I have high calves  >:( Seems the ecto meso types carry the high calves. I myself am an ecto meso. I have a small waist and broad shoulders. But my calves suck ass. All genetics. I bust my ass and they suck.

Oh ya and im not a midget. Most short dudes are the ones with the giant calves.

My routine


Standing raise   15 - 25 reps / 5

Seated 6 - 10 reps / 5

leg press isolation raise 20 - 30 reps / 8

2 times per week for the last year. Hasent done shit. My genetics are decent also >:(

What's funny is that people bash the old-timers for having "weak legs," but see nothing wrong with so many pros sporting 13" calves. It's impossible to have a truly complete physique when your forearms are bigger than your calves.

No youre wrong. Matt C is correct in his assertion that most black males will have high calves. Those you've listed (you forgot vince taylor by the way) are an exception.

Of course many white people will have high calves but less so.

I can't actually think of any white bbers whose calves are as garbage as the likes of pearson, johnnie jackson, darrem charles, troy alves, and of course the worst if them all bill grant.

Only you do. Quit clinging to your deluded fantasies. Flex had calf implants, ronnie doesnt.

Simple.

Just add intelligence and you'll get it ;)

calves are ALL GENETIC. if you have shitty calves, even training and juicing will not make them better.

It is literally true that if some pro bodybuilders stood behind a partition which allowed viewing only from knees down (so other part of the body visible), many would not appear to be pro bodybuilders.

Agreed.  You can make good gains on your calves, but if the shape isn't there, it will never be.
And yes, Coleman has something in his calves, it's not only muscle.

i posted pics of his dodgy calf size increase, and the reply i got was astonishing. Someone actually said to me it was because he was into his 30's and his calves were easier to develop at that stage of his life! WHAT!!! get a grip people!
