what  are some achilles tendon to calf length ratios for some elite jumpers and sprinters? what ratio would be considered "high cut" calves?

Would high cut calves count as the calf being less than the tendon length?

nah, it's like porn.
Muscles are nonsensical they have nothing to do with this bullshit.

Wow, this thread gave me uber-hope. I've always wondered about this topic, but never thought about discussing it.
 
IMO a high-calve would be one that is or shorter than 1/3 of the length of the leg/tendon.
Lazy kid. Doesn't take training as extreme/serious as most of adarq.org

my take on it is this: i personally don't care one bit because there's nothing I can do about it.

higher calfs = longer tendons = more spring = more impressive athletic performance

nothing for anyone to worry about UNLESS you are into recruiting/picking out talent etc.

in the end, doesn't matter what kind of calfs you have or tendon length you have, you can still perform insane on jumping/sprinting regardless of the build.. i've seen jumper's with huge calfs/shorter tendons who are all power and just fly.

peace

for me at least this topic was engineered towards wife selection...    :D

just kidding    ;D

but i agree 1000000000000000000%
everyone has to play with the cards they are dealt, no sense worrying about what "could have been"


btw kelly the article is really good.  You have a knack for simplifying and elucidating what is often confusing and complicated.

i was just imagining meeting a girl with this in mind.

Me:  Ok so could you just turn around
Girl: um ok...
Me:  nice, nice...oh :(
Girl: what  ???
Me:  its just your calves
Girl: huh?
Me:  they are too low and large
Girl:  (starts thinking to herself: pervert...)
Me:  Yeah I would prefer someone with higher cut calves but it was nice meeting you...  Its a shame really, you were preselected for this date by your ass-- it really indicates an excellent ability to recruit the gluteus maximus but other parts of you were a letdown. Bye

Girl: :pissed:

I have conversations like this with myself sometimes. I'm pretty sure I'll end up having kids with a girl who is physically attractive at the time we decide to have kids; also as (or more) intelligent/high-achieving as I am. I simply can't envision it being any other way. But will she be athletic, or have athletes in her family? Will I care at that point? At the moment I'm sure I'd like my kids to be more athletic than I am and having kids with a chick with better athletic genes can't hurt there.

Current GF is beautiful and is smart and high-achieving as hell but isn't an athlete (used to be a ballet dancer, pretty good but not pro quality). Marriage/kids with her highly unlikely but these thoughts do enter my mind sometimes.

I know you were kidding, but I'm kind of serious...

i concur, lbss's current gf is ridiculously hot.

lbss, it doesn't matter, with proper training your kid will become a beast regardless of the parent's genetics.. i can't imagine how impressive athletically i would be right now if i had proper guidance growing up, with my work ethic + starting young and training properly, it would be ridiculous... i just didn't have any guidance and no "natural power", but the work ethic is there.

but ya athletic women are more attractive to me, sprinter's especially.. i don't know if it's even possible, currently or in the future, for me to have a gf/wife who isn't a dedicated athlete, it just wouldn't work with my athletic obsession :F

If that's the largest reservation you have about this chick then get the fuck over it :headbang: Also, don't try and force your future kids into being super athletic. Encourage them to try as many things as possible and do what they like to do as well as they can.
