what do you do to grow calves
Exist.
jump rope
genetics
no lie. one of the few muscles that are really dependent on genes
eat lots of milk and grass
Jack off to gay porn
Isn't working so far, but I'm gonna keep trying
>>37165497
That's not true. Calves always lagged on me but now I work them every single day and I include 30 minutes of steep incline treadmill 3 times a week and got awesome good results. People that blame genetics are just plane lazy
calf raises with dumbbells
>>37165477
This
Jump rope do wonders for me during cutting, as it's the best form of cardio while still being heavy effort on calves and lower abs, so it kinda balances everything up for the summer
>>37165459
this looks like a fucking horse
>>37165459
I've actually got the opposite question.
What do I do to shrink my calves and my legs? Wanna run long distance, but I've had the same stumpy legs since I was 8.
Get and be very fat for a decade.
I got morbidly obese and stayed that way until my mid 20s. Lost the weight, still have 17in calves.
>>37165512
nice
>>37165459
The calf raise progressions from convict conditioning 2. I think they are very intelligently programmed
I honestly find it easier to grow calves than chest
>>37165459
seated calf raise machine until it hurts badly
standing calf raise with dumbbells until it hurts badly
+ be a fatty all your life xF
hope it works. I'm really scared of losing my calves during the upcoming permacut desu senpai

>>37165561
okay fiiiine anon, if you insist I guess I'll give it a try, BUT IT'S JUST FOR THE CALVES BRO
>>37165644
>wants to be a better runner
>thinks weaker legs are the answer
>>37165497
what are the others?
>>37165996
Not the anon you asked, but forearms for sure. Although you can still grow them if you try hard enough.
>>37165967
>weaker legs
Thinner legs. Learn the difference.
>>37165967
>muh weak legs
>>37165459
serious newfag question here, heard recently calves are harder to overload (makes sense) so would longer time under tension be better, or is it better to do sets of 8-10reps with heavier weight
>>37166052
Jezzus Christ. If my legs looked like that I'd have hung myself a long time ago
>>37166080
Just do multiple sets until failure if you want to overload something.
>>37166085
>doesn't wanna run a 3.7 minute mile
>>37166118
Yeah if that is what it takes I'll just stick to my 4pl8 deadlift
>>37165512

>>37165459

>choice between strong man with decent cardio or weak man who runs like a cheetah
Tell me what you would choose, anon.
>>37165459
walk far with large sums of weight on me.
Doubt I'll ever get big calves :(
my calves are awesome and ive only been lifting for a year with a 3 month injury break. but ive been running for 8 years. p sure that has something to do with my insane lower body hypertrophy.
>>37165459

>>37165459
Let's ask the real question :
How do i UNGROW them ? Fuckers made it impossible to find good jeans/pants
>>37173388
Its aesthetic as fuck
Mine.
>>37165459
Be fat as a child
>>37165459
Honestly, don't. Unless you really like the look.
But most people just hate it and think that it looks creepy
>>37174383
das pretty impressive maine, take note calvelets.
>>37165459
Being obese for years
>>37173376
Does help, but not the best solution.

how many of you calflets train your calves with the same intensity as you train your arms,chest etc?
>>37174575
i bet none.i stopped working them 3 months in.i bet most people here did the same or relegated them to 3 sets in the end of the workout.
>>37174608
Post your experience + pics s'il vous please
>>37174608
Why do they deserve more than 3 sets?
>>37174834
im a personal trainer so im pretty much at the gym everyday and i see people.
>>37175984
cause you need to work both soleus and gastrocnemius,meaning you need to do raises with straight legs and bent as well.i'd say you need a minimum of 4 sets to get the full effect.
Calf rate thread?

Making me moist, anon
lmao my calves are huge af, ripped, seperated in the middle and I NEVER have trained them just once in my life nor do I train legs lmao.
I always get complimented bc of my calves
How are these calves /fit/
>>37172289
well considering that many early humans were persistence hunters probably the runner
and "decent" cardio? how fast is your mile, anon?
>>37165644
honestly just run. your body will adjust quickly
>>37176037
Rotating the foot for solid 40 degrees while doing calves will also work the soleus
>>37165477
>>37165624
I don't like running, should I be jumping rope then?
These threads are made all the fucking time with the same obvious answers.
If you've tried all of the above, get yourself some nice heavy boots to wear during your normal day, timbs are why my calves have gone from embarrassing to normal and im so happy about it lmao.
>calves
>growing
Good luck with that
