Curious if anyone else has calves bigger than your thigh. I would love to get my calves much smaller, they measure 20.5" and the biggest part of my thigh is 19.25" Crazy. They are all muscle so its going to be tough to lose any size.

    No, dont have that problem, but perhaps do heavy weights to build your upper leg, squats and dead lifts. This will balance your legs out visually and you'll have stronger legs as well!

    haha, no doubt, you've got some pretty muscular calves. One of my friends has got a similar leg build, his thighs are normal size (not particularly built) but his calves are massive. He's hyperactive so he's always bouncing around on his toes and jumping so his calves are always getting a workout lol.

    I think like another poster said, don't worry about losing size in the calves, but instead just try to balance it out with working on your thighs. But seriously, those are some nice calves :P I want to get mine a bit bigger so they look nice compared to my thighs and hips.

    If my calves were all muscle like yours I would be stoked. my calves are pretty big, but you can barely see the definition of the muscles. I'm workin' on it, but daaaaaamn.

    Edit: I have a thing for muscular calf muscles. *drool*

    I agree with the person who mentioned heavy weights to build your upper legs! Those are some nice calves, no need to lose them, but building muscle in your upper legs will give you the balance you are looking for. Good luck. :flowerforyou:

    I have a different issue with the legs myself, my calves are about 15" and my thighs are roughly 23-24", but my waist is right around 32" - size 32 pants usually give me 3-4 inches of play in the waist, requiring a belt, but are skin tight on the thighs (even with "relaxed" fit). I think if I want perfection I too will have to go the custom route, lol.

    Focus on increasing mass to your upper legs for symmetry.

    If this were yesterday, I would have thought this was a troll

    but today during run club I saw a girl whose calves were HUGE. She herself couldn't have been more than a size 4, so we're probably not talking 20' here but on her frame the calves seriously were wider than her thighs. It looked really weird, and even though she was tiny (and I'm NOT) I felt really bad for her because at least my big frame is more hourglass balanced.
