Been lifting for 5 years now Stopped training my calves 1 year

I've been doing seated calve raises superset with lateral raises and I've seem some results.

That's like saying that doing barbell shrugs won't make your traps grow

Stop this meme

That's because stationary calf excercises are a meme.

Wanna get big calves? Jump, a lot.

How long have you been lifting?

I literally trained my calves for 4 years straight, and was consistently progressively overloading in all rep ranges.

Speaking of BB Shrugs, I only do them for balance in pulling/pushing for traps. They never really built my traps like BTN presses did.

looks like they have an extra pair of ballsack on each leg

Training calves: lots of repetitions, 100-200. Maybe twice as much. Daily or every second day.
Weight; you decide.

The key to training anything is volume.
Calves just need a ridiculous high amount of volume.
See how many sets to failure you do per week, and increase that until you get results.

6' 1" with 17.5" calves here (same as my neck), not sure how average that is but I have fairly thin ankles and wrists which helps make things look bigger.

Get really, really fat.

You'll get super calves because something has to support that much body weight when walking.

Those are some great looking legs holy shit. Which one would you guys prefer? I think I'd like the far right tbqh

Calves are highly genetics, likewise with forearms. This is why you see fat people with huge calves

>>39224337
Far rights calves are thicker than his thigh lol

ITT (and everywhere else)

>people with shit calf genetics expressing how you can only make VERY limited gains

>gurus with 'one weird trick' that don't have shit calf genetics

off topic but, does it really matter?
large, huge calves are unaestheitc imo

>>39222478
ok OP here's what I know

if you have high insertions (sprinter calf) stop training calves it's a waste of time for you

if genetics have not cucked you in this fashion, train caves with heavy standing raises (slowly, do not even remotely bounce, pause at top and bottom)

then hit some seated calf stuff for higher reps

note the achillies tendon stores an enormous amount of elastic energy, so you can heave some serious weight with calf raises, but this defeats the purpose

>>39225788
Pretty much this.

The pause at the top of each rep (calf raises) takes away the help from the achilles.

Calves respond to lifestyle, not short training sessions.

That's the great things about calves. Among natties, they make it easy at a glance to tell actual athletes and gymcels apart.

My friend have never done any sports, just played video games his whole life and he has biggest fucking galves I've ever seen in real life. And he ain't even fatty, 6ft/180lbs. From that point I knew calves are pretty much genetic.

I have no evidence to back this up, but I think Northern Europeans just genetically have big calves and don't have to do shit to train them but other whites and other races have to.
