Touching Calves.
When you put your feet together(like to stretch), do your calves touch? Mine do.
I'll post a pic tomorrow.

i have so much room - my legs seem set far apart and it's not feasible to put on enough mass to fill up the empty space. here is what i'm talking about (i would have to double or triple the mass):

Just look at the OP's location....
On a serious note, yes my calves touch. I don't see what this proves though - I'll be the first to admit that I don't have very huge calves.

Yeah, look at my location. Nevermind the college that houses 13,000 doctors, engineers, and architects

No...my quads, hamstrings, and glutes are too blasted for my calves to touch. Oh, and I can't put my feet together 'cause I'm way too well endowed...it gets in the way.
/no, I don't want to see a pic of your calves.

To answer the question, yes. My calfs touch. In fact, they often hit water bottle cage on the seat tube when I'm riding.

If two calves touch, does that make them gay?
