I would guess... *not you*.

If your calf muscle extends from the
back of your knee to your ankle, you
may have the potential to be a champion
body builder.

Tell that to Bill Grant.

(And a slew of other successful bodybuilders with high calf
attachments.)

Who Wins Bodybuilding Contests?

If you think that you win bodybuilding contests by taking
supplements and eating special diets, you've been reading too
many magazines for bodybuilders. Champion body builders are
born, not made; and exercising, not eating, enlarges muscles.
Many bodybuilders also use steroids or other banned
substances, even though they will deny that in public.
The best body builders have the largest muscles. How
large your muscles can grow depends on the size of your bones
and the ratio of the length of muscle to tendon. Large muscles
attach on large bones. Muscles that are too strong for bones can
break them when they contract forcibly. Most people have a calf
muscle that ends half way down the back of the lower leg to
become a tendon that extends to the bottom of the heel. That's
why most people can never be champion bodybuilders. If your
calf muscle extends from the back of your knee to your ankle,
you may have the potential to be a champion body builder.
Muscles enlarge only when you exercise them against
progressively greater resistance. Many bodybuilders think that
the more time that they spend in the gym, the larger their
muscles will be. You do not have to spend many hours lifting
weights. The greater the resistance, the larger your muscles
become.

Some top bodybuilders have really small calves. Sometimes they sell
them for their tender meat, or in the case of a dairy cow, they may
allow the calf to grow in order to collect the milk it produces.

Calves are born with a reserve of nutrients in their bodies and can be
underfed for a short time after birth. Restricting the diet assists
the calf in making the adjustment from birth without stressing the
digestive system. This practice almost eliminates nutritional scours.
Hungry calves will soon learn to supplement the liquid diet with
nutrients from dry feed, and thus meet their nutritional requirements.

I hope this helps you in your bodybuilding endeavours.

More often they trade them for a handful of magic sauce.
