Why do female epeeist have large butts?

[fencing teen]

What on earth is a Pillsbury Doughgirl?

[Peach]

Pillsbury Doughboy was an animated character designed to advertise baking mix. Puffy and white. Doughgirl was a joke.

[Fencing Angel]

the color scheme is for all the clusmey fencers who just bumble around on the strip.

are you sure? i thought the gluteous was the largest? what a pain in the butt! i was mistaken all these years!

To mangofever,
Yes, I've been weight lifting for years and I have read a lot on the muscular anatomy. The latissimus dorsi covers the entire back starting right below the trapezius muscles and goes down to the area above the gluteus maximus and it makes up the width of the entire back. The lats are not made up of two separate muscles.
I believe that the quadriceps are the next largest muscles. They are made up of four main sections which start at the top of the thigh (not waist) and go down to the knee. The gluteus maximus starts at the bottom of the back and ends where the hamstrings begin. It's a much smaller and shorter muscle.
If you look at a body builder's physique or chart of the muscular system, the quads are much larger than the gluts.
On the female body, more fat is stored in the hip and butt region than in men which makes the butt larger but not necessarily more muscular.
A bit of anatomy trivia, women don't have a muscle connection in the legs/hip area as men which is the reason why their hips sway when walking up steps. As a test, have a male stand on a level floor with feet shoulder width apart (normal standing position). Then have him raise one leg and then put it back down. Then, have a female do the same. You should notice with the female that the hips shift/tilt. It is impossible for them to prevent that.

ah I see, this is why we not only fence better, but can deliver children and go to fencing class three days later.

Lumberg,

So THAT'S why men watch women's butts when they're walking up stairs! I didn't realize it was for science.

you have to be kidding me, visually pleasured? you have to buck up kid, put a little metal in your petal,or whatever. i think an absent-minded glance at people is sufficient, and also we need to check to see if anything's hanging out so we can help each other tuck it back in....i should have been a parent, but the world is too weird.

[Lumberg]

To mangofever,
I was joking by using the words "visually pleasured". It was effective none the less.

you are correct! let's not forget the art of the psych-out - but that's okay, maybe i'm oversensitive about butts., but then americans tend to be over-AWARE of their derriere- i think our roots were neanderthal, we MAY have decended from the great ape, not sure, need to check on this, maybe the ORANATANG -
