Does Yao have the thickest legs?

he's built like me: strong lower body but weak upper body. Ownly difference is he is 7'6" and I'm 5'9"

 

I guess we can't all be the perfect package!

 

Yeah he does have the biggest legs that I have seen. Usually a lot of Asians have legs like that, I have this Vietnamese friend that is only 5 foot tall but his legs are the size of tree trunks.

 

Usually giants have really long and thin legs but Yao is built more proportional like an average height person.

 

your right.

 

for a brief second, I thought comrade Pry returned.

 

It's strange, because people actually think he's stick figure. Maybe, in his upper torso, but below the waist Yao is actually built, like powerlifter or a person with a strong foundation beneath them.

I am going to assume that in his early days, he probably didn't do alot of weightlifting, which is usually decides or builds upper body strength. Another thing, I'd like to mention the strongest physical (muscular) power of someone's body is beneath the waist in the legs. People tend to make a big deal about upper body strength, but lower body strength is much more important. Upper body helps you exert strength, while lower helps remain stable or mounted.

 

Your strength and power come from the quads or thigh area. That's why people say Shaq has small legs, but his thighs are big. That why Shaq has the explosion and the power that Yao doesn't. Look at track people and you won't see a lot of people with huge calves, but the quads and upper body is where the speed and power is generated. I'm just saying.

 

Checkin' out mens' legs now are we?

Yao definitely has some very powerful legs. I wonder if anyone could find a picture of Yao's quads/hamstrings?

That said, anyone else noticed how skinny T-Mac's (lower) legs are?

 

Before someone else does it.

 

Speaking of that, Yao must have a an interesting time sitting in a car.

 

Damn, Shaq looks tiny in that picture.

 

guys with thick legs have thick ..

 

Yao is thicka than a snicka.

 

Robert Reid can bring this up in his segment. Wasnt like he minded talking about players in the old days wearing daisy duke shorts and Earl Campbell thighs already

 

Pants?
