The whole “they won’t see your quads” thing is pretty bogus, sure they won’t see the definition but quads that big are gonna present themselves, there’s no hiding that shit.

Bro my mom just turned like 62 or something and her legs and calves are shredded, No joke.Her legs are jacked when she flexxes them they are all ripped and sinewy.I bet if she hadnt hurt her neck like 20 years ago and trained them she would probably be able to leg press a ton.
My fucking dad is all tall and thin with puny legs and I got his genes.
Can’t complain here: Fat man calves, and quads that if they rub together enough can spark a fire.
Give me #1 one. Looks more proportional (even though you could bring up the quads in the 2nd pic)
to be honest I never looked at the quad calf ratio… my legs are lagging but from what I can tell im number 2 thank god for something.
Calves are like forearms, either you have them or you don’t.
the first one and i would move to south america or europe and wear a speedo all day.
id have to choose the first but am stuck with the second in reality which i do not mind at all
I’d rather be 1. Looks like Dennis Wolf. Who really cares about calves. They are like the last muscle to bring down the quality of a physique. I think Fankhouser looks kinda goofy with overly big calves. I would rather have a little too small.
Rather be #2. Thighs are easy to build compared to calves. #2 has more potential with less work.
I wouldn’t want either as is but #2 would be easier to reach my goals.
I like having massive quads. The calves are just a side-effect I think.
I remember Mike Matarazzo saying that if you stand with your heels touching, and your calves aren’t touching as well, then you better get to work on 'em.

Yeah…but Mike was born with those calves and said his father’s were “even bigger”…as if that’s possible.
I doubt Mike could even wear socks if they ever needed to be pulled past the ankle.
I wish I had that problem, but he probably isn’t the best person to ask about growing some calves.

I immediately had to stand up and try this.
I’d go with #2. I like the look of legs that remind you of solid Roman columns.

Lol, I remember doing that when I first heard it as well. Even if it was pure genetics for him, it still put a ridiculous standard in my head for my own training.

First, good luck with the guy on the right trying to do sprints or run fast. LOL.

For Mike or for you?
Mike’s knees could be 2 feet apart and they will still touch.
