how can a calf be smaller then that pic? the muscle is about a half inch off the bone and the lower calf is actually non existent! scroll the pic to the knee cap and cut the rest of the body off, would you think that guy enven lifts or would you have guessed the guy weighed abot 140 lbs?

Yep - they have always sucked.  And they never seem cut (like Cutlers) either.

LOL...  yeah right!  Ronnie's FAR from the worst and if you get a measuring tape you'll find his calves are at least 20", which I think you really know.  They don't have a very good genetic shape but they're big.

My vote for worst calves on a pro goes to Bill Grant.

Yet somehow he got third at Oly06 with a B-grade NPC physique....... shows there's hope for us 65kg geekheads. l0ol

Yeah...slayer is honestly making himself look like an idiot.  Ronnie's calves are probably top 10 if not top five for sheer size of any Mr. Olympia competitor over the past 15 years.

If slayer wants to lose all credibility, denying objective fact is a surefire way to do it!
bro you are off your rocker, ronnie has the top 10 worst calves of all time on a pro , period!
and he has to be tied with all the worst because there aint no way to be any worse then that pic!

maybe his calves improved over time , but in that pic thier pathetic!

after those remarks , i cant take any of your analyzing seriously at all now.totally dillusional!

In that picture Ronnie's calves are pretty bad, I agree.  Also, nobody said Ronnie had among the best calves, but among the biggest calves.  His calves these days are easily over 20"!  They may lack shape and separation and basically be two blobs, but they are undeniably two huge blobs.
im talking this pic, not today or last yr.. this is not a ronnies awfull thread its a this pic of ronnies calves are maybe the worse on a pro ive seen!

Well, if you check Ronnie out from a BDBi or Lspread, his size/shape for quad/calve ratio looks fine. Its just front on they look awol.

Vic wins hands down, highest calves in the world, a genetic defect that should not place him in the top 10 cause his physique looks unbalanced.

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.

No contest!

Definately Johnnie Jackson's non existant calves are the worst in the game:

I think Ronnie Coleman doesn't even have that small calves. They are just dwarfed by his MASSIVE Thighs.

Post by: theonlyone on October 12, 2006, 05:36:48 AM
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.

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.

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.

Vic wins hands down, highest calves in the world, a genetic defect

Not a genetic defect, bad for bodybuilding, whereas the goal is to have bigger muscles, yes. I read in Runner's magazine that having having calves is better for torque distribution while running. If you notice those in the animal kingdom that are good runners, the bones that corespond with our lower legs lack muscle density (ex. ostrich, cheetah, impala..) those that are short distance runners ( bears, lions) have thicker or more muscle density

I think Ronnie has stuck a lot of different compounds in his calves to try to make them grow. They are a bit lumpy and one calf is almost straight when viewed from the front - no belly to the muscle.
Title: Re: worst calves of all time on a pro?
Post by: KevinP85 on October 12, 2006, 04:48:26 PM
Worst- Johnnie Jackson, Dexter, Troy Alves, Gunther, Dennis James, darrem charles, melvin anthony, and Quincy Taylor. By far Dexter is the worst though ;D

Best- Chris Dickerson, Shawn Ray, Lee Priest, Jay, Mike Matarazzo, Dorian, Art Atwood, Ruhl, Mike Francois.

If you ever seen the way he trains calves in his "Unbelievable" video, he does a lot of bouncing, half reps

The biggest cales that i seen on a black dude, compared to bodywight was this guy at Camden Yards, he was the guy sold peanuts, and all he did was run up and down all day long, his calves were huge. Which   makes me think that which black bodybuilder's calves as with forearms one should train with high reps, and less weight.

I'm saying that his calves could definately have been 20 inches at their biggest. I know they are WAY bigger than mine. Mine are over 17. So for someone to say Ronnie's are 16.5 they don't know what they're talking about. Just look at his thighs. those gotta be some of the biggest in history.

so what? he NEVER has. that does not mean he has injected them for his entire pro career.

what is your evidence for site injections other than the fact that they have always been crappy?

answer please.

just becuase you are losing the truce thread in an embarassing way does not mean you need to make up stuff about Ronnie to take shots at him >:(
