Ben Pakulski, Jeff long & Erik

A friend of mine said Pakulski's calves were the freakiest thing he ever saw
Calves are probably the most eye catching bodypart there is. Unfortunately I can never get calves. :'(

More pics of Ben's calves. The rest of his physique is not too shabby either!!

Nevermind Erik's teeth - his calves attach at the soles! Not sure which one is morphed though.

Kuclo vs Ben.

The answer is yes.

Kuclo's calves are also good.

Insane calves on all of em and 100 % genetics. I bet most of em barely even train em.

a little synthol

Fuckin circus.

a little synthol
GH15 claims almost all pros use synthol. They inject it deep into the tissue under the muscle layers. They still have striations but the muscles look fuller because the synthol is bulging them outward from underneath.

Why do we still follow this repulsive shit?
-
In the context of the rest of the body imo very big calves are not good to look it, they take away from the thighs. Take a look at ronnie coleman's profile, just his sill oh wet, when he's relaxed, that's perfection and his legs look like they belong on a horse partially because his calves aren't huge and his legs taper as they say, I dunno if that's the right word, I mean to say huge calves don't look good on stage but look good wearing shorts at the grocer store

Those three guys in the pic for instance, they all look gross to me, big muscles but not beautiful muscles

That's because they probably don't work on their lines and they don't know how to present their physiques.
Most of them would look much better if they knew how to pose.
But the IFBB doesn't consider the ability to pose an important part of how a physique looks.
In anycase, in terms of aesthetics, if you have calves but no thighs, your legs lwill still ook good. If you have thighs but no calves, your legs will look stupid.
It's basic aesthetic knowledge but these days, the judges don't consider aesthetics much anymore.

No, beauty of something you have or don't have, those guys should ease back on calf raises, but they're going for mass and freakiness not beauty, so they won't. If you wan an exacmple of beauty, take a look at frank zane in that bb group pic 15 talks about, he's not the biggest but what little you can see of him if much more beautiful than anything else. He just has it

I think we are agreeing here though it sounds like we are at odds.
I think Zane is probably the greatest bodybuilder of them all.
Why? Because he worked towards aesthetics. Consistently. He never fell for the size trap.
A bodybuilder is not a bodybuilder but just a thug if he is unaware of the limtis of size for his own particular frame. Once you go beyond that limit - for your frame - you are no longer a bodybuilder.
-
VINCE TAYLOR, AARON BAKER and PAUL DILLETTE. all had serious calves (atypical black man genetics) no homo
Pakulski's calves are probably best out there now.

I think Zane "worked for size" just as much as the next guy back then. Just genetically a "light" guy.
You can't train for aesthetics. You can avoid ruining whatever aesthetics you have by not overeating and overusing insulin. But that's today... Zane did what all the rest were doing back then.

Not according to what Zane says.
Aesthetics is definitely something you can work towards.
You shouldn't buy into the notion that aesthetics is for 'lighter' guys. That's a misnomer spread by guys who are too proud to control how they look.

No I'm not black, and these are seo calves, you cal tell because they taper to such a sharp and small ankle, guys with huge calves have not only the two big main muscles but also oversized supporting muscles, making the whole region very thick and making the whole leg kind of bottom heavy, but these calves I like, remind me of ronnie's

Whatever was a guy's selling point is what they always supposedly worked for. It's just ridiculous of course. The big brutal guys worked for that. The lighter so-called aesthetic guys worked for this instead. Also notice how bodybuilders always site guys who look like themselves as their inspirations and how they worked to look like their idols? Fact of the matter is that genetics is what dictates if you're going to look aesthetic or blocky. It's not a training trick. Mike Katz could never look like Zane, he could do Zane's routine exactly and it wouldn't work. And Zane couldn't look like Katz. Could Platz have been proportionate and symmetrical? No, he tried and failed. Could Arnold have Platz's quads? No.
All a bb can do is add muscle to his frame. Proportions and skeletal structure is what determines aesthetic appeal and it's all genetic. Take ANY bodybuilder at the start of their competitive career and compare to the end, when they no doubt tried balancing out their bodyparts and you'll just see a bigger version of the starting point. Training has little to nothing to do with it.
No, aesthetics isn't just for lighter guys, that's absolutely right. But lighter guys are always called aesthetic by bodybuilding fans, magazines, etc. Being light isn't necessarily aesthetic.
Like I said, the only thing you can do is avoid ruining your aesthetics with drugs and food and Synthol etc.

