Yes I am! Do a search for 'buff guys with skinny legs' and you'll see loads of pictures of how I don't want to look. I don't understand why it doesn't make sense to you.
I started training to look better, bulking up arms until they're noticeably bigger than calves doesn't look good. I'm holding back on everything above the waist due to stubborn calves. I have very wide lats, they don't need to grow EVER. It's my one genetic gift. I'm doing plenty of squats and stiff leg dead lifts as nearly everyone knows that compound exercises are the best. Although my calves measure bigger than my arms they don't really look like it, perhaps because they have a circular cross section and the arms are more oval. I'd need several more inches on my calves to actually LOOK balanced.
That said, I shall take the advice and try eating more and building my arms a little and see what happens.
I have to say that I'm amazed people on a steroid forum are trying to dissuade me from using them. It reassures me that I can trust the advice.
