Isn't working so far, but I'm gonna keep trying

That's not true. Calves always lagged on me but now I work them every single day and I include 30 minutes of steep incline treadmill 3 times a week and got awesome good results. People that blame genetics are just plane lazy

calf raises with dumbbells

>>37165477

Jump rope do wonders for me during cutting, as it's the best form of cardio while still being heavy effort on calves and lower abs, so it kinda balances everything up for the summer

>>37165459
this looks like a fucking horse

>>37165459
I've actually got the opposite question.

What do I do to shrink my calves and my legs? Wanna run long distance, but I've had the same stumpy legs since I was 8.

Get and be very fat for a decade.

I got morbidly obese and stayed that way until my mid 20s. Lost the weight, still have 17in calves.

>>37165512
nice

>>37165459
The calf raise progressions from convict conditioning 2. I think they are very intelligently programmed

I honestly find it easier to grow calves than chest

>wants to be a better runner
>thinks weaker legs are the answer

>>37165497
what are the others?

>>37165996
Not the anon you asked, but forearms for sure. Although you can still grow them if you try hard enough.

>muh weak legs

>>37165459
serious newfag question here, heard recently calves are harder to overload (makes sense) so would longer time under tension be better, or is it better to do sets of 8-10reps with heavier weight

>>37166052
Jezzus Christ. If my legs looked like that I'd have hung myself a long time ago

>>37166080
Just do multiple sets until failure if you want to overload something.

>>37166085
>doesn't wanna run a 3.7 minute mile

>>37166118
Yeah if that is what it takes I'll just stick to my 4pl8 deadlift

Doubt I'll ever get big calves :(

my calves are awesome and ive only been lifting for a year with a 3 month injury break. but ive been running for 8 years. p sure that has something to do with my insane lower body hypertrophy.

Be fat as a child

>>37165459
Honestly, don't. Unless you really like the look.

But most people just hate it and think that it looks creepy

>>37174383
das pretty impressive maine, take note calvelets.

>>37165459
Being obese for years

>>37173376
Does help, but not the best solution.

how many of you calflets train your calves with the same intensity as you train your arms,chest etc?

>>37174575
i bet none.i stopped working them 3 months in.i bet most people here did the same or relegated them to 3 sets in the end of the workout.

>>37174608
Post your experience + pics s'il vous please

>>37174608
Why do they deserve more than 3 sets?

>>37174834
im a personal trainer so im pretty much at the gym everyday and i see people.
>>37175984
cause you need to work both soleus and gastrocnemius,meaning you need to do raises with straight legs and bent as well.i'd say you need a minimum of 4 sets to get the full effect.

How are these calves /fit/

>>37172289
well considering that many early humans were persistence hunters probably the runner
and "decent" cardio? how fast is your mile, anon?

>>37165644
honestly just run. your body will adjust quickly

>>37176037
Rotating the foot for solid 40 degrees while doing calves will also work the soleus

>>37165477
>>37165624

I don't like running, should I be jumping rope then?

These threads are made all the fucking time with the same obvious answers.

If you've tried all of the above, get yourself some nice heavy boots to wear during your normal day, timbs are why my calves have gone from embarrassing to normal and im so happy about it lmao.
