Answers:
vert jump, long jump, fast twitch motion such as sprinting!. All of those are great characteristics for sports, having large calfs doesn't mean you're neccesarily going to excel in those areas though!. Most likely he has a significantly larger upper body because of weight lifting, a lot of people tend to ignore their lower body for whatever reason and just work on the pectorals/biceps/triceps etc!. You should be happy your lower body is big, the legs do most of the work in almost every sport, swinging in baseball, running in football, jumping in basketball etc!. And also through my experience the upper body is easier to build than the lower body!.Www@Answer-Health@Com
its most likely genetic!. Calf muscle make you have a bigger spring!.Www@Answer-Health@Com
