Tweak Deadlifting to build calves

As part of his training routine olympic lifter Serge Reding often performed the deadlifts with a calf raise. And his calves are tiny...

Then why can I hit 600lb singles but have the calves of a 12 year old girl?

As part of his training routine ol... I think deadlifts can do anything, so there.

You need to rise on your toes like Serge Reding did to benefit

Get up on your toes when you lockout, and hold it for a few secs. Put the combined weight of the barbell and your body to work


see the pcis above, I've fixed the links

I hear ya man. I can deadlift a fair amount of weight, and I then feel good about myself until I look in the mirror, and see that I still look like Im riding an ostrich! I will have calves someday, oh yes I will...

I will give the calve raises a try, at least for the 20 reps "breathing" deadlifts...

Deadlifting added 12 inches to my penis, and believe me, having my new 24 incher is awesome!

Who the fuck are you?

A little off topic. Maybe try bicycling for calves. I have huge freaken calves. I mean they're monstrous compared to everyone else at the gym. They're large in size, but lack the definition body builders have, but they're huge. I used to ride my bike to school every day from 6th-12th grade. Then ride my bike around town with friends. I'm sure this is what gave me these calves because I don't really do any other calf type exercises.

Does your dad have large calves? Genetics plays a big part I think in calf size

Yes he sort of does. Well they're not huge like mine since he doesn't weight lift or ride bikes, but I have noticed his are larger than other men his age.

Def genetics man! But it seems that maybe the biking did do some of the work.
