my $%^%$#!!! Calves!

[trailseeker]

Hey all!

Okay, here's the thing. I'm into calves, and spend a lot of time working on mine. Now, i've seen people (mostly men) who when having cut legs, they have this upside-down heart-shaped muscle on the backs of their calves. Now, I have been working like mad to get that and all I seem to get is that long, dented muscle along the sides and a bulge in the back. Are women genetically incapable of achieving this? Grr. I can only do so many calf raises before my ankles snap

just fyi, theres a great calf thread on the training board this am.

yes we can... it can be done with different toe positions when doing standing calf raises or machine calf presses.... there are three main positions (hope that I describe them well):

1) toes in parallel
2) toes together but feet somehow apart
3) feet together but toes apart.

I have the shape... just lacking some size though
