I got some nice legs and most of it came from running and riding. In winter I would hit the gym to gain that extra bit of strength that was hard to get from running and riding. I lived in Boulder for a while a my legs got huge (for me at least). Why-big long bike rides in the mountains!!! Mountain rides make you a man. Riding up Hoosier pass-bad ass.
However I'd suggest lots of squats. I know most of you guys have a cardio aversion.

P.S. I have those kick ass "diamond calves"-Zero training; totally genetic. Half the reason I went to the gym was to squat and get proportionally bigger quads!

what Corsaire said.
Runners dont just run and run all day. They go to the gym and squat as well. same with soccer players cyclists so on and so forth.
Gentics can play a major role though.
My brother has the upper body of pee wee herman...........but one look at his legs and you would be blown away. His thighs hams and calfs are MASSIVE.
and he is only 18
All he does is play soccer on the weekends and trains on the pitch once a week. I dont think he even knows what a squat is. he says going to the gym is too much effort and he just wants to watch TV.
lucky bastard

Weight training and genetics...
although true that genetics plays a big roll, most well cut and developed bodies are made in the weight training room, backed up by a good diet. You can develop some definition and muscle by just running or bicycling...up to a very limited point, but real athletes need to still supplement their training with weight work outs to develop that extra edge and push (explosive power) in the competitions.
I'm used to be a competitive runner in my twenties, ran a New York '95, participated in a small time triathlon, just to finish, which I did.
You want a sport to make you a real man, train for the Hawai Ironman Triathlon...and finish it!
Another real challenge, where the your whole strenght and endurance is put to the test, summit a Mountain, like I did back in Peru, Huascaran 21,800 ft, pure thin air...anybody have lungs outhere?
Corsaire boarding party....AWAY!
