big calves

[Stacemranger]

I do seated calf raises with 360lbs, 8 45's. It fills up the bar on the machine but it is so heavy. Then I do standing calf raises, 100 reps as recommended by Radar, with as much weight as I can handle. Last time I did 225 for all 100. Works good for me.

My secret method to huge shredded calves - TRAMPOLINE.

10 minutes of intense jumping using your entire legs to explode upwards focusing on full range of motion. Also great for cardio.

Mind you not one of those sissy ones with a 3ft diameter but the ones with the 15ft diameter!

Maybe this explains my freaky calves. I've only been training for a year and I had to lose 70lbs but my calves are still 3" bigger than my arms. When I was younger I had a trampoline from the ages of about 5-15 that I had years of fun with, and also 3 broken ankles.

16" arms
19" calves
26" quads

Cheers 64pilot, what do you do for traps?

Normally just shrugs, but I hold at the top for a good few second. I also rotate them from different positions... then finish with some farmers walks.....My calves are built enough now that I dont need to reallty do them, the farmer walk portion of my back, trap, and forearms day knocks them out.....and keeps them veiny and ripped////However, I should start working the outside of my calves a bit, seem to be losing some size on the outside

I had a huge problem with skinny calves. When I was in high school I got a pair of sneakers with elevated toes. Something like these:

Calves recuperate rather quickly too - hit what Radar said - and smoke them until they hurt.

When I do legs/calves my foot shakes when I have to hit the clutch on the drive home - if it doesn't then I didn't train hard enough.

I train those puppies 3 times a week, I've gaine .5 inch on them lol. Stubborn pricks. Probably need to cut it down to twice a week.

i desperately want big calves, im a fan of trenbolone and i have also got some hgh, will spot injections of hgh help build them up? Any advice?

unfortunately I was born with bad calve genetics, but thanks to my friends advice the're coming out, I work calves 3 times a week each time doing different exercise, you have to shock the muscle for it to grow and fatigue it to total failure. drop set, super set work good for this. I wouldn't spot shoot them though the pain is a bitch and they don't really grow.
