Hello I have skinny calves about 14in. And they are high calves to. I'm trying to get bigger but im worried that my upper body won't look portionate to my legs. How do I get my calves at least a little bigger. By the way my arms are 13in and my chest is 38in.

    This is usually said as a joke, but it's appropriate for your your question.

    Don't skip leg day.




    No, seriously. If you want to be proportioned properly, follow a tried and true strength program that incorporates your full body.

    I'd say his calves are in proportion
    With 13" arms and 38" chest

    True but his post says he's trying to bulk and is worried about disproportionate development and the answer to that is ...train properly

    Calves are probably the biggest problem for most men who have issues with lagging body parts because it's pretty much all the genetic lottery. I have huge full calves and don't even have to work to get them but so many guys just have very high calves that will never really fill out. All you can do is work them hard and see what happens.

    For training just remember that calves are probably the most exercise resistant muscles you have so do a lot of heavy sets and see how they respond.
