worst set of calves ever was Tony Pearson, great back and good upper body but those calves blew big time. He was one of the first guys to actually show up on a pro stage with implants, the old f'd up implants at that.

I know I have been out of the loop and tree for 3 decades but how the heck do these calfless wonders ever get a pro card? In the old days if you lacked a bodypart you weren't complete and never won a major show. Ronnie's calves might measure something respectable but the gals have more cuts than he ever shows. Dexter is great from the knees up just like our own Bast. My calves are still over 17 inches and I usually compete with arms, calves and neck the same measurement. Steve Reeves was the same. Ronnie and his peers often have calves way smaller than their huge arms. Out of proportion and good riddance from Olympia title. Jay and Dorian had great calves as did Dickerson and Arnold.

since ive started working out ive always believed arms and calves should be exactly the same size, that called symetry!

thats been my argument for yrs with coleman, no way he should ever been mr"o" with those calves and why jay should have always beat him!

Dammit slayer... get off it already...

Look at this pic... Coleman's and Cutler's calves are roughly the same size. Admittedly, Ronnie's genetics in the calf department aren't as good as Jay's and Cutler's calves have a better shape to them, but there's nothing either of them can do about that... it's just the luck of the genetic draw.

hes not awfull from behind, but thats 1/4 of the equation! its not my or anyones else's problem that ronnie has poor genetics for calves... sorry he should never have been mr o with that imbalance!

all calves aside, ronnie kills jay in that shot. sorry, i know this has been done to death, but just compare traps, hams, glutes, rhomboids, teres, lats maybe not as wide, but condition forget it, jay looks like a refridgerator with legs. damn i wish synthol was never invented, bodybuilders are looking like shit! entire muscle groups are looking like poly filler.

dan-o is right. Ronnies calves are not small at all.

lord if you think they are 16 inches you are on crack.

i'd bet my house they are 20 inches at least.

i wouldve said pearson too.

and that draper pic is 'shopped btw.

For those who say Ronnies calves are 20 + inches. Ronnies calves the size of his forearms if not less. His forearms can't be more than 16 inches tops at competing weight.

No theyre over 16 inches easily. look closer?
