Rubiconf19,
I got mine from bodybuilding.com. They are nice and I had them in less than a week from the distributor. $18.99 a pair.

Same here.
I'm 6 feet tall, waist around 32 inches, 200 lbs, and I've worn a medium.
I just ordered a large to see how they fit but I have a feeling they'll be too big.
Bob

I got a pair from www.cherrybombs.net/ and they`re great......also a medium. I recently got a free pair from bb.com for being the bb of the month but haven`t received them yet. If you have a long torso and short legs,get a higher waisted pair with a higher cut on the leg to create an illlusion of better proprtion..........and vice versa if reversed. |

Advice: bring 3 or 4 pair with you for a show. Never know.
Had a mishap with a competitor who had an embarrassing moment. He looped his fingers around the sides of his trunks for a front lat, pulled too hard from nerves and the trunks ripped.
Had to run off stage before real embarrassment set in.
So be prepared for anything!

Randy,check out this page........none of them look very different except the "Flex Cut" looks a bit tiny to say the least !! ;D Your best bet is to check out various sites to see what you think would look good on you. I think the ones I got from cherrybombs was a French Cut but I honestly don`t remember.........got them about a year ago or so. bodytemple.net/store/default.php/cPath/42 |

I think the french cut would work.
I will save the flex cut for "Dancing for $$" LOL

We laughed ourselves silly now, Randy. But at the time it was anything but!!  Something else, when packing for a show I suggest placing your trunks in a ziploc bag or away from your pro tan and oil (actually oil and pro tan should be in separate ziploc bags). One guy unpacked and his trunks were saturated from the oil (the cap must have been loose). Had to buy new ones from an exhibitor at the show. Live and learn! |

No sense in chancing a big mess |

To elaborate (give us old fogies a break), check and make sure you have the option of tape or CD. Some shows may only want CDs. If using cassette tape, bring 3. Always keep one for yourself plus a spare in case the one you turn in to the stage crew breaks or is lost. Even CD, bring 3 in case of loss (but at very least 2). |
