I'm sure your calves are fine...but if necessary you could always resort to high heels.

Best developed calves I have typically seen all belonged to women who wore high heels all day.

I was always told that calves and flexed upper arms should be about the same in regards to perfect proportion.

If that's the case, I'm about 1.5" behind last time I measured them. Sadly they were slightly over 16.5 inches.

Yeah I've always heard that. My legs should also be as big as my waist right! My calves are 2 inches behind arms.

New front end. Went a little custom as the other needed replaced from the hit and run.



Need to drop in some gray sections and the cf lip...just need the paint to dry some first

I think the larger ankles is related to too much soleus work it runs down much further than gastrocnemius.

That's a good looking front bumper and grill piece!

Picked up a 8000 series Bernzomatic torch to sear my proteins after I cook them with my sous vide immersion cooker. I've been using a screaming-hot cast iron pan to sear, but this gets wayyy hotter. Of course this means I had to also pick up some steaks to try it out! 🔥🥩😍

The best part of using the torch is there's no smoke; as compared to loads of smoke when I sear with my beloved Lodge skillet. This is a major advantage for an condo/apartment dweller like myself.

Also, the torch is wayyy hotter than the skillet. This is the 8000 series using mapp gas that burns at 3750 degrees Fahrenheit (2065 Celsius). This power lets you sear the outside without cooking the inside of the protein at all.

One more nicety is its easier to sear the edges with a torch. This is especially nice when your protein is irregular like a T-bone, or just awkward to sear in a pan, like a roast or tenderloin.

This was my first try...

Dude, Im quite sure you mispelled the temperatures, at 2065 deg C all would instantly meltdown, even your tasty meat would become less than bricks of charcoal

Finally got my AC Schnitzer replica front lip.
Only needed a little sanding for fitment.
It took forever (6 weeks) to arrive from China but the price ($139) was worth the wait.
