I thought I was all back with spider arms... If he were a country toshi any winning any arms race...

damn, that's heavy weight! Right now for some reason my muscles (not just calves) are responding to ONLY heavy weight, 2-6 reps OR lightweight 15-30reps but anything in-between seems to do nothing.

Yeah, I calve raise more than guys at my gym leg press.

I don't think that is true. I have pretty big calves. What kind do I have then?

I'm not trying to generalize my entire race by any means, but the majority of black dudes I know have high calves. Of course there are exceptions, but most of those exceptions are under 5'9"... I don't know any black dudes over 6' that have really nice calves. I'm sure they are out there, I just don't know any.

[scriptfactory]

I'm referring to the over all look not so much function. I think anyone can have calves as long as you train them hard enough or hit them to respond. Some take light weight high reps and some low heavy. My calves respond to low & heavy. I calve raise 720 pds 10 -12 reps on the leg press.

My actual calf muscles are pretty big with good detail, they are just really high and I don't know if I can make them appear lower no matter what I do.

heh...wot a guy ! setting a great example

So do I. (on the leg press w/back rest) I rep 30 for 1-2 sets with 450 warm-up,,, then I do what I call train in pain (reg parks method)... with 630 or 720(8plates) I rep 10 which I'm right at failure... I'm not going too slow but def not fast and I pause breifly at the bottom... At the 10th rep I lock up the weight take a 5sec pause (feet off the platform) then get back into position and go to failure... sometimes its 2,4 or6... I do three sets like that about 2-3 times a week...

oh yeah I had have high calves... their still high but because I emphasize the stretch my outer calve development makes my calves look longer I believe...

I do the same thing. Deep stretch at the bottom and flex all the way to the top. Maybe thats what makes the difference???

He actually has kinda shitty form on some of his lifts.
