synthol maybe?

affeman · « **Reply #26 on:** June 22, 2011, 06:07:54 PM »

No Synthol. Calves are 100 % genetics. There are people with similar calves who haven't seen a gym from the inside ever.

That's also why it's completely useless to take advice from anyone on how to build calves. Most of the guys with the best calves in the world barely train them

That's it right there/spot on! (sux for those of us "genetically handicapped in the calf department" lol)

Got it. Gotta say though, the 'best' gym accident I ever saw was 20+ years ago, when a guy stripped a 45 off the end of a benchpress bar right onto his big toe. He had on a pair of those old school, white heavy-leather high tops, and when that steel plate hit his toe it turned red immediately - like as fast as dipping street flowers into a warm-water dye. Then, he went white; then, he collapsed. There was no walking that one off.

I`ve seen this happen to three people in three different gyms.......gotta` be careful!

True, but FiveFingers are alright in terms of hygiene it's just that they don't offer enough protection in case a person drops a weight on their foot.

Unless you're wearing cement shoes a heavy weight is going to fuck up your foot.

That's funny, just today I was talking about a guy in town who dropped a 45 pound plate on his foot and broke it. That must suck. As if injuries in training aren't bad enough, let alone with ancillary stuff like putting on and taking off plates. All the more reason to be careful because injuries cost time and progress.

My gym has a requirement to wear footwear in the weight room so some guys who wanted to train barefoot bought FiveFingers but eventually they got banned for insurance purposes. They would probably be good for leg and deadlift workouts.

i think you should be able to wear any shoe u want to the gym. i wear very thin wrestling shoes..i am sure a weight would smash my foot pretty easily..actually if you wore nike's would that save you toes,..NO!. your gym has a stupid rule there.

my buddy got a pair about a month ago. he says they are awesome to wear on doing squats and for deadlifting.

I'm sure they would be great for doing squats and deadlifts which is why I wanted to buy a pair until my two friends said the manager told them they were not allowed. I think they are being strict for liability purposes and I suppose the rules are the rules but I would like to give them a shot one day. I agree that the rule is dumb.

calves are overrated

This guy probably wears shorts in winter, snowing in canada to show off his drug obtained calves

Or not. Matarazzo hardly ever trained his calves, just for photo shoots.

I dont believe that bullshit, he trained them more or less like everyone else does.

Everyone tries to sound "special" in this "sport". I dont train this or that, I eat whatever I want blah blah.

He looks pretty impressive in the above shots. Prob. one of the best lower bodies, currently, in the IFBB.
