months. My wife hates it but hey, my boys aren't smashed and the shirt is comfortable.

Try being 5' 6" and 200# just as lean. All xxl shirts with enough material to wrap around me twice. Then we have the length problem. Yes, very clown like. I sure would rather have this problem then wearing medium shirts that fit.

I know yall, some of my pants don't fit and i can fit some of my shrits that r large. I'm 5'9'' and weight 162bls figure that out:) ALL MUST FORGOT, SOME OF MY BLAZERS NOT FITTIN' EITHER. NEED MORE:) LOLOL:)

We all have our fashion problems. I have no butt and chicken legs. Custom clothes are a great thing! They're really not too much more than other higher end clothes.

I've gone up three sizes in the waist over the past few years. Dont have a problem with my hams being to large, but I have the same issue with my shirts. I wear baggy clothes because they are much more comfortable to me. Saw a guy in the store the other day with a stretchy workout shirt. He thought he was looking good, but it just looked uncomfortable to me.......lol
