    I know how you must have felt man... I too had a similar problem and had been playing catch up for quite a while until now they are just about proportioned... Congrats!

    my advice single leg calve raises...donkey calve raises...reverse calve raises...in addition to my normal standing calve raises...one day light for reps till the burn...the next day heavy for multiple sets of 10 reps or 5 reps till you can't handle the weight...

    I got fvckn awsome calves its my fvckn quads that wont grow worth the shit. If i dont see a impovment in them n the next yr im not ever going to bother doing a bb comp. Iv tryed everything i can think of, i trained them heavy, light, medium weight and volume, even negative squats n still only my ass n calves grow. I look fine with shorts on but when i strip down to my skivies i look goofy as fvck

    That's what I was thinking but did not want to say anything, lol.

    I'm 6' and 195lbs and my arms are 16 3/4" and i'm probably 2% higher BF.

    I find running helps to build the calf muscles more than any of those other calf machine exercises put together. I just don't feel it when i do them.

    those are just my stats...not sure about the BF it's just a rough guess...I really don't concentrate on my arms...well I do focus on my triceps but that's all...I train my calves before and after my workouts and I do donkey calve raises with my wife on my back 1 or 2 times a day I'm up to 70 reps now she weighs 115lbs...

    and if you have a weak point in your calves...ie...inner or outer doing single leg calve raises allows you to point your toes in or out more easily to hit that weak point...
