[LiveRipped]

[John98]

Just measured tonight. Up to 18.5 inch calves now. All natural too. Might even be about 19 pumped. Couldnt believe it when i measured them. Im doing some insane calve workouts and track workouts though so yah.

nice very good exercises

[PowerOfWill1]

Thanks for the post, mostly found the "Tibialis Anterior training with dumbbell" video is going to be really helpful as my gym doesn't have any leg lifting machines at all.

Cheers

Thanks for this. I was looking for more than just seated Calf Raises lol.

[emmamarita]

Thanks man

Through this websites app, I found that a balance board is good for calves. I'm just wondering if anyone uses these, at all and had any success?

I've been doing heavy sets of standing calf raises ending with a drop set twice a week for a month, they've grown! Finally I can think about wearing shorts in summer without getting laughed at

great post for calves

[richardfun189]

Great thread, broski. I love those two Tibialis anterior videos you posted.

i love too

[richardfun189]

bump, more people need to see this!!

yes, i think barbell calves raise is cool

[richardfun189]

If I put BB in front Squat position and do calf raises, will it make a difference since it is at a change in center of gravity?

no big change could be made, i think. i have never saw one workout like it

[richardfun189]

i like the dumbell foot curling video haha, never thought of that! looks difficult to set up tho, like u need a shorter bench than the one youre sitting in just to grab the weight with your feet.. hard to do :/

yes, i prefer dumbbell too

I would love a thread or post about building big forearms. Mine are pathetic. I've managed to bring up my upper arms and delts, but my forearms just can't pack on size, no matter what I do. I've tried high-volume training, various rep ranges, super sets, giant sets etc. but nothing works.

Sure, they grow a bit when I put on weight but they still look small, compared to my other parts.

wrist curl for forearms

[richardfun189]

forefoot running for the best calves workout

what is forefoot? confusing

[richardfun189]

Donkey calf raises are supposed to be the best for soleus development but there is rarely a machine for them in gyms.

most machine have great weight which are not suitable for calves

[richardfun189]

One of the weaknesses of my physique is my calves. I find that most of the leg machines work your calves if you extend from the flat of your foot onto your toes (the range of movement for most calf exercises).
If you go too heavy on the calves then you may have insignificant range of movement.

the bigger range you do,the bigger calves you have

[richardfun189]

I tried out the tibialis anterior exercise last night and it was awesome! Thanks for the post and here's to some bigger calves this year!

tibialis anterior exercise is working too, i used to do some reps after all compound exercises for leg

[5Six]

Can't believe I missed this thread. This is f'n awesome

[domorefitness]

Very useful, it just taught me a bit about calves That's where I need to pump size, the strength is in, the size is not, definition is half there. But this is useful so i'm targetting the right muscles/better muscles and have a better idea what those muscles will do in respects to transforming my calves. +Rep points for you.

[ErMyloh]

Great I'm ganna give it a try I need to work on my calves

[mooshermy]
