Girls with Man Calves

I also have large calves, and been trying to slim them down for months already. I refrain from running on the treadmill, I use the elliptical instead.

Shame on you for calling them man calves. Calves are calves, period. Disgusting.

Hot. I ♥ women's legs. I find them sexy. I also agree with the high heels comments.

Ok....I've had big muscles in my legs all my life, but now that I am working out they are getting bigger and bigger. My brother is actually jealous of my calves lol.

Does anyone else have this problem? Will they keep getting bigger or eventually will they get leaner?

Sorry the picture is so big. I tried to shrink it but it didn't work.

Wow. you really do have impressive leg muscles. Your calves are especially awesome. I have small calves due to genetics, although they are quite muscular from years of running, cycling and weight training. Unfortunately for me due to the genetic factor (thanks a lot dad!), they'll never grow beyond the point they're at now. The only upside is that they'll become more defined, which is ultimately what I want. You should rather see your large, muscular calves as a blessing rather than a problem. Just imagine how strong they are. I hope you're still working out now because that would mean they're probably bigger and more muscular than when this photo was taken. Think about it. You're working out so at least the increase in size is due to the fact that you're putting on muscle, not fat. It's obvious just looking at the photo that it's pure muscle in those legs of yours. So my advise to you is to embrace them and love them. I think they're beautiful. And anyway, I think large, shapely muscular calves on a woman are way more attractive that small thin ones. And beside, there aren't many women (and men) out there who can boast such amazing legs with muscles like yours. You should be proud of them. BTW, you don't need to worry about them getting bigger and bigger. Everyone has a limit at which their muscles eventually stop growing, even they continue to train at the same rate. So at some point, your calves will eventually stop growing.

I'm actually jealous of you. I want your calves!!!!

I've been doing heavy weight lifting and lift 55kg barbell which is 1.125 times my bodyweight on my lower body, squatting, deadlifting, lunging with those heavy barbells & have developed legs but my calves so far still looks tiny & 'feminine' :grumble:

rap them around me,hurt me !

I have this problem too. I've always had big legs, but since I started the weight loss, my legs have gotten really manly (or sexy as corrected by Kaleidy-Ly) looking. Not complaining at all though.

Just earlier today, I had this guy randomly ask me in the gym if I had been an athlete in high school or had run track. A customer of mines asked if I were training to become a cheerleader due to my legs (Do cheerleaders have big legs???)

Some of them do. Not all of them I'm sure. But I'm pretty sure even those who don't have big legs must have have pretty strong ones.

Can anyone please tell me how to upload photos here?

Big calves are sexy as hell.
