    I thought I had big calves....Trent, put a measuring tape on those puppies. I am dying to know how big they are unflexed.

            Sigh. It's no fun hitting them out of the park when you toss up softballs like that. The joke's so obvious I'm not even gonna bother.

              Dayum...I just measured mine over tights...about 15.25" (so probably under 15"). You gots some serious legs, Mister! Shocked

              Getting the wind knocked out of you is the only way to

              remind your lungs how much they like the taste of air.

                Damn, 16.5" is impressive! All this measuring got me curious. 15.5" here. I've always had bird legs. Tongue Me on left:
                  Big calves aren't good guys. It adds weight to the lever. Look at Kenyans legs, small calves, small feet. The shorter and lighter the lever the quicker the leg swing. Just pointing that out. To the OP. Take a can of paint. Hang it from your toe and lift. You can progress by getting bigger and bigger cans. Resistance band is just as effective.

                    Dayum! So it's my disproportionately large calves making me slow... Wink

                        Mine are big for no good reason. Even when I was a size 2 HS track runner my legs were tree trunk-like.

                          Mine are too. My nick name growing up was "tree trunks", though I never ran until last year. Mine are 18". So much for a Kenyan time, I suppose...

                            Mine used to be normal sized until I started cycling and they won't get smaller!!!

                              I used to have big calves and people would ask me if I did gymnastics (which I never did). Now I think they've actually slimmed down a little bit.

                                How? I do resistance training in the gym 2-3 times per week and have done legs in the past, but my legs just got too damn big. I can look at a squat rack and feel my quads growing, but my upper body lags in comparison. My lower body looks something like a soccer player and my upper body like a boxer (and not a big one). I am so unbalanced. I think it's funny though when the huge gorilla dudes at the gym who have bird legs ask me what I do for leg workouts and I just say "run". They about shit themselves.
