i think if your calves are lagging behind that badly you don't train them right.

i've never really worked on mine, but i like the smaller, but very toned look of them. from running track for 8 years, soccer for 15, basketball/baseball for 7, mine are pretty solid. i find that running works them better for me than lifting and its more beneficial to your whole body

but i would get implants before synthol. it would be much quicker, much less painful, and guaranteed to look how you want them
