look on Youtube for Joel Stubbs.
His legs are awfully small for his upper body.
He still looks amazing though…sick Back.[/quote]
He had a knee injury. The man probably can’t even squat at this point. Being that tall doesn’t help either.[/quote]
Is it me or does his legs not look “awefully small”?
[/quote]
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.[/quote]
Thats not why I said it all. I just expected a different set of wheels when looking at his back…
This was a pretty entertaining thread. And props to the dude that pointed out “peroneal nerve” damage. That’s what I’m 'flicted with in my right leg. It’s very noticeably smaller than my left. But, I’m finally working on adding size to it. One day, I, too, will rock the shiny “manties” and pose for all to see. And capris aren’t a good look anywhere on any man. I happen to like the feel of the wind blowing on my balls. Yeah buddy…my shorts are that short!

I was once in a Wal-Mart waiting for my friend to finish shopping and I saw a swole dude checking out (I couldn’t see his lower body)and as he pushed his cart to the door he turned and I saw his legs… they were tiny. It was mind-boggling. I was confused as heck as to how he had that sort of imbalance. But that’s one guy out of I don’t know how many swole guys I have seen.[/quote]
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]
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).

At my Japanese gym there is a guy with the biggest upper body to lower body discrepancy I have yet to see. His name is Kenji and he says “fuck” a lot. I think it’s the only English word he knows. Pretty much after every set he’ll simply say “fuck” and put his weights back.
He’s not IFBB huge, but his upper body would probably get a 7.5 or an 8 if he posted it in RMP.
His legs…you’d see bigger legs on an 80 year old shuffleboard player in Florida. Not quite, but close. There was such a difference that I wondered if he had had a motorcycle accident and was re-learning to walk, or peroneal nerve damage, or polio, or SOMETHING…but nope, his friends tell me that he wants to keep his legs small because it’s fashionable (skinny jeans?)
I’m going to try and snap a picture the next time I’m in…

There is guy at my gym like that. He is always complaining that he isnt big enough but im like if you would do some sqauts and work on your legs your upper body could continue to grow. But i have never seen him do any lower body work he mainly does chest and biceps.
