    Most people have a harder time growing calves than they do arms so consider yourself lucky.

    I think you still have to work upper body for it to grow....

    I always had good legs and calves until I ruptured L5/S1 and then I had chicken legs for the 1st time in my life. No calves. It took me a couple of months until I could even go up on my tippy toes without using a table to push myself up. It took about 2 years for them to get close to normal.

    I wouldn’t stop training legs completely. You don’t want to be one of those guys. You see him over the cars in the parking lot and think damn he is FN huge. Then as he enters the store you begin laughing, until it hurts, because his legs are the same size as a twelve year olds.

    we are all different, and i'm not clear what "normal" really is anymore.

    as long as everything works, I'd say you are ahead of the game, and everything else can be improved.
