Old thread…but I wear “long shorts” that end below the knees. I ahve raised my pants up in the gym and had people comment that they didn’t know my legs were that big.

Unless the guy is truly showing his quads off (which is rare unless he is wearing 1970’s tennis shorts), you may be off about that.

I have small ankles but my legs are much bigger.[/quote]

Read: Professor X’s max = 185 lbs.

I had a pretty good look at his calves, and the were smaller than his forearms by a considerable amount. He wasn’t wearing anything particularly baggy. I’m not saying he coulsn’t have, but it would surprise me.[/quote]

Still, big calves are genetic. I know a lot of big dudes with small calves yet big muscles everywhere else. That is why unless you see QUADS, you could be off.

Johnny Jackson, a well known IFBB pro bodybuilder has calves that look smaller than mine. If he wore even Under Armour shorts with an 11" inseam you may not be able to see his legs well.

I don’t think my calves are exceptional at 18+", but I actually got (a rare) compliment at the gym on my calves on TGiving day. Wasn’t even leg day and long shorts, too ;). Pic on TG Day before feasting and football (grainy pic, but you get the idea).

You should lift weights sometime, if it wasn’t for the weights around you. I wouldn’t even think you touched a weight in your life.

That’s because really Professor X is Mike Jones.

look on Youtube for Joel Stubbs.

His legs are awfully small for his upper body.

He still looks amazing though…sick Back.

He had a knee injury. The man probably can’t even squat at this point. Being that tall doesn’t help either.

Is it me or does his legs not look “awefully small”?

true… I even had to stop myself from that kind of thinking when I started lifting.

You make it sound like a minor condition like chondromalacia! LOL

The poor bastard had completely torn both patellar tendons at the same time (playing basketball). Even if the healing is complete, I’m sure he still carries a bit of fear doing heavy leg work.

Apparently, any big guy who doesn’t have legs like Tom Platz now has “awefully small” legs…just so they can say they saw a big guy with small legs.

Well, that sucks. I wonder what he’d look like if he was able to gut check on leg training like he does on his other body parts.
