big girl calves

[fastman]

hey wts up. I saw this girl todayy standing at 5'10 or so with at least had to be 17 inch calves and big quads. Thats pretty big because the girl was kinda thin up top but she had big calves and legs .can someone please explain this? is it in the genes?

[Irongirl25]

I know of SOME genetic "diseases" where people are prone to large legs, but I am sure she did not suffer from that. I DO think calves for the most part are genetic. Mine are 16", i am 5'4" and I NEVER do calves.

gota pic?

Women have the same capacity for lower body strength and muscle mass as men do. I've seen women power lifters with massive legs squat/deadlift 500+ lbs, and that was just in my collegiate team. I'm sure the top female powerlifters can lift much more.

I know you mean well Kane, but all you ever ask for around here is pics of our butts! I for one would appreciate it if you stopped doing so.

Irongirl, you legs look fantastic, keep up the awesome work!

But of course! Either that or a combination of factors, those being genetics and whatever sport she may be involved in. Genetically I've always had a much bigger lower body than my upper body and then when I started speed skating that just added to it. So I had to work hard, almost 3 years of heavy weight training, to build up my upper body to MATCH my bigger, more muscular lower body.

It's actually very common for females to have bigger, more muscular lower bodies (hips, thighs, buttox, calves) than their upper bodies, it's a common body type in women.

Girl you look GREAT! Most excellent! You have a very nice amount of muscle mass and you are definitely NOT fat! I mean I realize you have to be leaner to compete but you should be dang proud of yourself cause you really do look fantastic. And you even have a pretty face to go along with that excellent physique! Congratulations on all your hard work! Don't let this competition shake you, competition or no competition remember that you look awesome regardless! Great job indeed! ;)

glutes are a muscle
on a bodybuilding board asking to see glute pics should be as valid a request as a shoulder/ab/bicep pic

I guess the original topic was girls with big calves.

Personally I really like girls with big calves. I well remember those days when I worked in NYC and sometimes in the morning when stepping up from a subway station, you could see some pretty ladies flexing their calves in front of you ...

Wow, that always made my day.

Sounds crazy, I know

True day... also, big calves is a signing of working out, and not living off good genetics. nowhaimean...

Wow! those are really sexy calves. They balance your legs very nicely !

[sifu2]

Irongirl you look awesome! Jill Mills the strongwoman has crazy calves.

[irish_rogue01]

Well, chalk me up as another to that list. I am 5'9" and have 16 inch calves, and 21 inch thighs. No, I'm not cut as a lot of the ladies out here. But that isn't blubber either. I just have big legs. And really kinda like them that way.

[Irongirl25]

Thanks SIFU-2 !!!
