Lets get some pics up of the best calves ever....In my opinion...Im gonna say that Dorian Yates had the best ever....and then right after that, Tom Platz...feel free to disagree and to explain why...but lets see some pics.
-
Matarazzo.
-
arnold. considering what he started with, and what he ended up with.
where as someone like matarazzo was all genetics. his father had bigger calves and never trained them one day in his life. so what is there to respect? nothing.
-
Yates are good, Cutler and Branch have good ones as well
-
8)
Other then this guy I would say Arnold and Dorian.
-
first thing you need to do alex is work out in shorts from now on always focusing on those diamond shaped calves

-
matarazzo had the freakiest calves but Dorian's overall size, shape and cuts were the best ever.
-
Check out Roger Stewart....he wasn't a big guy but he had freaky calves
-
Dorian Yates probably had the biggest calves in human history. Matarazzo perhaps comes second. The guy at the way bottom is phenominal but I don't know who he is.
BTW, I would KILL for calves like these!!!!!
-
Kamali
-
With respect to calves Alexxx and Arnold are similar.......
Both realize that with terrible calves, you need a diversion.
Arnold used a water in a lake.
Alexxx used his dads socks.
Your on your way.

I dont know whats more pathetic, Bast calves or Mr. Getbig posting after meltingdown and saying good bye

matar
The pic says Labrada but its Mattarazo
Mattarazo? ::)
-
Matazzaro....easily the best ever genetics for calf develpment. Yates is up there as are Platz, Dickerson, Gaspari and probably Branch.
-
I think that Yates had the thickest calves and Matarazzo had the widest.

I remember when that whole "flex wheeler has calf implants" stuff started, they even x-rayed him for implants. years later I would learn about synthol and finally make the connection....I wonder if Flex was the first guy to use synthol on a pro stage or at least teh first top guy to use it...or was it esciline?
-

Not Dickerson, that's Casey Viator.
-
flex lewis' got some crazy calves.thers a pick of him an cutler there pretty comparable if not better than jays.and flex has got about 10 years on jay
-
arnie had one of the best calves ever..
-
Nasser had a incredible set of calves
-

Nasser

Yates, Arnie, Mattazaro, Viator, Cutler.....Dillet

this guy, forgot his name but he posts in bb.com
Great calves!!!! How tall is this guy?
-
usually guys with great calves, have very short lower legs.
dorian's legs and calves were farely long.
like the above picture of random guy.
great calves, but you can see how short his lower legs are.
-

Phenominal!

In that last photo with the standing calf machine, it's all for show. All the weights up top look cool, but look how much of the actual stack he's lifting- one plate!
-
this guy, forgot his name but he posts in bb.com
Thats the one i was lookin for. HOLY SHIT.

Who's with Jay?
-
Amazing!!! This guy is the most complete small guy I have ever seen!
Especially when you consider that the b&w pic was taken in 1975 and the color one was taken in 1991. Not one missing body-part. Just a lack of height.
-
Who's with Jay?
New young Brit, Flex Lewis....
Jay's taking him on calf develeopment, thoguh Flex does hold his own against a seasoned pro...and possibly the worst Mr O in BB history ;)
-
Who's with Jay?
flex lewis.take a look at his site,theres a vid of him training them for the fit show.seriously impressive for someone his age.genetically gifted comes to mind
-
matarMattarazo? ::)
This looks ridiculous Synthol or what??
-
hell no dude...matarazzo just had some crazy baby cows....
-
This looks ridiculous Synthol or what??
matarrazo turned pro in 91 and had those calves.
synthol first appeared in 97.
idiot.

I am talking about the photo of the guy that looks like his triceps are demented his right side chest has major gyno and his inner calve is the shape of a witches hat "IDIOT" have another look clown
-
i didnt saw any mention to Derek Anthony...the guy has great calves...
;D
-
lol yeah right, you can tell by that pic that that guy never broke 5 feet.
Graphicmuscle has 5'9". His myspace addy is there so you can ask him. There is a video here with pics.