Come on, Vince's calves are fantastic whereas Ronnie's are a mess of scar tissue. Doesn't even compare.

Pretty sure Vince, and his calves, was on the scene before oil got prevalent.

k nevermind then lol
-
k then maybe they arent synthol lol, I liek the way theyre nice and not fat like those on white guys with big calves, but vince's arent really all that big, they have a nice shape though, I would say shape > size when it comes to calves
-
they must ride bicycles a lot
-
k nevermind then lol
:D
Vince's calves look like diamonds. Ronnie's are uneven from left to right, there is no belly, the gastroc is flat.

There have been some accusations of implants in Vince's case and if this were true that's a fantastic job I have to say. :D

Sure, to an extent but if take Arnold as an example, his physique looked totally different later in his career than earlier. He was much more balanced and aesthetic. Ronnie was the opposite. Lee Labrada, at the end of his career hard started to add size which slightly altered the quality of his aesthetics. Bannout changed comnpletely from being aesthetically perfect towards being just bigger. Zane wasn't always aesthetically pleasing. In his earlier days, he was way out of balance.
But you are right in suggesting it is easier to ruin what you have. These days, the judges seem to value that approach.

Ronnie's calves looked real bad just standing there. Adding some oil improved the front silhouette. Ronnie looked a bit strange with real small calves, especially with the slight cow legged shape to his legs (lower leg sort of bending outward).
It's rare that oil and site injections improve a bb in my opinion but calves are somewhat a special case. If the calves are real bad it can add some balance even if it's obvious what they did.

labrada as an example yes was 175 in earlier olympia's at then of his career he was in the 190's and had a more vascular,thicker look all around esp arms which were a strongpoint,he did not get that way using connelly's metrx.

Mike Mattazzo had 21' calves at a lesser body weight than Ben, who has 19s.
They are freaky, but I think Erik's are better.
BTW, there is a pic of Nasser measuring his calves at 21 inches.

I saw Dillet in person in the late 90's at a gym in Toronto, and when he walked past me, as big as his upper body was, it was his lower body that blew me away. Massive quads, massive hamstrings, and calves big as footballs, and they were ripped.

And no mention of Phil Hill, who had beastly calves regardless of race.

Ben's calves have to be over 20s. There is no way in hell those are 19s.
Matt C spoke on this about a month ago, apparently he asked Ben, and Ben said they measured 19s, I don't think Ben is as tall as Mattarazzo, so Ben's look huge...
And I started a thread either last yr or in 2009 about whose was better Ben's or Erik'

That's pretty shocking, i thought Ben's calves were around 21", short shins i guess. Freaky calves are cool and everything as a show off muscle in the day to day, but I think Paul D and Dorian had the best looking huge calves. Erik's just look stupid to me. His calves probably measure 4 inches more than his arms, and they overpower his quads and hams, not a good look imo.

At the end of the day, large calves don't make you run faster or jump higher. We've all seen fat women (and men) who have HUGE calves to the point that they look like mutant Bulls.
The most extreme example to me was a construction worker who had a beret belly and big round ass calves that started at the base of the knee and ended well down his shin...looked like he was bitten by spider, had balloons or was relates to Popeye.
And he just walked along.

false and fail. vince always had the calves and ive seen him at many npc show here in Florida. same calves all the time. they are not injected. man has genetics for calves. you have them or you dont.

best calves in bodybuild history belong to mike matarazza,, when taking everything to consideration ,, both sheer size and shape,, and over all the balance and symetry ,,the diamond shape ,, and the products used,,
ben plupsosky is all insulina and gh ,, same for kuklo the kid,, matarazza was more aas and gh ....big diff,, his calves are stil number one in the history of bodybuild,, again calves are genetic and nothing you can do about it other than seo which is dumb to do now day because....mr o 2008 had no special calves.... you can get to top with no calves see denise wolfe,, really today it dont count ,,back in the 80s and 90s yes ...today you dont need no calves

Pukulsky's look more than 19 inches, and I don't think he weighs more than Matarrazzo, who was huge. More mass than Mazz for sure, but mad Mazz had that crazy shape. Tough call!

