Any other calf exercises that don't require equipment?
>>41180992
Running
>>41180992
single leg calf raises to failure every day.
increase number of sets until they grow.
same idea but on steps
do sets with toes inwards
and few slightly outwards
(up to you if you bend knees)
>>41180992
I do calf raises but I am still a calflet
>>41181006
Running on sand.
anyone here have good calfs and willing to show ?
>>41181073
this?
>>41180992
You need something under your feet so you can stretch your calves it's the only way they will properly grow if you don't have the genetics. Also hill sprints.

nice
Autismo here
calf raises for a natty are a waste of time
Ive noticed that everyone who walks heelstriking has no calfs. Everyone who strikes midfoot or ball of foot has developed calfs
Solution: go running and try to strike the ground midfoot or ball of foot and try to implement this to your general walking
Bulk up to 340 pounds and walk around slowly for 20 years then lose weight.
Also I do really slow full range calf extensions on the leg press.

Running uphill in sand

everyone naturally walks with heelstrike.

Did this with weights and fucked up my calves very bad. Had to stop training for a few months, I couldn't even run 1km.
Probably I was stupid and trainer too much
>>41181231
uh, yeah, ofcourse you should build it up slowly.
not start doing 50 sets on day 4.

Most people sure, but not everyone
its also why most people have shitty calves
Ever notice how girls who wear high heels a lot have really big calves?
When my mom is out of the house I wear her highest heels around, luckily she's just one size smaller so it's a bit of a squeeze but it works just fine.
I really recommend it but watch u dont get caught
>>41181282
Its because the angle of the foot forces the calves to contract all the time comes back down to what I said here>>41181159
Fast walk on the treadmill with the incline turned up high. This shit burns my calves like a mofo.
>>41181159
are you walking around with no shoes? I run with a midfoot strike but walking in shoes with that looks autistic
One set, 100 reps. Tempo should be 6 seconds for reps. Do this everyday.
>>41181307
as long as you dont exaggerate it nobody will care get over it
Also they wont be noticing the midfoot strike after I get big calfs
I gained almost an inch on my calfs since implementing midfoot strike few months ago(consistency is a bitch though)
>>41181159
how would you do this with flat feet?

No idea
You should probally fix your flat feet and get the natural curve back(yes thats possible)
>>41181342
I have super flat feet but I can do them without any problems. How is your ankle mobility?
>>41181095
Do people really do calf raises without stepping on something ? I thought that what the default
>>41181268
You're supposed to heel strike, that's why you have heels. Idiot
>>41181500
>he doesnt know that humans used to walk on forefoot and started heelstriking pretty late to conserve energy
And thats not why we have heels
>>41181535
Citation needed
>>41181557
How stupid are you? You have an arch. You're supposed to use it to absorb impact. Midfoot strike is natural. Heel strikes are from giant running shoes because humans run on concrete now.
>>41180992
Ive said it countless times in calve thread.
On off days hike.
>>41181609
Hmm so no citation then? Into the bin you go
>>41181618
What if you live in the city?
>>41181206
Running up in sand in high-heels
>>41181646
>makes claim that we're supposed to heelstrike
>instead of backing his own claim says no show me proof that it isnt true
thats not how it works bud
>>41181609
yeah midfoot is natural for running, but try walking in shoes with it, you'll look like a sperg
>>41181667
>being this insecure
>>41181664
No you posted before me, disputing the way that the entire human population walks, you utter retard.
Don't reply to me again unless you've got a source
>>41181686
I said heelstriking provides no calf gains, which is true
>bbbbut no source
>bbbut everyone walks like that
then stay a dumb calflet sheep I dont care
>>41181729
>which is true
