Place these pictures in order of muscle?

TR
BR
TL
BL

in that order.

@cookieman thanks. Would you say the muscle difference is big?

TL – evident development in quads
TR – developed calf
BL – evidence of development but picture does not show enough
BR- least definition of the four

In my opinion bottom left looks like it has some actual muscle mass so I am going say strongest on that one but it is the hamstring in what appears to be in a relaxed position kinda hard to say. Weakest is a toss up between bottom right and top left.

All look pretty undeveloped. Being toned does not necessarily equate to strength or being strong.

What’s the purpose of this? Don’t leave us hanging!

@LDRSHIP. (I think I already sent this message but it didn’t show up, I’ll just send it again)

Well basically, I’m the dude in the BL picture and my girlfriend is in the TL picture. We had an Indian leg wrestle match (it’s like an arm wrestle but with legs) and she ended up winning.

Then I did the same thing with her little brother and little sister. Her little brother is TR and 12 years old, her little sister is BR and 11. They both beat me and her little brother used his right leg even though his dominant leg is left and still won easily (I went flying). He claimed he wasn’t trying too.

I was wondering if maybe it was a bad technique I was using or if my legs just really are weaker than all of them. I’m a 20 year old man by the way, so I’m feeling pretty insecure.

@jwherje Interesting! I never heard of Indian leg wrestling till now. I watched couple videos of it and I would say technique is a huge factor. Also having mobility and flexibility to properly get into a good position to gain leverage. Looks like a good deal of it comes from glutes and lower to mid back. Quads and hamstrings too I’m sure you’ve guessed already. But you can’t really take advantage of those muscle groups without good positioning to begin with.

Other thoughts lack of explosiveness from when you start you’ll likely lose every time. There was some video with professional arm wrestlers going against professional body builders with massive arms. Naturally you’d the guy with massive arms would win but not the case.

If your siblings have been more physically active be it sports or whatever and you haven’t. Sitting all day, no exercising etc. Not surprising they would beat you. There are some strong ass kids out there! Haha.

So you want to continue it down further and see where do you find your match? ~ Don’t feel bad..Work on the technique and muscular strength and you’ll be the winner one day!!

@LDRSHIP

We did it differently to the usual way, we did it like in this video here. Skip to 1:10.

So explosiveness wasn’t much of a factor. I was thinking flexibility is a good excuse though! I’m very inflexible and both her siblings do gymnastics.

My girlfriend beat me kind of easily, but her sister and I were really closely matched. Her brother though… I’m quite concerned about about. I put up basically no resistance, he made me do a backwards roly-poly. And this was with his non-dominant leg! I knew they were strong kids (they have freaking 6 packs) but it’s just hard for me to wrap my head around being weaker than someone who I tower over. I guess I should be more physically active lol.

@imrainmaker I think I’m going to get a gym membership and buy some whey protein.
