: : : : : I have a serious calf problem no matter what I do, I cant seem to put any : : : : : size on my calves. I heard from somewhere that if you shoot Winstrol : : : : : in your calves it may help them grow. If anybody has had experience : : : : : with this please let me know or any other kind of advice would be appreciated. : : : : : Thanks : : : : : Vincent : : : : : : : : Unless you are genetically gifted, which it doesn't : : : : sound so, you are pretty much hooped. Luckily I : : : : received the genes that able me to have ripped 18" : : : : calves without doing any work to them. (It looks : : : : kind of funny because my quads only measure 25"). : : : : Anyways, I tell everybody the same thing when they : : : : ask me what I do. I tell them that they are not going : : : : to grow substantially (unless you use some AS, but : : : : even still the results won't stay to long after : : : : coming off them) so work them like you want to get : : : : them as ripped as possible. When this occurs, they : : : : may grow a little bit, but if they are ripped they : : : : usually look bigger anyways. Try this routine for : : : : about a month and see what happens: : : : : Standing Calf Raise @ 100 lbs : : : : Single Leg Calf Raises @ bodyweight : : : : Seated Calf Raises @ 90 lbs. : : : : Do one set of each exercise without resting. : : : : Rest about 1 minute and do it again. : : : : Rest and repeat one last time. : : : : Keep the weight the same each time. : : : : Good luck : : : : Calfman. : : Vincent, : : Someone who is "genetically" challenged should probably : : get training advice from someone else in the same : : boat that has made progress. Calfman is genetically : : blessed and would have big ripped calves from just : : putting on his shoes (no offence here calfman). The : : routine suggested seems a bit light to me and I also : : agree with Animal about doing some heavy negatives. : : Another Jeff : : I totally understand where you are coming from, but : let me put in another 2 cents worth. First off, the : 100's idea sounds great and I would definately would : hate to endure such a work-out. Actually, I might : try it just to get the boys a bit bigger!! Anyways, : I see a lot of people putting 500+ pounds on the : calf raise machines, doing a few reps, all the while : with a look on their face like they are receiving : a rectal exam from a gurilla. Fine and dandy, but : when I look at their form... it sucks!!! I put it : in the same category as someone loading 3-4 plates : onto the bench and then bouncing it off their chest : to get it up. What I am trying to say here, and : I should have mentioned in my other post, is that : you should go through the FULL range of motion and : do the reps SLOWLY. As for the weight, 100 lbs gets : pretty damn heavy at about the 7th rep. : I think that there is no "superior" way to do these : exercises, as long as you give it 100% and always, I : repeat, always stick with proper form. : Calfman
