OVERHEARD: Two men -- mid-30s -- at 24 Hour Fitness in Hollywood, discussing calves on the abdominal abductors. They were strangers until their love of lower leg muscles brought them closer.

Man #1: Wow. Your calves, man. They’re so, um, defined.

Man #2: Thanks. Yeah.

Man #1: Who did them? Which doctor?

Man #2: Oh. They’re not implants. I don’t even exercise for them. I think it’s just genetics because my dad was a soccer player. He made us do squats growing up.

Man #1: That’s really cool. You’re so lucky. I wish my dad did that.
