I'm a guy that has competed in powerlifting, trains legs weekly and has a squat between advanced and elite according to the strengthstandards website. And my legs are TINY.
Bad genetics, no calves (and not training calves) and perhaps just not training for hypertophy but rather strength, leaves me with a funny sort of look. In clothes I look 100% like a normal guy. In shorts, friends and family crack jokes about how tiny my legs are.
Possibly it's a form issue. The way I squat is super low-bar so the main muscle groups that get involved are glutes, hips and hamstrings. I really don't ever get soreness in my quads. But I squatted 370 at 165 bodyweight a few weeks ago.
Just putting it out there. Having skinny-looking legs doesn't necessarily a top-heavy bro make.
