>ITT: fitness takes you have and will simply refuse to expand onI don't do calf raises or any other kind of calf exercise because I legitimately think they dont do shit for you and also large calves arent even aesthetic
>large calves aren’t even aesthetic They are literally the only important muscle of the entire legs for aesthetics. Small quads and hamstrings with large calves is literally how super hero comics were drawn and shit
calves are responsible for pumping blood back to the heart they are easily the most important leg muscle and its not close
>>76851553Seriously??! Will they make my fucking sick dick explode quick with a blood transfusion from my hip to my dick let it rip in your mom's ass just a slip and she slip a disk trying to let her ass eat this dick but she is a Asian chick so her blick ain't with the trick ???!?!?!?
>>76851543big quads with small calves looks like shit
>>76851543I do very little leg work because the Johnny Bravo look mogs.
>>76851575unironically yes. I have exceptional vascularity I attribute to playing basketball religiously as a child which is basically the most rigorous calf exercise possible
>>76851550>>76851553>>76851599>t. fat incels
>>76851543You’re wrong about calves being unimportant but basically right about calf raises being useless. Calf size is almost entirely genetic. Even pro bodybuilder roid trannies can’t grow them
>>76851543Agreed>>76851660I did calf raises for a year and they didn't grow. Did kickboxing for a year snd got my squat over three plates and they grew.
I thought this thread was about fitness takes you refuse to expand on, not just calves although I am intrigued if there is a way to build calves to help with blood flow for better bonersAnyway my take is that it's absolutely ok and even preferable to lift for women and if you disagree you're a fag
>>76851543>also large calves arent even aestheticha ha calflet my calves are 22" get fucked faggot.
>>76851543Pull is the most important day for aesthetics and the most boring. Things that are good for you are no fun.
>>76851543Cardio is a waste of time, also I fucked her
Hormones and genetics matter way more than cico Keto works for 95% of people 97% of people can look amazing without roids if they put in the wok

>>76852458like this?

Always have 2 scoops of protein powder in your shake
>>76851599As someone with this build (due to swimming in my teens), this is unfortunately correct. I will try to swap my leg extensions with calf raises because I look like a chicken
>>76852481
>>76852458you can just do Nordic curls. we already know from studies nordic curls works gastrocnemius. same would apply to heel hook. in fact you can just do a Nordic curl without the curl part and just hold an isometric contraction since you like isometrics so much. but for the purpose of vascularity you do want to the calf raise motion such as when jumping
>>76852472one of tom platz favorite exercises btw

>>76852644I do Nordic curls. And they're extremely beneficial even if you can't do full ROM.

>>76852669I've done nordic curls many times. it's simply a superior exercise. this guy does with one leg https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6gcHpk0t-gI
>>76851543>I don't do calf raises or any other kind of calf exercise because I legitimately think they dont do shit for youYou only think that because you've never done them right. Calves are naturally a strong as fuck muscle, doing some calf raises with the 20lbs dumbbells or whatever won't do shit, you've gotta go heavy and STRUGGLE with the reps>t. 18" calves at 185lbsSeriously though, you can't complain about a muscle group not growing when you never even tried. That would be like me saying bench press doesn't do shit for upper body when I never even got past 1pl8... Fair enough if you genuinely don't care about calves thoughMy own fitness take is that protein is massively overrated, I don't think you need anywhere near 1g per pound of bodyweight. I've even reached 3pl8 bench on barely over 100g a day with my diet mainly being carbs. Then I'll see literal twinks at 135lbs with weak as fuck lifts who eat twice as much protein as me. I legitimately believe it's all hype and marketing we've been sold by supplement companies

>>76852672>there is no such thing as fast recovery muscleyou're wrong but that's the point of the thread, i won't expand the fast recovery mucles i've found are abs, calves and pecs. doesn't matter how hard you hit them, they recover in a day. you're a science fag, kys. i've found this out by actually going to the gym. you're literally just wrong and should delete yourself from life
>>76852763>the fast recovery mucles i've found are abs, calves and pecsthat's cause u are not doing em, exactly like u aren't doing calves with calf raises - abs calf and pec exercises are ALL retarded nonsense that doesn't do respective muscles bot, that's exactly why i am a genius :D i find out why and invent shit that does work the respective muscles more on that here: >>76852481>>>76845980 but don't change the subject, don't move the goalposts - don't be such a weak bitch bot :D come on :D CALVES>>76852458 (You)SOLVED>press with toes on the rubber that's hooked on heel as u bend knee with mostly gastrocnemius pulling to pelvis lying on the floor

Another thread ruined by the botfaggot
>>76852792still a top tier exercise even when jolting, falling down or even just holding in place
The amount of psychotic retardation in this thread is astonishing. And I'm not even talking about the actual lifts the guy talks about. They might work. They might now. But holy shit that nigger is annoying. Format your messages better, type like a white person and stop being so fucking obnoxious. Or just keep trolling and get fucked. Emt lol.

Being a former fat fuck + genetics and you can swing heavily in the other direction. My calves are almost as thick as my upper legs, to a point. It's not a cool look.
