My Calves grew half an inch, and I haven't trained in 3 weeks

[BigAndy69]

I just started a new job a month ago(Kitchen Manager), and since I'm standing 8-9hours at a time, my feet and lower back were to sore to train my legs. I stopped for 3 weeks, and my calves grew nearly half an inch!!!

All those calf raises and supersetting with donkey calf raises, going fast, going slow... Nothing grew my calves better than this job did.

Just thought I would share.

I bet if you bought those strength shoes and wore them the whole time at work you would gain even more. I think I saw Kramer do this on Seinfeld.

If you've ever worked in a kitchen, you would know how slippery and digusting the floor is. You only wear shoes that you would throw away, never any good shoes.

Just a thought, but maybe your calves were overtrained and the three weeks off allowed them to grow

Yeah, I thought of that possibility too, Zyg, but my calves were under constant pressure from standing 8-9 hours, 4-5 times a week. If anything, they should be overtrained.

This was my routine:

Donkey Calf raises supersetted with machine calves raises, 3 sets each: total of 6 sets.

I´m shure that´s the reason....it hapened to me also.
