Do you train calves?

You can train your calves doing your cardio by doing a high incline on the treadmill. 2 for 1

>Do you train calves? u're gay
no u bot :D 4chinz bot is definitely sodomite yes

i just did calves, on the side on the floor anchored powerband hooked on heel and as it leaves heel pressed with toes, it's isometric hold, make sure u're positioning yourself such that knee is more than 90 degs open, as straight as u can muster really (it won't open fully), press knee onto floor and hold

>i mean u could do calf raises right?
>>76893305

wrong bot, gastrocnemius bends the knee, so u need load that extends it, tries to pull your leg by foot, i don't think there is ANYTHING in entire fitness edifice that does what my gastrocnemius isolation achieves
this also explains the mystery ineffective calf raises - entirely opposite load on knee that's needed lol

bot closing thread in fear of my reply

>it’s a mystery anon try that weight but do a 4-5 second rep with a squeeze at the top and report back
it will hurt in the back of the knee where gastroc is poked by bones of knee joint - picture is from wikipedia gif

gastrocnemius BENDS THE KNEE, it does not extend it like in calf raises:

choose wisely - the lightest powerband, u will get doms on gastrocnemius nonetheless, doms on gastrocnemius are located where bulk of muscle belly is - way way below knee joint on the calf

>You wouldn't notice if you had grown them 20%
say you have 30 cm biceps and u grow it to 36 cm
>You wouldn't notice if you had grown them 20%

YOU WILL NOTICE THE DIFFERENCE AFTER ONE FUCKING GO AT IT:

everybody will notice :D your pants will distribute themselves differently on your arse and legs with good calves
>>
>>76903580
Wrong
>>76903668
More wrong

>>76902672
>Do you train calves?
Just walk.
Move your feet.

>>76902672
yo (yes and no, new slang)

>>76902672
I don't often wish I were white, but when I do, it's exclusively to be this kind of white dude (or bigger).

You should do both big calves are an endless quest. Calf raises are also a useful stretch.

>>76902672
my calves feel kinda silly growing closer in size to my quads tho my quads nor calves are notable in size.
>fucked hips have ruined leg day but slowly making progress
can calves be too big? is there an upper limit besides not fitting into pants? i can only recall every seeing someones large calves and thinking "fawwwwwwk".
>>
>>76905651
calves are the most important lower body muscle for aesthetics. calflets will cope.
and no, just walking is not enough to have big calves. i walk up to 20000 steps a day at my job and do hiking and cycling on my days off. nothing builds calves except calf raises, just like any other muscle.

indeed bot, now imagine biceps stretch, like palm on wall and u twist away from it - u're telling people to curl like that for biceps xD
calf raises are just like that for calf, both joints open to absolute limit of calf range - there goes lengthened stretch meme lol
>>76905677
>nothing builds calves except calf raises, just like any other muscle
true it's like every other muscle - not gemnetics, nor obesity
and like almost every other muscle:
>>76903472
>>>76897424
>>>yeah, it's psoas, that is what bot means talking about "core"
>>>that is what us military meant when it talked situps are bad for back - bad for psoas
>>>if u want abs do crunch with soft legs with pillow under lumbar spine - pad on lumbar spine adds fulcrum point on spine beyond psoas origin
>>>legs are soft which is proxy for relaxed psoas
bot shills shit that won't grow it and will fuck you up - it is a conspiracy, it is a systematic program with world wide reach
>how could this happen, isn't it OBVIOUS which muscle grows from what?
no, it's muddled by design, very similar to diet/nutrition field
>>76903580

it's a modified heelhook, doode in da middle is magnus mitboe - famous yt cloomber, that's how he got calves despite walking at below 70 kgs for most of his life, he hanged off heels while cloombing big walls, cloombers grip with heels and rest their arms using heel-hooks
>20000 steps a day at my job and do hiking and cycling on my days off
200 000 - go big or go home bot - yes calves are ultimately for walking and standing, for holding center of gravity between toes and heel
