How Arnold really brought up his calves?
« on: March 27, 2018, 11:43:42 AM »
In an old Arnold classic video Arnold commented saying that to bring up weak calves do 25 sets per day

Just something I noticed  :D

His calves were never weak. He didn't really change the size they just got a lot more ripped? Unless i'm missing something.

Can you really bring up anything if it is a genetic weakness?  I think in a 2004 issue of FLEX magazine [perhaps the one where he and Craig Titus were both being interviewed, but I can't remember], Lee Priest said that your weak points will always be your weak points - just bigger versions.

Although Phil Heath's legs and back both seemed to have come up, not just in size, but in terms of proportion to other areas.

Phil besides his lack of width isn’t lacking any body parts, genetically he was blessed to have great shape and a wow factor in terms of arms, even his forearms are very developed

Cormier and Shawn are two others in modern times that really didn’t lack anything (you can argue size for Shawn)

he had weak calves, but they blew up with the help of steroids and training extremely heavy (1000 lbs) his calves allegedly grew to be 20'' (that's huge)

judging by those pics, Arnold legit brought his 15'' calves to 20'' calves, then again no one ever trained harder than Arnold (at least that I know of)

Arnold spent lots of minutes daily....doing a ton of static top portion isometric calf contractions.....while keeping on his tiptoes....trying to fuck his tall mexican housekeepers and nannies while they bent over standing up....over his washer-dryer.

one leg calf raises with a dumbbell in the hand opposite of the calf doing the work. 6 sets x 15 reps twice a week in-between one-legged squats. Medium and heavy weight each once a week after this, doing the same. Cardio using a stepper or whatever the fuck it's called on your toes 45 minutes twice a week. Tren and test combo daily with lots of protein. They will grow!

They’re implants.

I'm gonna guess he never bothered to train calves until someone pointed out that his were under-developed.  Can't really explain the drastic improvements otherwise.

Lol at the suggestion that they're implants .. yeah sure, the world's best implants, the likes of which have never been seen since ::)

I knew a guy who actually had implants in the early 1990s. There was no way you could hide the
scars if you looked. They were blended in with the natural creases right behind the knee but there
was no hiding them. You could fool normal people who don't analyze someone's legs and they wouldn't
notice until you pointed them out.

You can be sure if there were even such a things as calf implants in the early 1970s it would be much
worse. Plus, you can see how Arnold's calves shrunk considerably between 1975-1979 when he
retired. He brought them right back up in 1980. I remember Joe Meeko insisted that Arnold also had
pec implants. Meeko was an exceptionally good guy but jealousy gets even the best of them.
