Your calf will waste no matter what you do.
If you get out and about on your crutches, you will get bigger.
I was in and out of London 1-2 days a week, with a 10-15 kg pack on my back.
It did wonders for my upper body.

Hey! How did you end up man? I'm just starting to get back on my foot. I went the non-surgical route. I'm actually thinking of doing some var pretty soon.
i ruptured my achilles tendon on 28 March. Im still in a cast. it was surgically repaired 3 days after the rupture.
even though my surgeon said that the tendon will always stay a weak point, i know this to be not true. i have asked advice from 4 different kinisi therapists, and they all agree that after proper revalidation (rehab) the ruptured tendon should be actually stronger due to added scar tissue.
the real challenge is the revalidation. i start mine in 3 weeks and 1 day. im not scared of the pain, just that i would go to fast (as always) and rupture it again....
i didnt break it in sport (that wouldnt have happened i think) - it was more like a freak accident (i was very drunk i tried to move something by shoving it with the tip of my foot - and that something didnt move as it was stuck .. i used excessive force and snapped the tendon..i know its silly, but we all do silly things i guess)
i dont know about anavar, i but i do know that growth hormone is the only thing that is certified to make tendons stronger. downside is that it's so f****ing expensive
does anyone have some good ideas for the rehab?
by the way, im starting a cycle right after i exit the cast. its only for the upper body (naturally) but if never been huge fan of a lot of leg workouts - i feel that legs are better trained by running, running with small sprints etc ie interval training.
good luck to all
