    I used to have chicken legs until I started running.

    Become obese for a few years.

    Ever seen an obese person with tiny calves?

    Former large folks always have the best calves once they get fit!

    Leg press calf raises for low reps (8-10) to build the Gastrocnemius and seated calf raises for high reps to build Soleus (15-20).

    With summer around the corner and shorts season already here, I was wondering what I can do to tone my calves so I look great in my jorts?

    Any help please?!

    Ballet!

    Dude, Whierd I vote this. Please do so with a pink tutu and take pictures ASAP

    Well, I AM pretty awesome at making tutus, but I have no pink tool. :sad:

    IN to find out what colour Whierd's tool is.

    Came back in here to say this ^^^

    The color of his tulle is immaterial (get it? Har har......... oh, nvrmnd).

    Ultimately, it does come down to eating at a calorie-deficit and calf-exercises (as you can't spot reduce and blah blah blah).

    I do think the 'type' of calf exercises can really determine calf shape though. My brother, a rugby player, has really round-shaped calves from explosive and high resistance (pushing/driving) work, whereas I have a much longer calf muscle from running/cycling. Just my '2 cents' towards the genetics argument...that's not to say it's incorrect, but it's not definitive, in my opinion.

    Let spring turn into summer.

    Have a pair of legs.

    BOOM. Science!

    That kind of logic will not be tolerated around here.

    Jumping rope, stair running, hiking. These are all great for calves, hamstrings, glutes, and quads!
    Or you could get a spray tan and fool everyone. :wink:

    I can think of a really inappropriate comment about pink tools
