    Um, actually I have been told by multiple guys on multiple occasions that they wish they had my calves, biceps, endurance, etc.

    Then again, they were all skinny birdleg types and I'm very curvy on top of very muscular.

    5'3.5" with 14.5" calves.

    Pardon me...

    Hi Dianyla,

    No kidding? So what do you say to the poor birdlegs wishin' they have what you do? I find it interesting that in bike racing they keep the men and women separate. AND since I posted this topic my calves don't seem so huge anymore!

    okay, this made me measure my calves, they're 14" and I'm only 5'2" and I'm pretty sure they used to be bigger when I was dancing all the time. Kinda wondering about my thighs, though (or maybe I should be worrying about my calves) since my thighs are only 4" larger. Isn't there suspossed to be a bigger difference between the two? Ah, who knows. They get me where I want to go over those hills

    OK ladies, are we going to start having to post leg muscle pics? I'm still impressed by bcipam's quads pic that she had up that one time.

    Hey, I'll do it if you do it.

    Hey I'm game!
    I'd think it would be an inspiration.
    Do you want to start a new thread?

    I measured mine a couple of days ago but was to shocked to post the numbers.

    Add me to the sturdy group. I'm 5'5"ish and my calf measured 16.5 as well. Can't decide if this is a good thing or bad. Bikerhen

    Well since you brought it up Bikerhen... my ManFriend always refers to me as a hen and he says my calves look like drumsticks. This doesn't bother me because they do look like drumsticks and I like it!

    Hey, I figure my big calves play some part in helping me climb. They have to be good for something.

    OH MY!!!
    We have a tie for the gold...
    I think it's only fair we "see" THE "Redwoods."

    I am wondering, if any of you have seen a woman showing both calf muscles? I personally have only seen them on guys...From my understanding it depends on how much body fat you have.

    Aww...I just lost my silver....I still have the bronze, though! Or can we do the double gold thing and me keep my silver? Deal? So who has the bronze then? Whew—that will be triple bronze shared by happy~biker, Dianyla, and Sparky. Oh, yes, a mighty forest are we!
