No offense, but I have always noticed that white guys,especially the shorter ones,have huge calfs,why is that?

Question

Most black men and other races, the calfs are small, and on black guys, they have smaller legs. I have seen white guys with huge tree trunk legs, and big calfs (sorry if calf or calves is spelled wrong) and the black men's legs are smaller. Why is that? Honest question, honest answer please.

Answer 1

White guys have more "slow twitch" muscle cells (which helps with lifting and such) while black guys have more "fast twitch" muscles which are beneficial for running, jumping, etc.

(This is not a racist statement, by the way, but a factual medical truth. Neither race is any better statistically or any other way because of this.)

Answer 2

This is not necessarily true. i think your question may contain a sampling error. (ie you didnt look at enough calves).

Theres plenty of white guys who have small calves, and plenty of white guys who have large calves. theres black guys with skinny calves, and black guys with ginormous calves.

it all depends on the training. and the one answer up above is wrong, certain black people have a tendency to build more fast twitch muscle, the bigger, more powerful muscle while the majority of white people build more slow twitch muscle, the long lanky endurance muscle, or a combination of the two.

also, calves are a part of the body that are primarily genetic. some guys (no specific race) can go to the gym once a month and do two sets of calf raises, and the next day they have these massive beasts hanging out of their shorts, and some guys work them every other day till they burn, and dont see results ever. they're mostly genetic.


and the short thing.....idunno dude. i think you based your question on too few people.

Answer 3

♠ I’d be furious if u’d asked us abt our a.s.s.e.s, LOL! No, no offence, quite a normal question!
♣ also notice! Average black is slimmer than an average white; this is demand of climate of our origins; the same as skin colour and fuzzy hair; the black fight overheating this way; the white are to be less extravagant to loose their bodies’ warmth!
♦ besides our women find thick calves and big feet more attractive;

Answer 4

I'm a shorter white guy, and I have the opposite problem. I can't get my calves to look proportionate to the rest of my body. They're too small.

Answer 5

My college is like that too, in spite of the shown fact that it is not merely white youngsters. some probable lifted weights too lots at a youthful age and stunted their develop or they did not have a desirable nutrients.

Answer 6

short people ancestors come cold places where you need short bodies so that blood travels short distances and stays warmer. while tall people ancestors are from hot place where they need taller bodies to circulate blood and to feel cooler.

no offence
