Wolf's calves

[davidcua]

I'm no guru. I'm certainly not a knowledgeable trainer. And, hey, my physique is a hot mess. But I'm going to call NO WAY on that theory. Just no way. The calf has been seemingly cleaved from his leg on the one leg versus severely diminished/atrophied on the other.

If your theory held water then he'd have had to have been hopping on the one leg for it to atrophy just from the one and not so severely from the other, right?

Again, I don't know jack, so take my comments with a grain of salt (or Isoleucine).

Well that's still my theory. ^^

He might have nerve damage in his legs or something that prevent good nervous information in there, or something that reduce blood flow there. Or sth completely different than that. I just don't know that's why I make hypothesis and say that I might be completely wrong.

My dog said Calves doesn't' matter don't believe the hype or Lonnie Teper LOL

Something likely inhibited the range of motion.

His range of motion at the bottom of movements should be fine because he squats well and that all comes from the front/upper ankle, but maybe the top of the range and the contraction is limited because of damage from injections gone wrong around 2007/2008. Another possibility is a prolapsed disc issue, which might also speak to his mediocre lower lat development. Discs can cause issues from head to toe. I'm referring to nerve damage and contraction issues again.

Lots of guys had poor calves, from Loui to Robbie Rob to Dex. You can go on and on. But Curt James is right, Wolf, unlike those guys, DID have decent lower legs and they've been diminishing since around the 2007 Olympia, so there's an issue there that goes beyond genetics and training.

Actually you can go back to 2008 and Wolf's calves looked their all-time worst before he started prep. I think there was an incident or injury sometime between the 2007 Olympia and early summer 2008. I honestly think he worked really hard just to get back what he has now.

Just throwing more things out there.

And I'm not trying to be disrespectful to Wolf. It's just so noticeable. Was curious if there was something on the record.

Who's the female bodybuilder whose one calf was decimated? I'll think of her name. She had varicose veins or that vein mass removed at some point. Like granite but a clear deficit in that one calf.

Again, no disrespect intended. They have remarkable physiques but lost a body part along the way.

While I've never had any of the bodyparts. Lol

Did he suffer a broken leg or nerve damage? There has to be a reason for his diminished calves, especially the one which is nearly nonexistent. :-(

He had calves years ago.

It looks like nerve damage caused by injecting steroids or seo, similar to Colemans lat, the muscle then does not contract that's my 2 cents curt

Curt work with me and I will give you the Rock Protocol !
Serious I'm pretty sure I can make you gain 12lbs at least in 3 months with very little training, feeling awesome, strong and rejuvenated.

The whole Arnold thing is pretty far-fetched. So the story goes that people bug him about his calves, so he leaves the country for the off-season, trains them every day and comes back looking like bricks grew on to the back of his legs. I guess I'm saying I don't really buy it and not many of his peers did either.

What are you implying?

Bottom line is his calves were not good when he was young, he trained them hard and they became great, not over a summer but over years. Next thing you will be implying is we never landed on the Moon.

Calves takes FOREVER to improve!

[Poker face Ace]

It's never enough for him so he used synthol and made a recipe for disaster

Mine were 16.5 at 14 years old so I would not know.

I have big calves. So does my dad. Hint hint: starts w a g

Are you implying that you don't know what I'm implying?

So if Arnold went to South Africa and Reg Park showed him how to grow calves the legitimate way, then why didn't Arnold seek out advices on hamstring development to catch up with his newfound calf glory?

Germans and Austrians are well-known for their sudden calf development. So are Lou Ferrigno and Tony Pearson.

Dennis Wolf has humility.

And Flex Wheeler had the perfect esiclene/synthol formula down pat.
