You have really good calves actually, your medial head is just more developed than the lateral head and somewhat overpowers it.

your spot on , I can't even get my lateral head sore when I train them , my medial just takes over . so maybe some more explosive movements could activate them you think ?
I do 800 pound leg press machine calf raises for like 12 reps, and then much lighter weight smith machine calf raises for high reps 25-30, as my main movements currently .

I've done keto a half dozen times or so . heres my protocol on the fastest way to get into ketosis .

fast for 2 days
depletion workouts (high volume high rep)
depletion cardio (that means HIIT on the spin bike , not LIST on a treadmill)
^ the point of these two is to burn off all the glucose glycogen and carbs you have in your system fast as possible
when you begin to eat again , go very high fat (don't even look at a carb, keep protein low too)

Man it’s like your in my mind, I do almost the same thing. Fasting is hard for me but I will try to do 2-3 days of 16 hour IF. Then I go back to my normal 13 hour protocol.

Explosive training always worked for me. The Gastrocs is mainly fast twitch fibers anyway. The soleus is mostly slower twitch so I hit that with high reps and super slow negatives.

Do you turn toes in and out to hit the different heads?
