Okay heres my question...I train with an IFBB Pro, and he tells me I have small calves. He tells me to train them every other day. How come I cannot do this with my arms??

b/c calves are used to constant work (walking) and have a wuicker recovery time
BB is 4 life :)

Because the muscles in your arsm are not constructed of extremely dense muscle fibres like the calve muscles are, because the calves are used constantly they are alot harder to break down.
You can train the calves intensely EOD, dont worry about it, but dont try training your arms EOD, they will not recover fast enough and will result in no growth what so ever, you would probably lose muscle from training them to hard too often.
