So who's the one with the bigger legs then?

Didn't do him all that much good. Gold went to a Kazakh, silver to a Colombian and the bronze to a Norwegian

So, he has problems cycling, but damn he could lift a semi with those legs!

His quads are ridiculous! To me, they are way too big.

"UPDATE #2:
Scratch that, the quad-beast is a cyclist: meet Robert F?rstemann. He's a German track sprinter, not a bodybuilder ? although he likely worked out a bit to beef up his lower half so extensively."

that was cool.

Now Robert is a different story. The guy is unbelievably hot and his lower body is really nice. That other guys legs though are so unproportional that they look ridiculous. Just my opinion though.

Dat ass !

I googled a bit and found that he is:
26 years old
5'8" (why do the blogs keep saying he is really short?)
198lbs (amazing, I thought the legs alone would put him around 220)
Great personality and married
Does squats with 260kg(572 lbs)
His glutes are pretty amazing too, I found an interview where his police uniform can't quite hide his butt muscles at 23 seconds when he stands up.

dude is jacked for sure esp fora cyclist, thought they had to remain lightweight for speed?
He does looks pretty short tho, pro 5'8 is being generous.

It's almost hard to believe those are real, especially in contrast to his (albeit nicely ripped) skinny upper body. Well, skinny by comparison, anyway. Almost anything would be skinny compared to those legs. They look almost morphed!

Speed skaters also have pretty intense legs, especially for the short distance events. I remember when I was a kid I used to drool over the quads on those guys.

Ah the Olympics. So many attractive men. To quote something I heard just a day or two ago, "Fuck born this way. Men's gymnastics made me gay."

I barely watched the olympics until I happened to see speedskaters. I remember my eyes almost popped out , and I kept muttering "Oh my god, his legs!... they're HUGE!" later I saw the other tree trunk thigh guys- the pusher guys for the bobsled, the weight lifters and anything with the word "sprint". I even remember Eric Heiden complaining that his team USA jeans had to be customized for his muscled up legs.
Seems that sprinting (shorter distances) requires a burst of power to get under way, so many guys have very powerful thighs. This is the opposite of the long distance athletes that need slender muscles to keep going.

jesus christ those quads are delicious.

[an0n12]

The bigger the better and I'm thinking I should start biking more, might help me improve mine.

[ottomun6]

JeffXeno, I also checked into your pic. It turns out that the guy on the left WAS considered to have big muscular thighs ! We can only imagine what he said when he first encountered Robert's gigantic quads ;-)

Yep you should, I remember years a go we had a group of summer helpers on our project. And one of those young guys had some surprisingly muscular legs, not huge, but big enough to make his cut off jean shorts snug on his legs and the teardrop muscle and the lower part of his quads clearly bulged. (In fact, it would be just about comparable to guy on the left of JeffXeno's pic). He told us he didn't have a car but he loved to ride his bike ... a lot. I wonder to this day if he ever got into weight lifting, because I would guarantee he would have massive quads now. Darn I can't even remember his name.

Good idea, as heavy as I am, wouldn't take much of a hill to make for one hell of a leg workout.
