How do you get SUMMER CALVES?
Replies

Basically OP what you need to do is eat at a calorie surplus and train your calves only in the hypertrophy range (6-12 reps, 3-4 sets). This will stimulate muscle growth. Make sure you eliminate ALL other walking as this will make your SUMMER CALVES look like scrawny little bird legs.
Basically you should be in a wheel chair while your doing your calve bulk and then when you're ready to cut ((about 2-3 months) you can start walking again. Only 5 minutes at a time though as you don't want to spike your cortisol levels and start forcing your body to eat away all that fine SUMMER CALVE muscle.0 -
Majority of the people answering to you are trying to be very helpful with their answers, ... you on the other hand.... hmmm, how do I put it ... Are you "trying" to sound like a d-bag, or does that come naturally?
"Please I just wanna tone my calves, why are you being such a rude person? I don't have a degree in biology so I can't change my genetics"
"Omg aren't you listening?! I don't want toned toes!!"
"Please stop being a hater. You can enjoy your turkey calves if you want but I am going to rock my summer calves."
:flowerforyou:
For being so pretty, you sure are rude!

Stop flirting with me!!
Now, FINALLY I can see the sarcasm oozing through! :smokin:

I don't want to get bulky I just want to tone0 -
Don't listen to the haters!
Any of that nonsense about genetics or thermodynamic devilry, is totally unproven!
Just walk up a flight of stairs a day, it's that easy!

Really the key is - don't wear jorts. No one looks good in jorts.0

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).0

Toe raises work calves.0

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.0 -
Let spring turn into summer.
Have a pair of legs.
BOOM. Science!
That kind of logic will not be tolerated around here.0
