now we talked about hams,lets see freaky quads can get...nobody comes close to paul demayo..no wonder he was known as quadzilla..
-
Anybody know what De Mayo, Platz, Ronnie, Branch tape the quads at? Anybody breakthrough 40 yet?
-
in present day bodybuilding,ronnie coleman is the king of quads..and plzz i am talking about present day and not 20yrs back..no platz pics in this thread
even though ronnie colemans legs are covered,his quads till lok ginourmous..
-

don't know about paul but ronnies legs were measured at 37-38 inches pumped,platz 36-37inches and warren around 33inch mark
-
no one will ever beat ronnie colemans leg size..fuckin huge
-
King of quads is Paco.
-
Lets not forget Cutler. Paco sure has some quads, how does that man walk, seriously?

holy shit.... :o

paco is an alien...

I think the size of those quads are similar. But,I bet Paco owns them the hardest.

Paco doesn't walk. "Waddles" is more like it.

yep..shockingly thick legs..
-
According to Paco, those americans are lazy when it comes to final conditioning.
They drink water. Paco dont drink almost 3 days and he had his tongue dried up and came out blood one time.Insane..
-
ronnies are as close to 40" as we will see, jays were 33" or so at their biggest and as you said Platz was approx 37" at their biggest. DeMayo, Paco and guys like Greg Kovacs and Vic Richards (37") will always lay claim to having the biggest quads in history. As bad as Greg looks onstage his quads have taped out at over 35" for years

i don't believe this shit..haha kovacs legs over 35inches..monster bullshit..ronnies i think at their biggest are 38..i don't believe that victor richards legs being 37inches cuz he never competed and he was a fake ass bodybuilder.i don't consider fat richards a bodybuilder..vic legs were smaller than warrens...paul demayos legs maybe as big as warrens and pacos..jays are around 31-32 normally..33inches at their biggest is believeable..
-
nobody will beat this size.. :o
-
there are pics floating about - ill try and find them - of Kovacs having his quads measured and they were over 35". Vic Richards wasnt fat, look at some of his pics where he is in good condition. His legs were fucking insane, nowhere near as "small" as 32"

Demayo's not gonna be makin' any claims to anything...

this thread ends here....

more..5.....4........3.. .....2.......1..ronnie owns everyone in the leg department
-
quads yes, legs no. His calves are always going to be horrific, theyre nothing but shite stuck to his legs. BTW, EVERYONES fat legs are smaller than those. I remember the first time i saw that pic, i was in denial as i thought nobody could make their legs that big. And he made those gains in 1 fucking year!
BTW, Pacos quads own Ronnie for overall appearance, as do Jays. Ronnie has all the size in the world but his seperation and conditioning leave alot to be desired
-
what a pity ronnie's lower legs look like a case of deep vein thrombosis.
i don't know what's going on down there but it aint muscle development.
not dissing ronnie. he is a freak, but wtf is it with afro american super athletes with no calves? i see these guys are amazing. they can jump higher, sprint faster, everything that you would think need a fair amount of muscle power from calves but there's just nothing there.
then i see some fat ass white or asian guy and all he does is sit on his ass and eat/ drink. no discernable athletic ability or muscle development anywhere else but these fucking amazing cows sprouting from his ankles.
WTF??

what does the word big mean?.......something very huge..ronnies legs dwarfs every pro bodybuilders legs on this planet..he has too much size...offseason or on stage,ronnie colemans legs are massive..considering size,his legs are unbeatable and i don't give a shit about how cut or seperated his legs are,considering the size he carries on his legs,his legs are quite cut if you ask me...all out massive.if you don't believe go and watch on the road where he flexes his legs in the gym after pumping them up..unreal huge,they look like legs of a bull

there is a word called GENETICS that play a major role..white men are known to be genetically gifted with thick calves

exactly, and it seems that the calves (or lack thereof) are one area that can't be effectively/easily enhanced by artificial means.

very true.do you know calf implants are the most painfull sugeries of all..more painfull than any surgery and after the surgery has been done it hurts as hell for a few months..

they never really look impressive to me.
i suppose ferrigno would have to have some of the better ones and his looked stupid to me.

