yes
Yes,I have seen some rare footage of him hobbling around his apartment on a pair of crutches following the surgery.
there was a pic in an old weider mag soon after a.s stopped competing and only his calves looked big. the caption of the pic read arnold still trains his calves hard. why did everything else shrink to puny size and only his calves stayed big. end of story.
bullshit im pretty sure they didint have that in the 70's. about the "hobbling around" video, arnold had knee surgery back in the day.
yates is a special case. all he had was calves
my quads have probably shrunk 3 inches since i stopped training, but my calves only about a half inch. they are one muscle that we continue to work through walking,stairs, etc. i would bet Arnold still does cardio for his heart, and that can really stimulate the calves.
The rumor was silicone injections.
