Calves have been completely irrelevant for many years now unfortunately.

Ronnie won 8 Olympias with these:

Its not a good example to use Ronnie. Every bodybuilder has flaws. Ronnies only real flaw was his calves. Its not that calves dont matter. Its just that Ronnie was so dominant with other bodyparts, that one weak bodypart was not enough to dethrone him.

Yet, when you look at a whole pic of him, they look pretty damn big...what 19s?

Couldn't agree more. Being named the 4th best bodybuilder in the world, while having absolutely zero calf development and dreadful awful biceps is absurd. Just absurd.

Tommy, do you remember when Bill Grant use to get teased by the judges about having no calves before the contests??

at least Ronnie had some size to his calves, they were not a great shape or well defined but decent size. Not out of proportion with the rest oh his body.
Dennis has no calves whatsoever. And he was shaking his head when announced 4th, lol.

checkout my thread about 2014 Olympia Men's physique, top 5 fellas.
Each one of them have bigger calves than Dennis and each one of them is under 200 pounds. Dennis is what, 260 pounds or thereabout, mass monster.
It is hard not to focus on his calves as they are the first thing you notice when you look at him on stage.

It's hard not to focus on any weak muscle (duh!). Every bodybuilder has his flaws (Phil's clavicles, Kai's traps, Dexter's calves and so on...), and so does Dennis.
I respect your preference for the physique class, but it isn't my cup of tea.

Let's all remember who is truly king

I'll just leave this here..

Wow, that's disheartening. Can you do the same for Kai over the same years?

calfs do not alter the 11 mandatory poses that much. Very marginal and he was the most condition guy on stage

Maybe, but...

Bonac was definitely misplaced

Where the fuck have you been man? Havent seen you in a ehile....

Apart from the past couple of days, I simply haven't been posting much. To be honest, I've been drifting away from almost all of the sites I regularly visit...

I got my first smartphone about of weeks ago (hence the new pics I've been posting), and I've used like 30 Mb of my 1 Gb monthly limit. lol, I feel like an old person trying to "use technology"... just fumbling around for a few minutes every now and then before throwing in the towel.

don't want to read all the back story.

We are agreed that there is something wrong with one of Wolfe's calves?

I completely bored and disinterested with the Olympia. The only thing that would change it for me is if Cedric, Huh, Steven Frazier, Brandon Curry, Beyeke, all showed up next year in shape and ready to go.

I'm more upset that he lived with DJ for a year and that's the best condition they could do. He needs new guidance

I'd love to see how he'd do under Aceto...

This, Beyeke and McMillan especially...
