thighs starting to rub together

swordfish · 08-16-2005, 01:56 PM

ive been hitting hams and quads hard for the last 8 months or so, with a good diet and my legs are getting bigger, they are starting to rub together a little bit when i walk. anyone else have this problem? they start to get a rash after walking quite a bit.

I had that problem when I trained legs.....got sick of it and stopped lifting for legs....just running now....problem solved.

Sam40 · 08-16-2005, 02:00 PM

Better get you some undies with legs in them. I used to be a little fat legged when I was kid. and had a lot of problems with galding. Boy does that shit hurt.

007 · 08-16-2005, 02:01 PM

gold balm...

extra strength

Myztek · 08-16-2005, 02:01 PM

When I was younger that happened when I was overweight.

Nick+ · 08-16-2005, 02:04 PM

What about bigger lats making one sweat more in the armpits?

Scotty the Body · 08-16-2005, 02:12 PM

quit walkin, its highly overrated anyway.

Just use Gold balm as suggested

007 · 08-16-2005, 02:14 PM

i was considering just running for my legs too (still do deads tho

)... how often/far do you run. wouldnt the rest of your body start to become unproportioned? or is that not really an issue.

**Mudge** · 08-16-2005, 08:24 PM

I've had this problem since I was a kid. This is the biggest reason why I wear boxer briefs, to avoid serious chafing which has been a problem.

**P-funk** · 08-16-2005, 08:26 PM

join the club. especially in this heat it is the worst. I am walking around with something that feels like friggin diaper rash.

I run 3x a week.... only 3 or 4 miles. Proportion is still good.

Suit of armour cured my problem. Now I just clacking noises when I walk.

Thick ass, absorbant boxer briefs are the ticket man. I sweat so much some days that without them, it would be soaking through my pants, just SITTING. I live in a warm climate which doesn't help. Haynes makes them, and Lee Priest sports them in one of his videos while posing in the bathroom.

**P-funk** · 08-16-2005, 08:37 PM

"Thick ass" is the name of them?

**Mudge** · 08-16-2005, 08:39 PM

no but they are thick, they almost look like shorts. I guess you could consider it double walled protection, I went to these from regular BBriefs for their extra absorbant nature. Just dont let people call em a diapy.

I have the sweating problem, so I need them.

If its just for leg protection, good boxer briefs hiked up a tad into the upper region of your inner thighs.

min0 lee · 08-16-2005, 09:03 PM

Why is that? Just wondering cause I sweat more than the average person.

I used chafe so bad that I'd get nasty pimples on my legs.

**Mudge** · 08-16-2005, 09:31 PM

I dont know, I didn't start having a sweating problem until I got into the 230s. First its my back, then its my crack. Wherever there is no airflow, I will sweat through.

I hear ya there, but I think FTL makes a better fit....

PreMier · 08-17-2005, 12:35 AM

Yea boxer briefs... only problem is they wear out hella fast because they are constantly rubbing on one another.

FTL - fruit of the loom.... I bought Hanes once, and they were too short on the legs, kept riding up. The FTL's are a good length.

Jay-Budaman · 08-17-2005, 07:40 AM

If its a serious problem and you have a few extra dollars laying around, I'd suggest underarmor boxer briefs. A cheaper alternative would be bag balm or vaseline on the thighs. That diaper rash is nasty shit, I should know, I'm in the military and we do conditioning hikes; 20+ miles with a pack and gear will give you some sick chaffing. But try it, both seem to help me.

Oh, hmm. I have some longer Hanes too, but they aren't as thick. Where did you get yours (store)?

As for putting things on the thighs I NEVER EVER had success with baby powder or any of that crap, it made things worse because I always sweated right through it. What I did have good luck
