YES!
Seated Calf raises, standing calf rises and donkey calve raises
# times a week
One day do heavy 12 - 15 reps
One day do lighter and 25-35 reps
One day light to defeat
I also do zumba and elliptical trainer for my cardio, but once I get rid of the 12 pounds I have left I'll reduce switch to HIIT and / or reduce my days of cardio.0 -
How are those images not safe for work?
Where are you working? Kabul?
Just looks like a bloke in swimming trunks to me.
@Madone: I don't think it is genetics, my calves used to be huge [fat huge not muscle huge] so I guess I can make them grow.0 -
Put some damn clothes on. There is no reason i need to see a grown man wearing hand-drawers in order to judge his calves. I open this page and it looks like I'm on the M4M section of craigslist at work.
Not cool bro0 -
I thought this was going to be a post about livestock.0

NSFW - Not safe for work. If this is in the title, I can look around to make sure there aren't any co-workers hovering by. :flowerforyou:
Not trying to offend, but I didn't notice your calves because your crotch and butt are in my face.

Fat sits near the skin and you could have massive calves. Muscle in the calves is in a sleeve that is pre-disposed by genetics. No amount of training will help your calves look noticeably bigger.0

Agreed, I wasn't at all offended by these pics, I see worse right outside my front door every day. No junk hanging out, nothing suggestive. if 1/3 of a guys covered buttocks are such a bad thing, don't ever go to the beach!0 -

How are you supposed to compare the ratio of calf to thigh if all of the thigh is not showing? The butt is covered - although admittedly, it exists.
The shots are much less racy than you would find in an anatomy & physiology textbook.0 -

I have no answer to he original question though - I guess you could try some squats and see if it helps. If not, they look like pretty normal legs to me, I wouldn't worry.0

calf raises (seated & standing ) heavy , high rep , and do them often.0

Of course you weren't offended...0 -
Yes, add another 3 inches0

The size of your calves is genetic. No amount of exercise will make them bigger!
I cycle 6000 miles a year and have tiny calves...
What he said. My hubby is a bodybuilder and when he trains some of these guys he has to tell them that upfront.0 -
it is funny that you have on underwear to show off your calves. I bet you got a lot of responses from men!0
-
While it is true calves are largely genetic, that doesn't necessarily mean you are at your genetic limit. Train them and eat more and if they still don't get bigger then you are at your limit.0

Can we judge your butt next?
:smokin:0 -

Its in comparison to his thighs...
One can look at the male form without being secretly gay, you know.0 -
