a) Told Flex magazine at the end of a discussion totally unrelated to anything sexual, "For the record I support the gay community?"

b)  Made references in his training video of being sexual with a guy-friend?

Only Levrone baby.

ridiculous calves- you're right...


yates wins as he's sporting them on a balanced frame....i wonder what they would look like if he trained them regardless of the balance- ala Frankhouser.

also- we know bb is an illusion....im not sure but Doz's calves look much bigger than Frankshenhousen's too. thicker, deeper.

having said all that i wouldve put matarrazzo's calves up here as numero uno, then yates, then everyone else.

Have to go with Dorian, Mattarazo and fankhouser. Though fankhousers are so big that they do overpower his upper legs, and completely overpower his upper body. Dont get me wrong, it is good to see a bb'er with a massive set of claves, but fankhousers overpower the rest of his body.

reps and reps and reps.....if genetics aren't there then thats the approach.u have to try everything,stretch pause,top pause,fast reps,and like i said reps,but with good weight ...as heavy with form.
