I dont think it has been discussed here before, but who has the biggest difference in size from calf to ankle?

I think at one point (1971) Arnold was the most dramatic ever.

honestly i see regular non-trained people walking around all the time with calves just like that. calves are 100% genetic

I had a friend never done a calf raise in his life had fucking huge calves = mostly genetics.

Those are guys with big calves but thick ankles as well...Maybe Taylor has small ankles.

the nuthuggers are going to hate this, but at 290 pounds, ronnie in 2003 was right up there.

too bad his quads were probably 35" around though..

I agree calves are "mostly genetic", whatever that means for sure, perhaps more so than other muscle groups. However most people also half-ass them in the gym and do a couple sets once a week after a leg workout. If you do a couple sets once a week for your chest or arms they'll suck too.

Sorry Hulk as much as I love ronnie, he's not even close to being in the running. He did have good calves later in his career but nothing comparable to the greats.

Yes both of them have puny upper bodies with thick quads, and have calves that look like 2 but cheeks side by side. And yeah they also have big joints.

yeah, i'm surprised. when i was training i don't think they were more than an inch bigger than that. they looked better tho. my arms have shrunk about two inches since i quit.

You are seriously obsessed. lol.
Only you would try and bring Ronnie into a calves thread. lol

JasonH · « **Reply #24 on:** April 10, 2010, 02:16:07 PM »

Ankle to calf ratio I would have to say it's close between Aaron Baker, Mike Matarrazo and Vince Taylor - all had absolutely tiny joints so the ratio would have been pretty large.
