    Those are glorious calves! I bet your quads and hams will build up nicely too if your calves are that built.

    First world problems.

    Me and my scrawny calves are a little jealous. I too, have the opposite problem.

    It might be the way you're built and not worrisome. My skinny mother has large calves and it's just a genetic thing.

    I agree, the squat rack should be your best friend. And try and do less cardio where the bodyweight will increase calf muscle size (running/bike etc.) If you want to do cardio still focus on swimming and rowing which involve the upper body more.

    I thought I had issues as I have 36" inside leg. :ohwell:

    thanks, I actually love my calves because they look and are strong. My only problem is my upper thigh looks weak and buying jeans

    My first thought upon seeing your pic was "He must be a cyclist." I say squats as well, if you would like your legs to be more balanced. I have a friend who's calves were always as big or a little bigger than her thighs. I always thought her legs looked great.

    I've heard your bicep and calf muscle should be close to the same size. If that was the case my arms would be massive lol

    Not bigger, but too damn big. Of all the freakish muscles that develop quickly, why couldn't i have had monster triceps or pecs? I thought my calves were just fat, but no, they are big strong field plowing, cotton picking, horse training muscles.

    genetics can be weird sometimes

    Lol I do, I've always had big calves since I was younger from doing gymnastics and stuff and 6 years ago I started cross country and track and it made my calves even bigger but made my thighs a lot smaller
