Title: Who had better calves, Arnold or Dorian?
Post by: Antony77 on July 25, 2008, 09:59:05 AM

Who had better calves, Arnold or Dorian?
In my expert opinion Arnold had far superior pecs and arms (the only body parts that matter  ;) ) while Dorian had a better back and superior delts and quads (Arnolds quads were smaller but had better seperation). But calves is tough because both these guys had awesome calves, not as good as Erik Fankhouser but awesome nonetheless.

I would say Yates because there is too much speculation if Arnold's are real or not.

Arnold's are 100% fake but they still look good, who knows maybe Dorian got some enhancement there too , if done by a good Dr they will look 100% natural.

Dorian wins by the benefit of the doubt.

I know that the Arnold evangelists will go into attack mode but his calves look highly suspect in some of those shots.

Arnold had better calves-but Dorian is very close-ad Dorian has the granite conditioning.

Haha - exactly. Arnold's calves were good and he did well to bring them up like he did, but you can't even begin to compare them with Yates's overall size and conditioning.

Arnold's calves at a later stage in his career were very good but Dorian's were out of this world.
