It was not Tom's genes that got his legs so bg, it was the Joe Wieder "instinctive" and "muscle confusion" training techniques and principles.

Had nothing to do with genetics, Tom should thank Joe for his training tips.

Yes, here Weider is telling Mattarazzo to use the Matrix-confusion-explosive-surprise-system to bring up his calves(this is after he helped him with his arms, as you can see) :

Apparently Joe even can guide the athletes in their romantic endeavours:

No one had such legs in his era, and even now...
Imagine if his upper body was as good as his lower...

His upperbody was pretty good too I think. His arms weren't that good, but he did have a pretty good back. However, nothing could match those legs of his.

I think his upperbody was VERY good too (especially at the 1981 olympia where I feel he should have won), but no upper body can match those legs

Right his torso was pretty damn good but lagged behind his lower

didn't know sex-education for a bodybuilder is different from an average joe, does the book say to drink a shake before sex or something

His arms in 1981 had tremendous peaks, unreal. They grew like weeds between the 80 )and 81 O-everyone was freaked out at how much better Tom had improved his upper body for the 81 O-and I have said this before on here, I had friends at the 81 O and they all said Tom should have been 1st-and the place went crazy when he got 3rd.....

He tore the right bicep in 82, but the left arm was still incredible....in 81 Tom had the best Biceps in the O.......
