Strange thigh muscle of Eliud Kipchoge

Doesn't make sense though, this is how the fibers of a muscle sit, diagonally downward:

That image is as lean as a person can be.

Cellulite.

Yeah. So either it's not the rectus femoris fasciculation, or Kipchoge's rectus femoris is different from the normal.

Its a condition.They are muscles.I have the same thing on my thigh muscles.It happens if you started running hard for long periods at a very young age like pre teenage before the muscles mature enough.I get very painful muscle cramps at that area sometimes especially on the track during workouts.

Interesting. Do you know anyone else with this condition other than you and Kipchoge?

Huh, you sound like an idiot.

Interesting that Lel has it as well....where there's smoke..

Was watching a clip on the news about a guy who went tramping in S. America and came home (to Kansas or Chicago etc.) and pain started in his head, was worried about a brain tumor, had a scan and found it was a massive worm he picked up tramping. Somebody here will know the correct name. Imagine how fast he'll ran once that gets removed.

botfly?

I have read this whole thread and so far the lizard people explanation makes the most sense.

Yeah, that's the one.

Yes, some of them have mechanical turbo chargers installed by tribal witch doctors

I'm going with the salamander people, otherwise how would he be doped to the gills?

At what point do you think this man is normal??

His post race interview with Lewis Johnson he looked frighteningly like ET....

Especially around the eyes.

Extremely freaky.

Medium to high fast twitch muscle displaying fatigue.

Muscles do have horizontal striations, but on a microscopic level. Maybe what we're seeing is the rectus femoris muscle recoiling.

Only thing recoiling is your microscopic intellect.

Here are some similar striations ...

Clearly a tribal surgical procedure...

It is not striations, it is wave harmonics. The R. femoris doesn't work like monoarticulate muscles, lengthening and shortening overall, rather it stays roughly the same length and alternately lengthens and shortens on the top and bottom. This is because the hip and knee joints flex and extend in opposite phase. The hamstrings work the same way.

So it basically is like a stretched out slinky, where if you move the middle toward one end and let go, it oscillates back and forth in a wave action. This low frequency oscillation creates higher frequency harmonics along the muscle that become visible at certain points in the stride.

I could be wrong, but maybe I'm not. My first impressions of shit are usually accurate. Your bodybuilder doesn't have R. femoris striations, only Vastus.

Those are motors!!!! He's using motors in his legs!!!

Salamander, that's classic.

Wow. Page 3 of a thread with the title: Strange thigh muscle of Eliud Kipchoge.

Bado Malcolmo Gladwello Wigo. (Galen had 50 tests! No. Ridiculo!!!)

You say…"I could be wrong, but maybe I'm not. My first impressions of sh*t are usually accurate."

What are you talking about?

There is no maybe.

Your name should be "Wrong again" Wigins.

(Unfortunately, that phrase is already taken.)

None of your "first impressions" are accurate. Your middle and final impressions are also not accurate.

It is time to put your brain in ice water again. It worked last time. Trust me.

OK?
