hmm, with a deadlift i never had training but are you supposed to lift it and then hold then drop? or do you gently settle it again..

im on a 2 weeks break, and im still feelin lazy. fuck.

have you tried doing calf raises?

yea i know how it is. i wanted to take 4 days off but 4 days ended up a week lol. hopefully ill be picking back up soon but im gonna take it slow from today and just work out 3 times a week to give my body enough time to rest up between each work out.

as for calves go, i dont usually work out my calves too much but ill do some standing calf raises once or twice a week.

[ken shinoda]

i just cant bring myself to do the boring calfs, when i can do more intense work out like chest and shoulders and abs.

ma man fabio scorpion died due to fatal heart attack during his calf implant surgery, so thats obviously out of the question...

[svenska]

yeah, I never work calves. try some donkey calf raises if you don't mind looking like a turbofag

same here.. I never work out my calves because it's so boring.. and I find no need for them to be stronger or bigger anyways

[gimmegimme]

Don't you guys want to avoid looking like one of those guys with a huge upper body and chicken legs? Calves are just as important as everything else.

[kunk75]

by and large, calves are either there or they're not. calves are where genetics hit home hardest. i hit them as often as any other body part.

i like to do them on the standing calf machine as i alternate them with stiff legged shrugs on there.

[sistersuzie]

for once in my life I've been able to keep my routine and exercise at least 3 times a week. (it's been a few months now) I'm really proud of me, but even more of the results!

[kunk75]

i left the office at 4 yesterday, specifically to go to the gym cause i hadn't gone in 2 days. it's a sickness.

[sistersuzie]

^^ haha. It's an healthy one, well, if you don't go too far!

i had a bf in the past that started working out a lot and he didn't have energy for me anymore after that's not good

[kunk75]

^ my wife wishes. All the testosterone makes me worse, chasing her around the house and such.

This is the truth. I have the smallest, shortest calves and they refuse to grow. I work them at least once a week and they can lift more than any of my gym partners, all of which have bigger calves than I do.

[kunk75]

there is a woman in my building whose calves give me a semi. i really want to compliment her on them (the rest is good, too) but it's a tad too creepy.

[knucks]

My calves are tiny, I get annoyed by it, especially when people tell me I need to work them out. The fucks never ever grow.

Another reason why I hate wearing shorts...

I'm going to be one of those swole ass nugs w/ tiny ass calves always

[Leeacto]

No. Don't drop it. You'll look like a douchebag and everyone will stare at you. Just lower your body the same way you came up, but you don't need to go super slow or anything; just control it.

I don't work calves, but mine are pretty good sized (I'd guess 18" or so?). I agree w/ kunk on it being a lot of genetics/luck, but I think I recalled I used to have smaller ones in HS when I didn't lift legs as hard as I should have.

Since you can definitely work other leg muscles like quads/hams to get bigger, would it be accurate to say that you can get your calves to grow by going heavier in squat/deadlift/etc, thus forcing your calves to adjust and support the weight?

just a guess

[JayDC7]

my calves never got bigger by doing raises. although springs (while running on your calves) did show some improvement.

the recent posts remind me of johnny drama on entourage..

[mrchariybrown]

well just like kunk said, calf size has a lot to do with genetics.. and lucky for me, mine, at 16.8", are pretty proportionate to the rest of my body..

but I'm not sure if I would exactly call this "lucky".. I do wish that my legs in general were a bit smaller

[kunk75]

the steve reeves proportions were:

bi's and calves=1/2 waist

thighs=2/3 waist

neck=1/2 waist

chest=1.25-1.5 x waist

calves at 15.5"...idk if i'd say theyre tiny compared to my body but i wouldnt think so...im quite happy with my calves

the steve reeves proportions were:

bi's and calves=1/2 waist

thighs=2/3 waist

neck=1/2 waist

chest=1.25-1.5 x waist

so you're saying my arms have to be 16"? i have an inch to go :[

thighs = 21" inches / 32" - check

neck = 15.5" - close enoguh, check

chest = roughly 42" - eh...getting there...lol

[svenska]

you really want your calves to grow, you push/pull a heavy sled, or a car. anything really.

[kunk75]

try laying off direct arm work for a bit and they'll grow from the compound pushing and pulling.

yeah, sled is great for overall lower body development.

or just get these:

[knucks]

i roll on fucking 15" or something stupid like that. fuck calves, they're pointless muscles.

[jeepster]

so I'm now a member of the tennis team at my school and I gotta get my ass back into running shape. I cross train as it is, so my upper body is pretty well off since I go to the gym 3-5 days a week as it is, but I need to work on my endurance/wind/and general cardio health. Any specific things besides treadmill/general running I should work on? I'm pretty bitch when it comes to running, I think I've only run a mile under 10 minutes once.
