Questions about muscle growth.

Post by MF_rogue »

I recently ordered a pair of jeans on e-bay, they were size and they still are, but now I just today got them and it's hard to get them on and they're tight on upper leg area (tights as in I can wear them, but I can't put hands in the pocket and I can't stretch legs or anything like that - walking is alright, anything else is fine as well). I just wanted to ask some tings about muscle growth that might make legs too big to fit in these pants:
*If I keep jogging and doing some simple leg exercises, will the muscles keep on growing/how fast or slow?
*If I start using protein or any other supplements, will they accelerate the growth of leg muscles even faster?

I just really like these pants and I would love to wear them for a while since they were really expensive and look amazing, but how long will I be able to?

Muslce growth depends on various factors.

Diet, cardiovascular activity, weight lifting style, frequency of exercise, Growth Hormone production, Testosterone levels, the bodies ability to use any nutrition provided etc.

So predicting growth rate and longevity of growth rate before plateuing, is very hard and I couldn't accurately do it, without some kind of knowledge of your hormone production potential, Testosterone levels, or other kinds of medical information.

Best guess, if they're a little snug now, they may become too snug in less than 8 weeks.

There's plenty of people on here, but some probably don't feel the need to comment, if there's already something that's been said that would be pretty much what they would say, or perhaps if it's something they don't have any considered opinion or knowldge on, they won't post.

There's plenty of people here though :).

I have the same problem, in order to have jeans that fit waste I have to get loose fit; regular fit jeans are far too tight around upper legs all due to muscle from weights and fast long walks. Thus I end up with "baggy bum" as wife calls it, but what else can one do?
