I was expecting to see him at least squat once. Or use a free weight.

How the hell do you train "chest width"? Or back width for that matter?

Interesting, those lunges on the hacksquat and calf press are a good idea, dont need to walk around the gym floor with dbs' or a bb of that matter. also the leg press with one foot higher than the other, would be excellent for weak point strengthening, i never did it like that though, mostly one legged, and weaker/lacking leg, one extra set, 2 more reps per set than the right leg.

big calves for sure, i also have big calves, but not as big as his.
i can see why he cant wear boots or reg jeans/pants. i cant even wear em.
