"If your calves are bad, get a pair of scissors and cut off every pair of workout sweats you have. You should be tormented every time you look in the mirror, not just when you step in the shower. Before long you will begin working them more and more until something begins to happen to those poor unfortunate underdeveloped calves. They will be forced to respond." -Larry Scott, "Windows of Growth"

He wouldnt be saying that if he were black. Lets see him 'force a response' from his calves then

even they could build them if they put the effort in. 1979 Robbie Robinson focused on his and put an inch on his. they were still shitty, but better.

You would think so, until you have the problem yourself. Sure, they might grow a little but after years of hammering them with everything you have but its very demotivating. They guys that genetically have them dont know how hard it is for the people who dont. And im saying this from 1000s of hours spent on calves.

the whole thing about arnold thinking he had small calves, then him getting advice from reg park about it, i think this is just a myth arnold decided to make up about himself. in the beginning he hardly trained legs and calves, u can see it, people pointed it out to him, so he incorporated it into the arnold mythology

i actually thought i was missing calves genetically when i started training. but i didnt ignore them thinking there was no point training them. there were many days i literally could not walk. now, 30 years later they are always a pretty good size. i trained them in a way i have still never heard anyone talking about.

Any tips Hazbin? My background doesnt make calves an easy growing muscle, seated raises are what has given me whatever growth I achieved.

What I do know is that super heavy standing raises dont work for everyone, and I took Arnolds calf training advice years ago and wasted a ton of time going way too heavy and not stretching and contracting them enough.

Holy shit, he looks great.

Everytime I watch the movie Twins his calves seems to keep growing.

He was in great shape for that particular Julius Benedic role,

Fun movie btw, They should release a Blu-ray with deleted scenes,bloopers, Arnold training during that time etc.

WOOOSSHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH

check the calves here!

Arnold's bushy eye brows in the early 80's are funny.

I'm not saying Arnold used it, but PMMA has been around for a long long time. And is used in more things then you can think of. From dentures, to white cavity fillings, to glass, to airplanes and implants. Arnold was Weiders science experiment. And Arnold looked for every shortcut imaginable in all aspects of his life. Weiders wife most likely knew all about different kinds of implants and for sure would have known how PMMA was being used for female implants.

Silicone was also used back then and is still used today

Rock and Sly don't seem to like training calves.
