Capriese Murray, and Desmond Miller. Capriese was the second coming of John Sherman and Desmond had huge quads with a slightly wide waist. Both of them became sick. The Desmond had kidney issues I believe. Capriese did a men's physique contest.

Baitollahs legs, eventhough midget height, were one of the freakiest ever from all angles (front, side and back). Pd for pd I'd say probably the best ever.

Yep. Tons of 90s guys just never got their due. Like Patrick Lynn and Dave Fisher.

Look good in MM pose, damn good. But his legs always looked a bit rangy and thin in comparison to his upper body. He had long legs for his frame.

Also he didn't maintain momentum, by 2001 (NOC?) he was already finished and looked 60 years old. I don't know the story behind what happened with him though.

Prettiest: Arnold
Freakiest: Platz

Notables: Munzer, Mendenhall, Dorian, Jeff King, Dillet, Demayo, Cutler, Flex Lewis, Schmidt, Luke Wood. There are many not mentioned with great legs.

Ronnie's legs were huge but oddly shaped and his calves ruined it. If he had Calves like Dorian it may have been better but even then the shape of his hamstrings and calves were not ideal.

Luke Wood actually had some pretty freaky legs as well.

Luke:

Some of the best hams ever in the sport

The biggest are not necessarily the best and Platz is a great example of this.

He's the freakiest, indeed, but not the best as they just look ugly. Still, he seems like a totally cool person, just never found anything about his legs appealing.

His intensity was unmatched and who the hell else is ever gonna squat 225 for 10 min straight?

I tried it when I was in my 20's. Don't know how many minutes it took, but I felt like I was going to die. Managed to get 55 reps... my best ever with that weight and I was 100% natty at that time.

Victor Richard had huge legs; but he never stepped on a pro stage. He was a gym bodybuilder.

Samir's abs looking great there. He had good legs too, perfect proportion for his height.

But he's a shorty.
Easy to look jacked when not that gifted in the height department.

Calves look suspicious.
Might be implants.
Not too bad in the hairline department though.

LOL

OMG! Look at the fat schmoe photographer laying on the ground behind him.
Hmmm, I guess every sport has it's share of schmoes.

Never got that many but I did manage 42 full reps with 225 back in the day , natty, around 200 lbs.
Best squat workout for me was 315 lbs for 20. Both efforts damn near killed me

100% natty?

Can you define the other percentages please. I'm wondering how natty I am.

Same here. Never did the 225 test, too late now...

But 55 reps is awesome Mr Anabolic!