ferringnos calves were 20inches when he competed at the olympia 1993..people were shocked to see how weird his calves looked
-
i know this is a quads thread and i don't want to hijack it but i wonder if anyone has examples of successful calf implants ie ones that actually look like calves.

personally, Ronnie's quads in 99 at 257 pounds are some of the best ever:
great shape, great cuts, huge size:

I think they were even better than his 2003/4 look

Beast & Shadow have both completely overlooked EFFORT and thought. Some of these guys with imbalances have not proven that they've put as much effort or even thought into addressing imbalances.
Anecdotally if Coleman really had covered all bases he'd have brought the thighs down in size a long time ago and worked more on calves. That he didn't bring the thighs down, which was something he could control, shows that he really didn't cover all the bases. This miscalculation could've easily extended to calf neglect and/or innefficient training. The fact that even his muscles have muscles also strongly suggests that his calves have decent potential, if activated by intense & efficient training. Maybe he did train them hard, but not effectively. I always remember Schwarzenegger's story of how he went from mediocre to great calves by trying new things coupled with great intensity.
Too simple bordering on naive to write all of this off as a racial/genetic thing. I'm not gonna even touch any desires here to stereotype. ;D
-
umm, arnold was white and hadn't really trained his calves with any real intensity prior to coming to usa.
yes i suppose ronnie could have brought down his thighs, but that wouldn't have helped. he would have had shit thighs and shit calves.
dorian yates would be a good example for ronnie to follow.
great thighs and calves that ronnie could only dream of, in perfect balance.
or, maybe to follow your logic, it wasn't genetics that gave dorian great calves. maybe dorian was just a lot smarter than ronnie, but i'm not gonna even touch any desires to stereotype. ;D
-
dorian had great thighs?
hahahahahaha
-
I hardly think Yates' thigh mediocrity is something to put out there.
Just like Cormier, "balance" is used as a smokescreen for overall mediocrity. ;D

More guesses.

Jay Cutler's legs when he was 22 years old are better then 95% of all pros today...

i suppose you're about as likely to back up your 'more guesses' assertion as your conspiracy theories on political corruption in bodybuilding?
that's right. didn't think so. guess you're just talking out of your ass again as always.

what about mustafa?

Oh no!we have almost forgotten this crazy quads sweep guy!

dude ronnie colemans calfs aree 20 inches..its basically not in proportion with his legs..dude he does train them hard man..he trained with heavy weights in cost of redemp...i would say his legs just got a tad bigger..much bigger...
-

Great sweep and size.

I agree his quads make his calves look even more out of proportion due to their sheer monstruosity, but if those calves are 20in as you say, that would make his quads 45-50in, and his arms 30in.
-
What about Mustafa's legs? Pretty freaky!
-
Freaky, but lacking separation and cuts. The same old story with Mustafa, once he nails that, he'll clean house.
-
These two look alike.

when you consider that they were this ripped while being 275 pounds they might qualify as the freakiest quads EVER but they never did see the light of stage..

This thread ended with the pics in this post.............with Demayo a distant second.....everyone else including Ronnie and Paco can just stand in line and dream!
-
Obviously the leg development of those in this thread (Coleman, Demayo, etc.) is awesome, but you just don't see the crazy cross-striations on big legs like Platz achieved. Sick!
-
what i think is amazing is that no one, and i mean no one has actually tried to make their legs massive and extremely huge like they would for pec and arm training.
i think we'd see 40 inch + legs if someone did actually do it.
of course no one will because they will just dwarf the upper body.
can you imagine if someone either just trained legs all the time, or put as much work and effort into their legs as they did their arms and pecs?....
alot of guys go through the motions with legs and they still grow huge..many getting to a level and then not training them beyond maintenance routines.
lets take the saem proportionate increase in muscular size as a hypothesis....say you start with a 14 inch arm untrained. and you can get it to 22 or 23 inches max.
that's 60% larger.... or say your chest measurement is 38inch and you can get it to 60inches- that's nearly 60% increase.
you can see that the smaller the muscle starts, the more the % gain you can expect....so starting quad size for normal legs might be 24 inches....you ''could'' expect 55% increase reasonably....so the limit of quads might be around 40 inches.
but if a guy is sporting 34 inch quads then that's only 40% increase.....
interesting...
