It's not the size of the legs that counts. It's how you train them. Believe it or not, I have a condition (somewhat debilitating at first) in my right knee known as Osgood Schlatter's disease. It developed as the result of an injury I had when I was fifteen. For the first year the pain was so severe I had trouble bending my knee to walk, much less run or work out. After that period, the pain subsided on and off. I took advantage by intensifying my training. A focal point was of the supporting muscles of my legs. As I eased back into a full leg training regimen, my squat total had doubled in a week (literally). Once I came to college, I stepped up my training even more (helps to vent frustration), and kept placing an emphasis on the supporting muscles of my legs. Now I leg press 1020 lbs. (on a machine--free weights aren't exactly prevalent at that gym). The lesson I learned: if the supporting muscles of the legs become stronger, overall leg strength sees dramatic increases. Now if only the same work ethic would show results for my calf training, I'd really be set.
