Smallest Calves in IFBB: Dennis Wolf

[dj181]

I think that is calf and forearm thing has to do wit da fact dat they are boring as hell to train! I would much rather do some benches or pulldown than some wrist curls LOL

[Parker]

that is complete bullshit... anyone with an amazing body part has trained the fuck out of it.. they knew it was going to be amazing because they caused it to happen with consistant hard work

if he said he didnt do much for them it was his ego talking.

When Flex did their Big Picture article on Mike, he was pictured with his dad, who had HUGE calves---the mofos were cows. His dad was overweight, but you could see that Mike got his calves from his dad. Now, how much he trained them, who knows. He had consistently stated he rarely trains them for yrs.

True, James Lewis had a segment on the fitshow a couple years back, and he showed how he trained calves, and he trained the shit out of them.

FWIW, I do usually 2 to 3 exercises for calves, seated, standing, donkey, that's it. Sometimes drop sets, but mostly just heavy.

I think that they can be trained different ways. For black dudes, who typically have high muscles, I think high rep less weight works. I think Shawn Ray did that. I also remember when I went to a Orioles game as a kid and I saw this black dude with ginormous calves--but they were high. It seemed that all he did run up and down the stadium stairs---hence the high reps. In college I used to take a backpack of weights and go to fight of stairs in the dorm and do calf raises till they burned. i got better results than doing calf raise machine and seated calf machine in the gym...That reminds me, i still have a unused seated calf machine at my parents house.

I know this pic has been posted before but come on... look at his left calf in 2010. Compared to that his calves in 2007 looked huge  

I think what is clearer is the damage wolf has done since 07  - every muscle group has lost fullness and size, he already has the muscle wasting palumboism like klownmali

even his lower back was better in 07. big thumbs up for GH and insulin damage. dumbass

[EL Mariachi]

i think your overthinking this a bit. most of the time when a body part isnt as developed as the others its because it isnt trained correctly or with as much effort as the othe body parts are.

now on the pro level most guys work out every muscle just as hard as every other.

HOWEVER there are two huge exceptions: forearms and calves.

alot of guys, even pros, dont ever really train them.

spot on, never seen a video of wheeler training calves, doesnt mean he never trained them but not as enthousiastic as with his biceps. What i dont understand is this, lot of big guys in my gym, pro size big, but never seen them train legs,, never squat, maybe some leg extensions once a month,

I never noticed his calves but you are SO right! By the look of how much worse is calves have gotten with a few years of hard training, he has no hope of bringing them up!

[Dr Kincaid]

Dunno Vic might be close

Regarding calf training, who's done calves using occlusion (also known as Kaatsu)? I saw Layne Norton mention it so I tried it and talk about pain. Absolutely insane. I have NO calves so I'm going to give this a shot for a while.

Occlusion training is restricting blood flow like this. Except I put on knee wraps under the knees.

[JOHN MATRIX]

restricting blood flow? doesnt sound like a good idea.

[MaverickMan]

His lower lats have vanished as well.

true caucasians don't have calves

Maybe youre not in the gym every night to know if they train legs

I don't know if it "works" but if anyone has knee wraps try this right now: wrap your knee and below the knee real hard to restrict blood flow to the calves. Then do several sets of bodyweight calf raises with short rest periods. Tell me how it felt. Layne says not to leave the wraps on for more than 10 minutes for safety reasons. Like that's going to happen. I was crying after 2.

[ChristopherA]

His back looks shittier than ever along with the rest of his body, so his calves are a moot point. He will NEVER crack top 5 at the Olympia ever again.

he's toast webcke time to find another great white hype...

[Spike]

calves dont sell supplements or make the gheys drool
