I always used to find it funny when you see blokes with big upper body muscle on tiny little pin legs.

But then it occurred to me that most of us are the same in reverse - big muscular legs with skinny little arms.

    I just laugh at people who go to the gym and all they do is build upper body muscle... it servers no purpose, makes them look stupid, and makes them so inefficient that they couldn't participate in any real sports (such as cycling).

    I'd much rather have a physique to serve a functional purpose.

    I've cycled for twenty years and i've still got skinny legs but muscle developes on my top half without trying, whatever i do my legs refuse to grow but if i mow the lawn i'll put an inch on my chest.
    I could leg press 600lbs+ all day and my legs don't gain mass but my arms probably will, it's down to genetics.

    Chicks dig the muscles :) . Or so I'm told :( . Balance would be nice but it's easier to hide a skinny pair of legs than a pigeon chest & twiglet arms!

    Being quick up a hill isn't a turn on for 99.9% of women.
