+ 4 Calves
ad
I don't normally do this, but here's a calf pic from my leg day. Not the greatest, but I was proud, as calves are a bitch to grow. I've been doing squats and calf raises with a heavy bag due to gyms being closed.
It's been 6 years since my last cycle, and I feel I am ready to start back up.

Feel the burn & they will grow...I get best results loading up the leg press & doing toe raises/presses w 500 or 600 pounds! Stubborn as hell muscle
Cplvela0811Those are some heavy calf raises big dog. Stubborn as hell.
Eroid Gang :-)
Cplvela0811All day. I just had to leave an autograph.
Most guys, myself included just don’t have them.
I work mine eod and they still suck.
Cplvela0811If I may, how do you work them out?
Thanks for stopping by mate.
Lately one at a time holding a 30 lb dumbbell.
I go 12,12 down to 5 then 5,5 several times the down to 2 do that till they burn then one.
I call it count down. 12, 11, 10 etc.
The only rest is when I’m doing the opposite leg. Takes maybe 5 minutes.
I’ve had better results with high rep work.
Unfortunately I have high ti ins in my arms and legs.
My arms are a little over 18 in flat but they don’t match my chest, back and shoulders.
Have no idea what my calf measure.
For perfect symmetry they say your arms are supposed to match your calves. Most of us have calves at least an inch smaller than our arms.
Cplvela0811I see. Thank you for sharing. That sounds like a killer calf session, and 18 inch arms are nothing to scoff at.
I don't usually tell people this, but when I do any running type of cardio - I run on the tips of me feet. Not flat footed. It souns goofy, I know, but the calves are forced to pick up, where the other muscles would usually help.

Keep at it my man. Heavy weight out of a deep stretch always helped me.
Cplvela0811I would + this if I could. This is why gentleman like you are essential. Thanks mate.
Better than mine. This body part for me has been a pain in the ass. I’m gonna try and work them 3 times a week. Good job.
Cplvela0811I wouldn't say mine are better than yours, but I really do appreciate your support mate. Thank you.
Molinin302Be proud of your gains, your competition is yourself. +1
On a side note, looks like that big drumstick Henry VIII had in his hand in that painting! Keep pushing big guy
Cplvela0811Thank you Molinin, I appreciate that. I'm currently doing what I can with gyms being closed.
