whenever i see someone with great calves on the street, most of the time, their upper body sucks.
of course there's exceptions but still, ive seen it a lot of times, do you agree?
i'd hate to be lower body dominant

There was this big Neanderthal looking mofo I went to university with that walked on his tiptoes. His calve development was insane. They had to be to support his 350 lbs. frame.

If he trains hard enough, and when it comes to legs that matters, he could come close to the king (Platz).

Guy is a stronger squatter than most BB

any good speed cyclist is better squatter than bodybuilders :D

For better or worse my genes are much more in the Glutezilla area. All the 500lb squats in the world won't give me Quadzilla thighs. Its alot better to be realistic than delusional, especially when it comes to bodybuilding.
"I usually don't say this about another man"....Yea...right???

Then you're probably not doing them right. You're probably doing some sloppy good mornings variation, where your lower back, glutes and hams are doing all the work and your quads barely get anything.
Watch this video of Platz closely, it might help you (helped actually a lotta guys who even lifted for years and decades)

Oh no bro I'm very well versed on foot direction, heel elevation, maintaining a locked straight back ATF squats. My glutes are simply much, much more responsive. Even done Front Squats using 315lbs, glutes still outshine my quads by a country mile. Thanks though I appreciate the advice.

are you black

I've always noticed that as well. MOST guys with good calves have bad shouders, chest. I'm the opposite and would MUCH rather be in this genetic boat.
-
I've noticed some BB'ers w/ great arms don't have much pecs or lats. Preist for example.

Yup, very true as well.

Why do great squaters have big jaws like platz and thorvildsen?
-
Believe me I'd love to have 18" ripped arms as opposed to a 46" butt. But (no pun intended) my genes are what they are & I can't change them. My arms will never be 18" unless I inject 2 quarts of synthol weekly & I'm just not gonna do that. F'ups like "The Situation" & little pretty boys who like other boys do that sh$#. Not me.
I always read about how much larger BB'ers are today & I think that is largely due to synthol, plain & simple. There were huge dudes way back in 1950's they just didn't get much publicity as they looked terrible & Weedy wanted to present a symetrical, pretty image that for the vast majority just isn't a realistic goal.

Wow that Thorvildsen clip from 2002 olympia... just about everything wrong with modern posing right there.
