sure y'all have skinny calves
post 'em
>pic related not me
Mine isn't that skinny but I'm tall and lean so it looks awful. I'm doing 100 rep ballet raises every morning before going to work and it's getting better looking so far.
>16 inch calves, do 5 sets 3x/week
>26 inch thighs
>everyone says I have chicken legs because of proportions
Such is life post-SS.

stop skipping legday
Work calves every other day. They are strong af but are literally 14.5 inches. I'm 6'0 180. It sucks. Anyone know how to work the inside? That's seems to be the hardest part for me to grow.
>>36579724
I don't. Today is legday btw.

Jump rope?
>>36579802
It depends on your genetics. If your inside calf dont grow, it wont any way, even if u start roids. Thats why even top bodybuilders dont have well developed calves or sometimes implants.
>>36579744
I know it might be kinda against your goals because "cardio killz gainz" and all that, but the easiest way to make big calves is playing sports like basketball or doing something like cycling
>>36579839
Well it's just that I don't know how to work that part. I don't know shit about anatomy, but the outer portion of my calves has grown a lot. I can't find an exercise that will work the inside, though. I have high insertions so I may just need to do jump rope/cycling like the other anons said.
My problem isn't my calfs (which admittedly are quite small) but my long ass shin bone or femur. I am a bona fide anklet and no amount of calf raises will ever fix that.
>>36579992
I'm the same body type as you--180lbs at 6'0". My calves are the worst part about my body.
Have you tried pointing toes out, heels in when you do calf raises? It hits the inside calf more than the other two heads.
how this?
>>36579839
>really guys, it's my genetics! :(
>>36580019
I have a small frame and my legs are a bitch to grow period. I've tried toes out, but maybe I should lower the weight and focus more on the contraction. I literally never wear shorts because of how small they are.

>Brings decent calves into a small calves thread
Can you fuck off, faggot whom has decent calve gains?
>>36580046
did you shave your legs, as a man? you better justify that by being a full turkish pig or you're a faggot.
>>36580188
>decent
that's a weird way to spell "shit"
>>36580188
This ain't no small calves thread, not my fault y'all are chickenlegged faggots
Lol @ you guys. Had to have surgery on both ankles at birth due to club feet, have very little ROM in ankles now and a ton of trouble getting the calf muscles pumped.
>>36581979
6' and 195 btw so it's extremely disproportionate.
>inb4 skipped leg days
Thighs are nice and juicy. Almost makes it even worse.
>>36580188
>decent
Wtf are u talking about
Kinda hard to take pic without a mirror 2bh. Supremely unimpressive due to high fat % etc
My calves aren't skinny at all I work them out every week. 5'11 172 pounds
>>36583089
>unimpressive due to high fat %
mostly due to the nonexistent muscle
>>36583522
Yes, there's that too. In my defense I haven't actually started lifting, still cutting hard af.
so no one in this thread actually works their calves?
