Calf training

Now, I’m in no position whatsoever to tell you how to train your calves. Why? Because my calves are just as pathetic as my chest. But my point is to show you where we all went wrong.
First, let me explain what the fascia is. The fascia is thick tissue covering all muscles to keep them in place. Some muscle (calves and abs) have an extremely thick layer of fascia covering them because they’re the most worked muscles in the body. If that fascia weren’t thick over there, there would be a great chance of it ripping. Anyway, if a muscle grows, and fascia doesn’t stretch, then the muscle would return to it’s normal (former) size.
Second, genetics play a huge rule in how your calves look and grow. Ofcourse, everyone shoots for the “diamond calf” look (I’m talking about men. Women have much lower insertions). Sadly, very few can acquire that look without much work.
Third, you work your calves by walking, jogging, sitting and shaking your leg, almost anything you do involves calf work, which means it could take one hell of a beating.

Now, after explaining these three points, ask yourself “Do my calves look big enough?” if you have big FAT calves, let me be the first to tell you that they’re as ugly as shit. Plus, once you lose weight, you’ll end up with toothpicks for legs. Diamond calf means a big diamond shaped muscle right under your knee, small ankles, and very defined muscle tissue and tendons between and diamond and your ankle. Take a look at your calf routine. How many sets do you do? How many reps? Did you increase your weights? Now, after you answer this, ask your self about your pectoral muscles. how many sets do you do? How many reps? Weights? Write this down on a paper. Look at the numbers. Your calves can take double the beating your chest can….. now you know why you have small calves. Well, atleast now I know why I do.
