Thigh and Calf Proportions Questions?

[ArkansasRob]

Measured thigh and calf muscles
Im 6-2 189
upper thigh is 23.5 and above knee is 17.5 That doesn't seem right
How do I increase lower thighs
Also I have 16 inch calf muscles and would like 17 or 18
How do I increase their size

You can basic things to Calfs like Raises and Walking Calf Raises.

I'm not sure what you're referring too with the Thighs thing. If you're looking for more muscle size and depth around the Knee area, as opposed to just below the Obliques and Rectus Abdominus, you will find it harder to do that.

I looked up the muscle names.
Vastus Medialus
and Vustus Laterialus
Right above your knee

Yes, they are the two at the base of the Quads.

Squats should do it. Normal, Sumo or Box type should suffice.

You can also do forward Lunges. Normally with Lunges for the Hamstrings, you would plant one Leg infront of the other and use a kneeling type motion on the back Leg, then take it back to the start position.

With Forward Lunges, you plant one Leg behind the other, then lean into the front Leg, so the Leg initially should be around a straight 45 degree slant, then leaning in creates a 90 degree bend on the Knee, then take it back to the start position.

You can also do Side Lunges which should work the Quads. You place one Leg in a normal position, then move the other one 90 degrees to the first one and lean into it, like you would with the Forward Lunges, then take it back to the start position.

You might find Step-Ups work too.
