20+ inch arms and 14" calves
« on: August 06, 2007, 06:17:04 PM »
I was in the gym tonight riding the lifecycle and this massive guy got on a treadmill. The guy had legit 20+ inch arms and an upper body to match. He had very low bodyfat. It was hard to tell if he had legs to match because he had very loose sweats on. Then I noticed he had some of the most under-developed calves I have ever seen. I would have estimated 12" to 14". I mean it almost seems like they would have been bigger even if he never trained them just because he was a very big guy. Has anybody else ever seen someone who was so big but had a bodypart that was so small?

I have poor genetics. So sue me.

And quit trying to make eye-contact with me when I'm hitting cardio.

Yes. a linebacker I played with who's now in the NFL. He had a lumbar disk injury and the radiopathy (pinched nerve) prevented him from putting any mass in his calves/hams.

Use it or loose it.

Stop eyeing guy's legs...

Yeah, I've seen a few guys like that.......usually the just upper-body build.

I do know a guy who has a 19" arm natural. Thing is he has a pinched nerve and his left arm is a shriveled up 17" He looks funny.

It's all about proportion. On a small and narrow frame like yours, doesn't look too bad.

"everyone", you mean the 80% of getbigger who hit the gym once a week and would never  dare posting a pic?

Their "advice" is very valuable...

My favorite are white boy calves...very big, but poor shape and they'll go down to the ankle.  Runner up, black man calves...insert 2" from behind the knee cap...ahha.

In the pro ranks, Dennis Wolf fits that description. His physique is spectacular until you get to his calves, which are terrible.

From the front, very few calves look big. So i dont see his calves that weak as you state.

calves, just as arms are about shape - not size.

there's a ton of fat people with huge calves out there - looks like shit.

same with arms.

and with too much bf there wont be much shape.
