« on: June 07, 2009, 06:34:14 AM »

But whether the calf training accelerates it? I can`t fin d any serious information about it.
I doubt that Shelestov vould have that varicose in his age without training, or I am wrong?

Actually you can see it on every other bodybuilder on a local show nowadays. Back then even Reeves had them.

Genetic and also tends to occur in people who are in a job that has them on their feet a lot. I think it's due to the valves in the veins getting damaged by blood falling back down against them
