no offense man but they weren't anywhere near 24 inches, they were probably closer to 20 inches which is still ungodly huge for a calf.

Dorian's calves were certainly 24" there in that shot, he's 305lbs in that picture, offseason 96.

In competition they were likely 22-23".

I seriously have a hard time believing that a 230lb matarazzo is going to have bigger calves than a 274 Dorian

nope man sorry, you obviously have no idea how ungodly huge a 24 inch calf would be, that's like a decent sized thigh, they were 20 inches, still huge.

We have a GetBig member who attended the 95 Olympia....he said that Dorian's calf was bigger than Shawn Ray's quad

If Mike could have removed 8" from his torso, he would have been one of the greats.

Brutal being stuck in Canada, craving Pro appearances and making fun of Mike Matarazzo recovery.

Any pro who loses size automatically "looks healthy".

i'd have to see that because Shawn's quads were pretty fuccking big.

Mike's calves, along with his Arms were supposedly measured at 24 inches at a weight of 275 pounds in the offseason and were said to be 22" in competition, at a bodyweight of 245 pounds. Dorian NEVER weighed 274 pounds in competition form (Mr. Olympia wise).. The most he ever weighed was his last showing at the 1997 Mr. O, at a bodyweight of 269 pounds.

His arms were way too big for his body. They make his legs look small by comparison in those pics. They're impressive but so is symmetry. He also needs lats and thighs. If you're going to have arms like that, keep the rest of your body covered while flexing them because it's likely you can't remain in proportion. He didn't.

So Lee Priest, Kevin Lervone and Phil Heath should cover everything else up

...Because their arms over shadow every other bodypart..

In an interview after his health problems, he said he didn't want his son to become a bodybuilder. That pretty much sums up his experience in the pro ranks.

he is a legend i always loved his articles in flex.

i dont know why he doesnt mc anymore, he was the best ever, he should keep doing it.

in regards to calves...he is hands down best calves in history, he had freaky arms too, bloody huge, however if the rest was as impressive as his calves and arms, he would have won many contests.

Is there anyone who WOULD want their son to become a bodybuilder? Other than Dave Hawk, I mean?

Not sure if it's still on getbig or was deleted. Old news items tend to get deleted from getbig.

Good job.
