My Boy's Calves....

Mike is THE perfect example of a mesomorph. The dude is seriously muscular and naturally athletic. Years ago, he ran a 45 minute 10km (which he didn't really train for, see he was into weightlifting back then), and then HAD A CIGARETTE AT THE FINISH. I kid you not.


I got cocky a few years ago and challenged him to a sprint down the block....

Jake (his son) was visiting us that weekend, and he stood at the end of the block with his hands in the air, race-car style. When he dropped his arms, we took off, and Mikey took off like a freaking torpedo. I was laughing so hard, he slowed down and started asking me, "Oh! Do you need me to take it a little easier for you?" Hahahahahahaha!!!!

Yeah, I have the endurance, but Mike is a natural -- you should have seen him swimming/snorkeling in Hawaii. If he ever quits smoking and decides to take up sport ---- EGAD!!!!!!!

These are his calves with him not working out at all......Unbelievable.

Hmmm. Where's the picture of YOUR calves? For comparison only, of course.

Smack him for me, will ya! Those natural types kill me because I'm not natural at ALL. All is just work for me. Blasted.

You know what, i got calves like that - I call them my man calves and they don't make me fast - it must be his lungs - maybe I will take up smoking:)

Oh my goodness, it is so not fair as to why boys are naturals at this stuff!
