You body builder types kill me; who the hell cares how his legs look. I'm sure he's not going through his workouts thinking, "Man, I know my legs are strong and explosive but I really need to put some mass on them so they look proportionally pleasing to the bodybuilding community."

ehh i see what ur saying. i remember back a few years ago when detroit played played orlando in the playoffs maxiell was talking about how dwight is strong up top but if u get low and take out his legs on D that it makes dwight a lot less effective because relative to his upper body his lower body isnt strong. and that was when detroit had ill defense and obviously had a good scouting report telling maxiell to try to exploit that "weakness" if you can even call it that.

Happens all the time. Mad dudes at my gym only hit flat press bench and preacher curls without every working legs or their core. Makes you look disproportionate over time.

He's not 7 Ft. theauxOriginally Posted by 5am6oody72
His legs are plenty built; he's a basketball player not a body builder. He has the best leaping ability of any 7 footer in the league, so clearly he's doing something right. Many guys who are explosive leapers have high cut calves and thin legs; it's just genetic and helps them jump higher since their achilles is longer. They won't be able to build much size there, but it doesn't matter because they can still jump higher than most guys.

That's what I was thinking. I kind of know what OP is talking about and I have seen dude's that look real disporportional, but I don't think Howard fits in that category. Not like he's running around on Keon Clark's legs.

he doesnt have stick legs... if you think he does, than im assuming you have ham sized calves and big legs... besides, size or thickness doesnt mean you are stronger. did you see ray allen's legs??

The irony here is that while Dwight is ridiculously well-built, OP had to have his ******* surgically removed.
Just saying.

T-Mac legs
We all sounding like Charles Barkley on ASW with all this body talk
I've always wondered why white people and most non-black people for that matter have huge calves and are relatively unathletic, while many black people have chicken legs and are better athletes?
Serious responses please.

I'm white and have pretty large legs and calves naturally and I've come to terms with the fact that I will never dunk.Originally Posted by romedadude

It's just not what I was made for. Definitely makes it harder for me to tackle me during rugby games though.

On a serious note. In a body building sense Corey Magette is insane, he is jacked!
Lebron and Dwight have Great nba bodies. explosive legs, strong shoulders to get wide and take contact.
NFL players got tons of dudes, with big calves, big thighs, non chicken legs. AND THEIR VERTICAL is off the charts.
You ever check out the vertical on some of those tree trunk type power lifters.
