I don’t have names, but I have heard many rumors about it. It’s not like they are going to examine someone about. The most called name for that is indeed Flex Wheeler, there are synthol claims about him in his shoulders too. Even if you know ALL the bodybuilders that exist and know that NOONE syntholed, you really have to bash me for it? How can I possibly examine them? There was a great change to them that it was plausible that they were implants.
Also, can you prove that some other pro’s, like Milos Sarcev did NOT used syntherol?[/quote]
First, synthol is not an implant. Second, you are bashing them by making claims that are unsubstantiated.
I mean, I know some of you claim you just don’t understand why, but if you walk around saying someone is doing something negative when you don’t even know for sure, you are SLANDERING THEIR NAME.
Yes, go look up that word. In fact, since you typed it, it would be LIBEL.
The truth is, you made up that statement based on half known info simply because Flex was accused by one other jealous bodybuilder.
Flex was at his peak before he ever used any synthol in his delts. Hell, in my opinion, that is when he started looking worse.
Quit talking about things you don’t really know about. We don’t need more bullshit spreading as truth.

Mine are over 18 now…which is a huge improvement from the somewhere around 13" they were when I was a kid. They would honestly need to be over 20" now though to stand out like everything else.

We have a bit of a flip flop in our situations then Prof, i think my calves are proportionally a bit big, while you think yours are a bit too small. Honestly…i like em them tho lol.
After instituting my “Double pop” method, and realizing that Calves are the Muscle that you have to Rambo (Heavy ass weight, high reps), My Calves ballooned quickly.
I looked back at some old record books I have, mine started at like 12-13in when I was really thin at 130lb, got them up to 16 at one point around 200lb so 70lb for 3in… I often wonder if I changed how I measured back then because now even at that same weight they were only at 15.5in and they just don’t grow for shit. After my cut they were back down to just below 15in! Definitely very frustrating…

I dont know really, i never measured them for funsies back N the day. I do know that i had small legs though, my thighs are still trying to play catchup with my delts. Yes i was a fat kid, and generally you think “Oh fat kid, he had to have big calves just to move!” Yea, false. I was a fat kid, who didnt care to move. Fuck moving, that shit was overrated, i had my Nintendo/Super Nintendo and games like Final Fantasy 3/Chrono Trigger/Ninja Gaiden. The extent of my moving was to go to the kitchen, and come back. Seriously, in the past 2 years my calves/legs have grown tremendously, like literally, im super, super cereal…
I used to be fat too but only until around high school when I decided to lose weight. I never really thought about calves at that time either but I guess I was too young to get the benefit of “fat guy calves”.

Fat guy calves…I really believe that’s a myth. You’ll find the same number of skinny guys who haven’t trained them with disproportionately large calves as fat guys with disproportionately large calves.
I am not sure if it’s just a myth. But I have seen many out of shape people, most of the times not extremely obese but above 50 yrs old usually and 10-20 kg heavier than normal who sport stunning muscular calves. Haven’t seen many untrained thin ppl with big natural calves.
Maybe forearms and calves just aren’t that prone to hypertropy and are designed for endurance.
