For your fit wife to have stronger legs

75% Normal
8 Comments

My wife keeps real fit. I have weights around the house and use them for upper body toning. My wife goes to the gym alot, lifts weights on her legs mostly for her 10km runs and bikes alot. I was all pumped after benching sets and reps with 225lbs when she comes down to work out too. She was in her shorts and tank top and wanted me to help her do squats. No squat rack so I help her lift the 105 pound curling bar onto her shoulders. No way can she lift it up by herself. I knew she had good leg strength and she then rips off 25 deep squats like no business. She wanted me to try. I never do squats and boy I struggled to do 15 reps. She had to spot me to get in 3 more and I was all done in. My legs felt like rubber. She then does another 25 no problem. I could barely do 12 this time and again she had to spot me and my legs were quickly turning into jello.
I got 16 inch arms, a 46 inch muscular chest so I can bench 275 pounds. My legs are slim at 21 inches. My wife has like 10 inch arms and has trouble benching 75 pounds. Her legs are two inches thicker than mine but I think that is normal. Is this normal that she is lifting more than me with her legs? Is it normal for women to have stronger legs then a guy? Should I feel embarrassed? Especially cause I look really strong up top.

    im telling you squats are more important than bench presses but you have probably been conditioned to think its gay to work your lower body

    Dude you need to work out your leg muscles to help slim down. There the biggest muscle group and therefore developing them will increase your metabolism. Having bigger legs will mean you burn more calories just by sitting down. Get your legs in shape dude.

    If the woman is lifting weights or soemthing, then yeah, I would expect that. They are trying to be fit and healthy! You shouldn't worry about that! You should be happy to know your fit wife is trying to be healthy and fit!:)

    Moron. Gee you are nice.
    Hey, I work 14 hours days so i don't work out at the gym at all, only at home. I am sure if she did not work out her legs (like me) that her legs would be weaker than mine. I am glad to provide her with the resources to have free time to get a hot body and be proud of it.

    You're a typical gym moron who ignores his legs. I bet you look like a light bulb. Women are naturally more weak upper-body wise, & strong lower body. However, as a man, you will surpass her of you work your legs out. Physically, men overcome weaknesses & surpass the strengths of women, physically. That's a fact. By the way, your wife is a freak. I guess you like 'em manly looking, eh? Closet homo.