I cant decide who has the best calves. Pukulski has the edge in shock value but the sabre tooth tiger has it on insertions.
-
I was at Pukulski's very first local show, he won but not by much and his calves where the same as they are today, the whole audiance was in awe of his calves, a month later he came second at a regional event, his improvements since then have been enormous, except for his calves witch have always been like that, so no way in hell has he put oil in them,

Chris had the best diamond-shapes calves.

MM's father had bigger calves than he did, he said so...and then there was a pic of him and his father gutting fish (Flex,The Big Picture), and his father's calves were HUGE...

And Mike didn't train his calves at all, only some stretching. Only for photoshoots, the lucky bastard..

Yes, I saw Fankhouser and Pakulski's in person and they are not Calves, they are COWS.

Hope these worked, couldnt find a really good pic of lee's calves from the back, but basically these are perfect calves, not too big and nice and nice shape, well proportioned and bring out the legs as a whole

I cant decide who has the best calves. Pukulski has the edge in shock value but the sabre tooth tiger has it on insertions.
Yes pretty much. Pakulski has more developed calves there but the other guy has better potential since his insertions are lower thus making it possible for bigger fuller calves. But I dont think he trains them that much since it would look unproportionate.

def NOT
I would say he's up there

Retired

Ben is also closer to the camera, you can see Erik is more in the background...I give edge to Erik "House"
I hope Erik comes into his own this coming yr.

ND do you know from which contest the pic. on the right is??.. why did he inject oil in them they didn't look very bad before!!.. i read in flex that he injected synthole in his triceps and was going to die because he injected it by mistake in his blood or something like this!!.. and yes his tris were weak but his biceps were ok so i am wondering why!!..

I believe it's from 1998 or 1999 Olympia , they didn't look bad but his arms seemed to lag behind his lower body and he wanted to even his physique out.

Arnold looked so badass when he was on full blast.

Anyone have pictures of Matarazzo's dad's calves?
-
best calves in bodybuild history belong to mike matarazza,, when taking everything to consideration ,, both sheer size and shape,, and over all the balance and symetry ,,the diamond shape ,, and the products used,,
ben plupsosky is all insulina and gh ,, same for kuklo the kid,, matarazza was more aas and gh ....big diff,, his calves are stil number one in the history of bodybuild,, again calves are genetic and nothing you can do about it other than seo which is dumb to do now day because....mr o 2008 had no special calves.... you can get to top with no calves see denise wolfe,, really today it dont count ,,back in the 80s and 90s yes ...today you dont need no calves
gh15 approved
I spoke with a Pro who saw Matarazzo and Yates side by side in person. This was around 1993-1994. He said Dorian's calves dominated.

I check under my bed each night for mike matarazzos calves.

Mike Matarazzo's calves ate a jar of peanut butter every night while Mike himself was sound to sleep.

Ask ND if he can post the shot from Flex Magazine's Big Picture...his father is not flexing, he's standing gutting a fish, and he's wearing glasses...
-
the 90's were indeed the GOlden era of BB
some of the best calves ever- DOrian, Nasser
THese black BB's also had great calves- DIllet, V taylor, SHawn and Aaron Baker
Platz also had great calves to go with the freaky upper legs
roger stewart also had a great set of calves
-
All genetics!
This is my mates calves - not bad for an amateur. Like all these guys with good calf genetics, he hardly trains them (it's freaky how low the calves attach on these guys legs)
-
yes good . calves for all the fanfare about his symmetry oliva calves were not that great . waller calves were complete calves .

big calves are just a cool show piece. theyre the least important muscle when it comes to how well you place imo
-
I recall Milos nearly killing himself after injecting synthol into his vein, & during the 99 NOC his arms looked so bad i think he was relegated to 5th but was good enough for top 3 otherwise.

I think we are agreeing here though it sounds like we are at odds.
I think Zane is probably the greatest bodybuilder of them all.
Why? Because he worked towards aesthetics. Consistently. He never fell for the size trap.
A bodybuilder is not a bodybuilder but just a thug if he is unaware of the limtis of size for his own particular frame. Once you go beyond that limit - for your frame - you are no longer a bodybuilder.
Good post broski.
-
best calves right now? I would say Ben

on the far left. Erik is in the middle
