whats a good calf size??

[Crazymank]

Im supporting these huge 17''s right now! haa haa...

just wondering at what point i can start wearing shorts???

17s look a little tiny still, maybe 18's ???

i have 18 and feel comforatable in shorts. bro just look around at other people whn you are out. a normal persons calfs that dont lift is normally realy small when put up to yours and most do not have any muscle def at all.

technically to be proportionate, your calves and arms should be the same size.

but when they are both small like mine, it doesn't matter if they are proportionate...they still look terrible.

i have 17.5's and i feel perfectly fine in shorts at 5'10 mine are bigger then just about everyone i know. Even bigger guys in the gym's calves are usually tiny.

u'd think being a fat bastard, id have some nice size calves. But unfortunately, all my fat is in the mid section.

Mine arent really to big but there 19 inches right now, I think ??? But I have very full, long calves so they look bigger than they really are...

15+ and your good to go

I think it depends a lot on your joints too. If you have thin knees and ankles, 17's should look huge.

I follow the GRECIAN IDEAL every now and then to see where im going.

19 is pretty big to me. Last I measured I had 17 though that may have changed by now.

saudades, i have the same problem you do...

If your arms are 20, you just look stupid with 17's

I wish my arms would get as big as my calves. I love the guys in the gym who never work legs and have huge chests and bird legs. I had a friend who did chest three times a week and never did legs. Looked top heavy and it was actually funny to see him in shorts.

there is a guy at my gym with big arms. I dunno how big they are but his calves are freaking tiny! Like little school girl calves. Maybe that makes his arms look bigger.

I notice he spends tons of time working on upper body, but hardly any time on legs. It shows big time!

 

[Crazymank]

thats why i wear shorts!! haa haaa....

but seriously, i worked legs, just never got the calves to grow till now.
