Fat people to skinny jacked. HUGE Calfs

[Thiggins2]

Im jealous.

Can't make my calfs grow.

[koyongi]

Lucky you. My man calves make buying boots a sad experience. Second only to buying pants.

You and me both brother. It doesn't help that I only train them intermittently. However, since it is now shorts season, I'm picking up the volume on them and am beginning to hit them hard twice a week.

ditto.
granted I don't train them much.....when i did, they still didn't do a thing.
it's bad when I envy female coworkers calf definition

[simp3204]

I've had large calfs since I was around 5. I haven't worked them out since I was in the military.

[prodiboy]

I think its more of a genetics thing. I have pretty tiny calves and i've been up close to 300lbs. I think mine are about average for someone thats 242. and i don't really train them other then jumping from for gpp

[zmcdole]

Calves are like boobs on a woman. You either have them or you don't. There's some hope though since calves are made of muscle and you can make your muscle grow. Some more than others.

Former fatty here. Bishes and bros be mirin my strong muscular hyuuuge calves.

But I think they look bigger then they acually are because of fat that's really compact. They've gotten smaller over time because I neglect them like a step child locked up under a stairway closet.

How long were you overweight?

I was overweight from beginning of middle school all way to 2nd year of college (340 was my peak)

[Xuaxace]

I stopped bothering, not that I didn't see results. I went from 13 to 16+ in a year and a half. Then I tended to run out of time when doing leg day, a year has passed since then.

I have alright calves, but I don't train them directly. Can anyone tell me if Squatting 3x a week heavy would work them enough to make them grow or at least not get smaller?

[LT1Squirrel]

i love my calves.. if i didnt hate having cold legs id wear shorts in the snow

My entire Life i've been over wieght i was 250+ for like 4 years up until about two months ago

[muscletraps]

My calves were always pretty bad (15in), but I started training them 2x a week and they got much bigger. Train them twice to three times a week, 6 sets of high or low reps and mix it up. It you make it happen they will grow

[BrazilianLifter]

i know that feel bro

lol!

I love these threads it reminds me of Johnny "Drama" Chase - Entourage

When he wanted calf implants and kept asking people are those real?lol Good stuff.

[austin.j.taylor]

19inch calves here. Buying pants sucks

[ziyedb]

playing tennis is the best calf training

[ErickStevens]

I used to be 300 lb and my calves suck. I got screwed.

[Link815]

Seems like necks and calves are genetic. I don't think I've done a calf exercise since I was 13 and mine are 19+. Kind of like having a 20" neck with no shrugs/cleans/neck/upper back work.

[Torrtrefireto]

Just get fat and then lose weight

[THux86]

I have very muscular but thin profiled calves. For my size and profile I don't think I'd want them to grow any (other than further defining and sculpting I mean)

I am interested in what OP and some of you others want your calves to look like. Anyone care to post an example or idea of their ideal looking calves. It's just out of curiosity, because in my experience peoples idea of the perfect calves varies greatly. I have a friend who has very wide muscular calves that I wouldn't personally strive for, but he gets compliments on the all the time.

I would personally like mine to look similar to a nice set of tits.

Skinny calf club!! Im the mayor of Skinnycalfville.

[Meyerson112]

I have been working calves for a while now doing like 11 sets 3 front calve pulls. 3 sets standing calve raises 3 seated calve raises and a pyramid set of 6 calve presses. Havent seen any change except they might of gotten smaller. I only work them 2 days a week have proper nutrition. No difference sore for about 4 hours after.

[IrdduncanI]

went from 320 to 230 and trimmed all the fat around my massive calves. try pointing your toe in at a 45 degree angle and out at a 45 degree.

[JacobRothenberg]

i have 18" calves and they look like sticks because of my jacked ankles, be careful for what you wish for
