Sup guys, I am 21 weigh 165lbs. As far as diet and workout i am pretty Knowledgeable. I work legs twice a week. My problem is my calves. I have chicken calves and they wont seem to grow. They are cut, just no mass. Is there something I could do other than just heavy calve raises?
Tons of forced reps and drop sets.
search around the forums theres lots of info man
get a big squat, your legs grow, than your calfs will grow
heavy calf raieses 15-25 for 5 sets gets my calfs going after a long layoff from the gym
id say at 165...(no offense) you dont know enough bout diet, get the fooddown, then workout an then grow..
Good point. You are basically forceing your calves to grow. Toe presses after a nice heavy squat work pretty **** good to really exahust them calves of urs.Quote:

Don't over train your legs, you say you are doing legs two days a week?
Once is all you need and then you need to let them recover, might be a case of over training? Try it and see along with the advice above.
calves can be trained more than quads or hams though, so work them out 2-3 times a week. also, i wouldn't rely on going heavy squats to get big calves. look at coleman. you have to torch your calves till there's nothing left every time you work out. and stretch them out like a bitch after each set to tear them more. that's the best method i've heard.