I keep thinking that last guy is Brit Terry Fisher. I remember seeing a video years ago that had him dressing that way.
-
It's gotta be Wheeler;s Flexed calves since Shawn got so suspicious of his genetics before and after the calf inspection turned up negative.
-
Jeff King
James DeMelo
Roger Stewart
Sergio Oliva
Chris Dickerson
Arnold
Matarazzo
Yates
Padilla
that's a good list...you even have James Demelo on there, that guy had some f'n cows on him.
-
One thing is certain..no one in the bodybuilding world can match Derek's calves. They deserve all the worship they receive! :D
-

Jay's taking him on calf develeopment, thoguh Flex does hold his own against a seasoned pro...and possibly the worst Mr O in BB history ;)
A tiny, gyno sporting,huge elbow having ,170 lb Chris Dickerson was the worst Mr O ever. Dickerson literally had no biceps. Second was a gyno ridden, injured leg having, smooth from the waist down Franco C. The guys best friend was promoting the show. He looked so bad it was comical he won that year. Those are the worst Mr O's ever.
If Jay was better then Ronnie on stage this year, which he was. What would you have said if Ronnie won the O. Greatest mr o ever!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!??

Yes I couldn't find any decengt pics of Demelo's calvea but I do remember the mags having some awesome pics of him. I should have added Vince Taylor but someone else did mention him.
-
SOMETIME'S in the overall bbing scheme of things calves don't mean much today,but having even decent calves is nice.i think they look cool rounded out from a pair of long shorts.
-
8)
Other then this guy I would say Arnold and Dorian.
The only thing worse than those calves, are those hamstrings.
-
I've always liked Shawn's.
When flexed, they are extremely angled and sharp.
Noone has every accused him of having implants, but
they look unnatural when flexed.
Bigger isn't always better.
-
IMHO,is a tie between Chris Dickerson and Bast. :)
That's Casey
-
this guy, forgot his name but he posts in bb.com
I wouldn't want calves that big; I would rather have calves that are cut up and veiny w/ good size
-

That's an offseason pic bro. They all look like that offseason.
-
The pic says Labrada but its Mattarazo
Those don't look at all like Matarazzo's calves. I remember the original M&F which identified them as Labrada's and believe this to be correct.
-

Yeah, I know; I'm just saying I prefer the look of big calves when in contest shape. I would like to see what the rest of him looks like bc those calves look like they belong on someone who is 250+ in contest shape. Although it is not a problem for many bodybuilders today, calves can be too big and out of proportion to the rest of your physique.
-
Best: Matarazzo and Yates.
I think Nasser had synthol in his.
-
Matarazzo............... ...

Vince G
End of thread

roger stewart had the same problem that chris dickerson had great calves but out of balance . vince taylor was great

Didn't he have another kid or something? Maybe family took over. It's a shame, he seemed a cool guy

Is kai gay today, or did he just let a dude suck his longdong at a strip show a decade ago?

Brutally odd nigerian mongloid-twink structure. AIDs patient monkey limbs(because of their length of course, no racist) attached to a gay dwarfs torso topped by a head large enough to seem at home on a black andre the giant.
What an ugly, ugly m*therfucker.

Of course not. Now it all makes sense why hes so driven and always poking everyone in the eye. Hes pissed he was given such a shit end of the stick aesthetically speaking. Must be heartbroken that he could never go anywhere in BB so he had to settle for fighting. At leasy he can get his frustrations at being a closeted gay twink out.

Massive fan of Danny's, but he had no leg bicep separation and little development in that area.

Tina Lockwood had the largest legs and calves I have ever seen on a woman... and most men for that matter. During the mid-late 90's she was the girlfriend of an ex-training partner of mine. Legit 19" calves and 28" thighs. She made most men's legs in the gym look like toothpicks. She told me her legs were always big, even when she was a kid before she started training. I have no idea where she is now. That ex-training partner of mine got caught selling roids... he did 7 years for that.

wrong, theres space between the last plate and second to last. its the whole damn stack +

another one that is seldom mentioned i think would be matt mendenhall . back in 1982 1985 . great legs
