Two years ago, I was getting sick of 9"-11" inseams that seemed standard on mass produced shorts. This year, I was able to find some 6" inseams that fit real nice (they are a lot cooler too). They are not super short, but they show much more leg than baggy cargo shorts that are so over. Also, if you weighlift, you understand how much effort goes into legs... everybody hates squats. I've been training hard and was blessed with a nice booty.. time to show it off a bit!
