Bloody hell !
Are they natural ?
Maybe high reps is best for growth !
They arent doing high reps in the gym....my old training partner is the GB sprint coach - lot of very low (1 rep max stuff) goes on in the squat rack.Are they natural ?

I thinking something else must be going on there. Powerlifters/weightlifters/strongmen don't have such out of proportion legs, and those three groups have the strongest legs in the world.

Nah, the guy with the sick arms who then had to have them reduced because they were too big. 28 inch arms or something.Tiggsy said:
Interesting why this doesnt happen in other sports. Rowers dont get (very) big arms/back for example.
The frame could limit that? Quads have nothing boxing them in? Plus heavy squats are the biggest builder.Halb said:

Oh yeah I do remember that guy actually - he was injecting directly into the bicep with some sort of steroid until they got infected and exploded with a load of puss, if I recall.
Gregg Valentino injecting synthol directly into his arms. Ironically, he actually had naturally big arms!

No way are those natural. Won't show up on a dope test either
Sure about that?No way are those natural. Won't show up on a dope test either
I'm far from expert in what one might use to 'enhance' muscles in that way, but I'm generally aware that both natural and synthetic steroids are rigorously tested for, including in off-season, and relatively hard to disguise the use of...

not saying this guy does them as some people are genetically gifted with certain body parts.those quads are ludicrously freakish, reminds me of Tom Platz, completely out of proportion.
I took a picture of some woodwork I'd done yesterday, caught my legs in the shot & thought they looked stupid!
I never train my legs as a body part as they grow at ridiculous speed, they get enough from running & up n down ladders.

Rowing is a bit different in that it is considered an "endurance" event. Having the ability to put out HUGE power over a short space of time, like Hoy has to, is not so useful in an event lasting 2000m or between 5 and 7 minutes.In rowing the muscles grow, but as a whole body sport, they tend to develop in better proportion too. That said, most rowers will struggle to get jeans that fit comfortably round their thighs, for instance.
