In his defense, some of the very best bodybuilders didn't have calves

In his defense, everything went downhill since 2007, not just his calves. He just kept em in proportion.

[regmac]

Sad I never noticed his calves.

johnnie jackson is vying for top spot

[Croatch]

Gotta love when these guys are running who knows what drugs and can't even build mediocre calves...haha, love it.

calves are 100% genetic

[tbombz]

calves arent just all genetic.. sure that affects it... but alot of guys just never train them.

im sure wolf and the dozens of other top pros with weak calves have weak calves because they just never thought to train them

You can be sure that a Wolf trained his calves a 1000 times more often and harder than a Matarazzo. Matarazzo or Fankhouser were born with their calves, they never did anything special to them, so was Wolf.

exactly.
matarazzo even said he barely trained them at all, and that his dad had the same calves and never even trained at all.

[tbombz]

i think your overthinking this a bit. most of the time when a body part isnt as developed as the others its because it isnt trained correctly or with as much effort as the othe body parts are.

now on the pro level most guys work out every muscle just as hard as every other.

HOWEVER there are two huge exceptions: forearms and calves.

alot of guys, even pros, dont ever really train them.

that is complete bullshit... anyone with an amazing body part has trained the fuck out of it.. they knew it was going to be amazing because they caused it to happen with consistant hard work

if he said he didnt do much for them it was his ego talking.

im sure the potbellied middle-aged men and chinese women you can see walking around with incredible calves put in 'consistent hard training' to develop them

Exactly. Everything is cookie cutter amongst pros and gets targeted with variety of exercises, except you can't say that with calves and forearms. It's a grand coincidence that these two body parts also are supposed to be more genetically affected body parts.

Put those people in bed for 2 months and let see if those inredibly shaped huge muscles are still there after that...

whats your point? your entire body will wither if you are bedridden for months.

[jwb]

looks like the inside head of his left calf has been torn.

So are you telling us that muscle needs some kind of stimulation to keep it's current size? So it isn't magically there after all but it has a purpose for being there.  I think we are getting somewhere...

[Hulkotron]

I find it hard to believe that a professional bodybuilder doesn't train his calves hard.  I mean isn't that kind of his whole job?  And you know he must be conscious of it.  I actually kind of respect guys like Wolf and JJ who clearly don't have any funny business going on with their calves.
