Arnold Heavy Calves Training - BS??

[Erik C]

If anything the above pictures prove the use of PEDs only.

That's because you are stupid. How come your PED use resulted in nothing?

Because the forum enjoys seeing your really stupid answers.

Fair enough.

Fair enough.
 

TY, again!

[The Ugly]

Why did all of you guys, who claim to have shitty genetics, ever start training to begin with?

How would one know his genetics are shitty beforehand? And why would he then abandon training his more responsive muscles on accounta shitty calves?

Silly question.

TY, again!

You're welcome.

Well, young kids growing up don't know yet how their muscles will respond and if they read Arnold did 1000 lbs calf raises I am sure some are going to try to go as heavy as they can. After a few years they realize oh shit that was BS! And why a few years. Because they keep thinking the weight is not enough!

So if you can't do it, it is bullshit? No it isn't, it means just that you aren't strong enough, smart enough to do it right, or just like any other spoiled brat. It is no miracle that muscles grow by hard work. If assclowns like you are willing to do that hard work decade after decade, that is the miracle

Silly question.

I don't know. Didn't you have a mirror?

Why wouldn't you learn to exercise properly, dial in your diet, and supplement properly, to get the results, that you didn't get?

Sounds as though you have terminal case of Fuckingarounditis.

Seems you've figured it all out.

Yup!

ERIK C., Sometimes I run across some damn interesting comments on this GetBig Board and what you said about Reeves and the York Barbell crew was a surprise to me.

I've known or have met most of the York gang all the way from Hoffman and Grimick, down to the lessor recalled Bill Starr who wrote many of the articles on behalf of the individuals who took no part in writing them ... as well as Steve himself...... and I never realized that he had any connection with the York Barbell guys nor was instrumental in the construction of a calf machine of any type.

Thanks, ERIK C.  This kind of info if great  for anyone who intends to write a book about them good old days of lifting heavy things.

PS... Here's a question for anyone who thinks they know this 'important stuff' ..... Name the Olympic Lifting team which beat the York Barbell Team and the year it occurred.  

You get extra points if you can name the team members on both sides.

Thanks, DOKEY and ERIK.

I'm a 'think I know it all' kind of individual so it's good to often realize how stupid I really am and then get to know it all once again in the process.

Thanks for the ed-u-ma-ca-tion once again.

YW stuntmovie. You have made a lot of useful contributions to this forum, unlike most of the know nothing, gasbag, assholes who post here.

Arnold never wrote a book, nor article, in his whole life. Everything was ghost written, and he got paid for putting his name on it. Especially from Weider, all kinds of bull shit was published. When Weider started getting ads for running shoes in his publication in the 1970s, he published articles stating that Arnold ran 8 miles per day. Never happened!

^^
GOOD POINT... Rick Wayne (Editor of Muscle Builder/Muscle&Fitness back in the late 70's/80's) basically said the same thing back in the day, that HE wrote the vast majority of the "Title Winners" training articles,
not all of course but a big percentage...

[YngiweRhoads]

I had zero calves when I was younger. Worked them once a week for 35 years and now they're decent.

Correct! Most publications don't print what is useful to the would be bodybuilder, just what sells their advertiser's products, whether they are useful, or not. Mostly not.

Wow, you are amazing. How do we all get to be as smart as you? Can you please make a thread so we can all learn?? 

I did get my calves up to 19.5" pumped though. How big are your calves?

Of course you have, 19.5" long calves. But dear child, only diameter is interesting, and if that is the diameter, it is more like a forearm of a child than calves of man..

[Irongrip400]

This. Calves are genetic. Even Matarazzo said his never-lifted-weights dad's were bigger. He stopped training them altogether.

I still hit my shitty twigs only because it feels good.

Lol, made me legit chuckle. Mine are pathetic too.

what's your routine, if any?

Yeah most of us have been there I presume.
It is part of growing up as a BB
