text: sprinters (3,218 ± 400 cm3; Fig. 4A). Moreover, the WSM’s 
  quadriceps femoris was 18% larger than the most muscular 
  individual we have previously assessed (elite sprinter: 3,716 
  cm3). The volumes of the individual vasti muscles of the WSM 
  (VL: 1,508 cm3; VI: 1,336 cm3; VM: 1,088 cm3) were 130–138% 
  larger than untrained controls (VL: 633 ± 117 cm3; VI: 581 ± 120 
  cm3; VM: 461 ± 89 cm3) and also greater than any trained/ath- 
  letic individual we have previously assessed (Fig. 4, B–D). 
  However, the WSM’s RF (453 cm3) was not quite so large, being 
  76% greater than untrained controls (257 ± 57 cm3) but smaller 
  than the average elite sprinter ((cid:5)5%; Fig. 4E), 13% greater than 
  subelite sprinters, and 21% greater than long-term resistance- 
  trained individuals. 
  
  Compared with untrained control participants (n ¼ 11), 
  all 22 of the WSM’s individual muscles/compartments 
  were larger than untrained controls (Table 2 and Fig. 3). 
  However, the differences in muscle volume were extremely 
  variable, with the biggest differences being for the “guy 
  ropes,” which were 2.5–3.0 times that of untrained controls 
  ( þ 140% gracilis; þ 157% ST; þ 202% sartorius), compared 
  with more modest differences such as 23% (BFsh) and 32% 
  (iliopsoas) greater.
