Now it all makes sense why after 4 years of natty lifting my calves are still only 15 inches or so.

calves are 90% genetics, 10% hard work
my brother has never lifted a day in his life
he is 6'1 and fat as fuck (like 140kg), his calves are literally like IFBB tier. Despite his extremely high bodyfat percentage, his calves are both extremely lean, muscular and vascular and about 19 inches.
Meanwhile I've done thousands of sets of calf raises, progressively overloaded into the hundreds of pounds. Tried all the different styles of calf raises and my fucking calves have BARELY developed.
They developed some muscularity and separation, but it's nothing like any other body-part on me that's grown from lifting.

calves are a different type of muscle fiber that does not respond well to weight training Anon.
They grow bigger and stronger through constant movements that involve the muscle (running, sprinting, calf raises, climbing, hiking).
a runner is doing practically hundreds of calf raises from step off for hours weekly.
As a runner I have bigger calves, hamstrings, glutes than most lifters I know.
My first time ever doing weighted calf raises I did 3pl8 and within a two week period achieved 4pl8.

You're thinking long distance runners.
Sprinters and short distance runners have extremely large calfs.
We also have to factor in are these track runners doing flat surface or people running up and down hills (which counts as HIIT) running up the hill is pretty much using a power stepper with just calves since you don't lift your legs that high coming up, opposed to taking long strides coming down.

Can confirm
My brothers are ripped as fuck. Never gone to a gym in his life. Weighs 20kg more than me.
I've said I like his calves (full homo) and he was like I never work them, they are just good
