Thighceps Are The New Biceps: Why You Should Start Rocking Short Shorts

Bros, a renaissance of sorts has swept across the nation. While girls are harking back to the olden days of wearing high waisted skirts and other throwback fashion trends, bros rocking short shorts is gaining some serious momentum.

Amongst the frat bros, short shorts have been a part of the uniform for years now. It’s almost a rite of passage. Once you get to a certain point in college, the length of your shorts starts to reflect the number of years you have left.

Nowadays, short shorts aren’t just for frat bros though. They’re for fashion forward bros, grown men, and young boys. They’re for everyone. Whether they be normal khaki’s you wear out to lunch, a pair of swim trunks, or golf shorts.

Suns out thighs out is a real life trend. This is happening. This is the moment we’ve been waiting for.

But, like any good bro, you want to look good while being fashion forward. That makes sense, right? Just like having good arms to show off in your tank, having good legs to show off in your Chubbies is vital.

Thighceps send a message.

For a long time bros could get away with skipping leg day thanks to their shorts and pants covering up their lack of testicular fortitude. Those times are no more. Nowadays, ladies care about a man with good thighs.

Being able to flex and make your pythons hiss will always be in, much like a tailored suit. But having thighceps is a new status symbol. It sets you apart in the eyes of the ladies. It’s like a peacock whose feathers resemble the 96 crayon box. That shit draws attention to future mates, and that’s a good thing.

Thighceps show the ladies that you’re willing to put in the work. They’re a symbol that says you know how to take care of shit that sucks, and put yourself in pain for the greater good. They show off the fact that you know how to squat, deadlift, and leg press.

They also show off that you’re not some jacked bro who is resting a pair of toothpicks. There’s nothing bro about being top heavy, or built on a shaky foundation. Does your lady want your relationship to be built on a weak foundation? Of course she doesn’t. But that’s the message you’re sending by having no foundation down there yourself.

Thighceps just look better.

Look, I’m not making a rallying cry for all of us to build legs that Ronnie Coleman, 8x Mr. Olympia, would shake our hand for. Though if that’s your jam, go for it.

I’m saying that having defined legs that show off the fact that you know there’s 50% of your body to be trained below the waist says a lot about you. It shows that you know how to put in the time, and work for something that doesn’t bring immediate results. That’s a bro move. There’s probably a direct correlation between bros who don’t skip leg day, and those who kick the shit out of life.

Aside from all of the metaphorical bullshit of having good legs, good legs just look better. Nothing looks worse than throwing on a pair of Chubbies, screaming about freedom, and then getting blown over by a strong gust of wind because you’ve got no leg strength.

Strong and defined legs are more than a great accessory to be shown off in some short shorts this summer. They’re a fucking status symbol, and a key part of a well-rounded physique.

Still not convinced thighceps are in?

That’s a lot of women just waiting for a man with great thighceps to come waltzing into their lives. Don’t pass up that opportunity bros. Build some thighceps, and show them off.
