Stop being a pussy and start doing calf raises, 3x15, twice a week.

Don't do anything, you'll fuck up the ankle.

Yes, it will atrophy, but good news, a month after you get back in the calf will be back to normal. Muscles have a sort of memory, so make sure you heal first. I broke my foot and was out of the gym for 7 weeks. whoole leg atrophied, I know what i'm talking about.

>the only thing I can do for my calf is flex it under the cast.

correct, and you should. isometric contractions will slow the rate of atrophy down so do it as much as possible

Let your ankle heal and follow what your physician/physical therapist tells you. One sure fire way of getting small calfs is trying to work them out too soon after an injury which might completely fuck up the healing process.

Broke my left arm once and had to keep it casted for 2 years a long while ago. My arms are generally the same size, but I cant lift as much with the left as I can with the right.

Should've done squats. I believe that the expression is play through the pain.

I snap citied and didnt squat for a year and basically lost no mass at all(sadly).

Youll be fine op dont worry. Let that shit heal.

You've already unlocked the neural pathways, the muscle will come back with just walking probably, you can do cal raises when your healed to speed things up.

Don't worry, let it heal, take your time, you can put the muscle back on very quickly, it's not a problem you need to worry about. Talk to a physical therapist to know when to start and how exercise properly. When it comes to injury, /fit/ is as stupid as it gets, so don't listen to them, ever. There's a reason why moot removed the "Health" part of /fit/.
