Title: Calves to Ankles ratio
Post by: hipolito mejia on April 10, 2010, 10:15:11 AM
I dont think it has been discussed here before, but who has the biggest difference in size from calf to ankle?

I think at one point (1971) Arnold was the most dramatic ever.

too bad his quads were probably 35" around though..

Post by: Hulkotron on April 10, 2010, 11:46:08 AM
I agree calves are "mostly genetic", whatever that means for sure, perhaps more so than other muscle groups.  However most people also half-ass them in the gym and do a couple sets once a week after a leg workout.  If you do a couple sets once a week for your chest or arms they'll suck too.

Sorry Hulk as much as I love ronnie, he's not even close to being in the running.  He did have good calves later in his career but nothing comparable to the greats.

Yes both of them have puny upper bodies with thick quads, and have calves that look like 2 but cheeks side by side. And yeah they also have big joints.

yeah, i'm surprised. when i was training i don't think they were more than an inch bigger than that.  they looked better tho.  my arms have shrunk about two inches since i quit.

Ankle to calf ratio I would have to say it's close between Aaron Baker, Mike Matarrazo and Vince Taylor - all had absolutely tiny joints so the ratio would have been pretty large.

His triceps were huge as well. He seemed to train in a slow, but torturous rate. And in the BFTO series, the 97 one, he did biceps curls with a straight bar, which if you have small wrist and joints (like a lot of black people do) that straight bar is a killer for them--but they eventually get used to it, and the forearms look better.

yes, I claimed that simply to show the nuthuggers how to prove something. no one would think for a minute that it were actually true.

and it still took them about 10 pages after I said it for them to actually clue in and prove it wrong using visuals.

but they were too dumb to understand the point of the excercise.

the nuthuggers babble on posting total bullshit without corroborating proof.

they avoid the visuals because it shows their arguments are wrong.

I stepped up and taught them a lesson, but they were too stupid to understand it.

typical dumb nuthuggers.. ::)

Hulkster makes a point that having large thighs will make your gastros look small.

Tom Platz had great gastros too but due to his sheer thigh size they didn't appear extraordinary.

Dude, thats why they are supposed to keep their thighs balanced to their quads.
Thats why Shawn Ray downsized his legs, he stopped training them because his quads were outgrowing the rest of his body.
Thats part of BB, not just trying to make your bodyparts the biggest and freakiest, but by creating the complete package.

sorry buddy, but his calves always looked like that, although they were smaller when he was 50 pounds lighter.

it amuses me how people have to insist ronnie used synthol for no reason with no proof.

in fact, the visuals all confirm the exact opposite: that he never used it.

No synthol on this guy. You can see veins and cuts and that means no synthol. Just A LOT of skullcrushers and egg whites built those impressive triceps.
