Need advice. I'm starting to look like a chicken. :(
-
Calves, hahahahaha, hohoho,AAHHhhh...man you're funny.
-
I don't train at home but one-legged calf raises, high reps, add some weight (hold progressively heavier things) when it gets easy.
-
I use to used jumpsoles in high school. Run around the block with these things and your calves will burn like a mofo.

yes, mostly Asians and Nords have great calves...all others are either small or filled with oil/plastic.
-
Women do not see calves. Just train arms and chest.
You'll be solid, bro!
-
I just decided to start doing standing calf raises on a block. Not because my calves are small but because they are embarrasingly weak. 9 reps with the weaker leg. :'(

Mind muscle connection while cracking one off

For women bent over bed raises, in doggie.

not to mention it's boring as fuck to train them
-
If you have a training partner Donkey calf raises or one legged raises with or without Dumbbell,standing Barbell raises(good if you lean against power rack,seated barbell raises.... one thing i like is warming up with jumping rope and it works your calfes good. A superset Pre-exhaust is standing calf raise(Isolation movement) and Rope jumping(combination movement). You can also use a dipping belt loaded with plates in standing or Donkey calf raises(if you have no partner).

I have mounted a PC monitor in the ceiling. This way I have to stand on the tip of my toes to read Getbig, thus giving the calves a workout.

If you have a smith machine, that works with a 2x4 under the balls of your feet. (Not under your balls).
If you have a leverage squat machine, just face the other way, and use that front cross beam under the balls of your feet.
I have both at home and use those...
But yes, calves are genetic..

My calves grow the most when I don't directly train them. Just very heavy leg work.

Damn I knew I was doing something wrong.
-
if you have a power rack , donkey raises, probably as good or better than standing raises.
-
if you don't have a power rack you can simply just use a donkey and fit girl.

Calves grow if they have good genetics to grow, otherwise if they have high soleus insertions then you are fucked basically. I have a friend and he trains his calves so hard but they are terrible. He has black man calves and yes he is black. Mine are bigger than his and I train them less but I have a low soleus insertion.

not saying mine are big, but training them makes a difference. If I don't train calves I look like a chicken :D
