Is there even a point in training calves if they do not limit your performance?
this is how i imagine psoas schizo
>>76996387 We should train all of our bodies.
>>76996387Whats the point of posting edited images like this, OP? Seriously. Im interested. Whats your goal here? What drives one to do this? Boredom? Are you a queer? Whats the deal?
>>76996407And glute schizo
>>76996573It's not edited, it's a screenshot from a video of me learning egyptian lateral raise technique. Just noticed that my calves are quite visually underdeveloped - so i decided to ask a question if training them is actually worth it for performance goals or it they will "catch up" when increasing general strength in compound movements.
>>76996573Where’s the edit retard
>>76996584It's the same person, you imbecile
>>76996598Tittyboy at my gymWhen are you hopping on estrogen
>>76996621Low quality bait.
>>76996598nice breasts dude, would suckle
>>76996627Dont be harsh on yourself those are some hight quality mammaries to bait other men into suckling them
>>76996655you would know, you actual flaming homosexualhow long have you been on estrogen and taking it up the ass?
>>76996598>>76996600The photo looks stretched out. His legs look stretched out like my Gumby doll I had when I was a kid.>stands correctedOP, how tall are you?
>>76996598Big kek>>76996740>stretched out Gumby doll I had as a kidOh man my fucking sides
>>76996725Aww do you lactate when you're angry ?
>>76996598slow it down and control the negativeyou're missing half the exercise when you let it fall instead of slowly lowering italso improves form and mind muscle connection.if you can't control the negative use lighter weights.
>>76996387>>76996598Mogs me
>>76996387For you, yes since your calves appear to be about 30% of your height. >>76996655I wish you didn't post here
>>76996598>white gloves>undies>that little gay leg twirl every liftfinally some good fucking content on this board
>>76996598Bro what's with the curtsey on every rep get it together.Also calves are important to train if you want them to look impressive. They don't really benefit from typical lifts. If you climb or run/sprint that might change things.
>>76996598should've keep your clothes on before posting on /fit/
>>76996598I know you've been told a lot of bad advice on here, but you really just need to do SS+GOMAD. Fucking around with 'lateral raise form' is a literal waste of time for someone like you. You are 50 lbs underweight before you should even CONSIDER doing an exercise that doesn't involve a heavy barbell
>>76996740>OP, how tall are you?195cm>>76996845>For you, yes since your calves appear to be about 30% of your height.Makes sense. >>76996877>You are 50 lbs underweightI weight 96kg (211lbs).
>>76996387Look at this image and now you tell me.
>>76997275>>You are 50 lbs underweight>I weight 96kg (211lbs).I have sympathy for you because non-tallfags don't understand that sometimes tall people have ayylmao proportions that make it hard to decide whether to cut or bulk. My torso and thighs are solid-ish but my arms and legs are like lanky kong.
>>76996618>It's the same person, you imbecileand keep it that way bot - it's a PERSON for you :D i know u won't :D so, calves don't grow from calf raises cause gastrocnemius snags on femur - picture - and muscle shuts off when poked and it doesn't matter one bit that it's your own skeleton ya could do bent knee calf raise but that will just fry your quad opposing both your weight and gastrocnemius bending the knee but what if you bend over (reach out and lean onto sth) and fully internally rotate hips so that knees face and brace each other ? wouldn't that diminish quad involvement? well not entirely, there's VMO still working just from the act of constant internal hip rotation so that knees stay facing each other, but yeah, it now works calvesand for some mysterious reason it also boinks gluteus maximus https://www.youtube.com/shorts/81id7bVy858see that rolling action on ankle? you want none of that :D >and for some mysterious reason it also boinks gluteus maximuswhy is dat? dunnohttps://duckduckgo.com/?q=gluteuss+maximus+muscle+fibers&ia=web>Abduction and Adduction: The upper fibers assist in thigh abduction, while the lower fibers can contribute to adduction.maybe it's adduction ? yes it's the forever elusive lower gluteus maximus that i feel today>but PERSON, aren't u against all movements overgrowing adductors that contribute to excessive external hip rotation like squats deadlifts hip thrustsyeah bot, i don't think it's a problem here because of full internal hip rotation, abductors externally rotate hip, like semimembranosus & semitendinosus overgrown in realtion to biceps femoris from squats and deadliftseither way, did it yesterday for shits and giggles and got nicely domsed gastrocnemius DESPITE doing quasi heel-hook with a band on heel and toes which grew calf CONSIDERABLY already, cause u know - gastrocnemius BENDS THE KNEE, except when it can't do it cause it's braced against other knee, then it will bend ankle :D
>>76997446>but what if you bend over (reach out and lean onto sth) and fully internally rotate hips so that knees face and brace each other ?just the very op of that motion, undulate there
>>76997446Heel hook quickly becomes useless since you can't progressively overload it for long. Same for all other exercises you suggest.
>>76997446>grew calf CONSIDERABLY alreadyYou measured it? What's the difference before/after?
>>76997456caught up to biceps which is at supposed natty limits for a while now :D measuring is not how i roll bot, i want it to please my senses when i look at it from any angle>vanity humans are naturally repulsed by pathology, i am just using this trait to evaluate my work >>76997452>Heel hook quickly becomes useless since you can't progressively overload it for long. Same for all other exercises you suggest.since u're in the loop bot and don't pretend otherwise as of now: WRONG u can progressively overload isometrics forever - undulating isometrics - u sorta weigh the load u're administering to the muscles trained, like >how heavy is dat? >lift dat up and down >about yey heavy this way >progressively overloadin principle, in practice though time under tension on muscle belly is the only thing that matters, chasing weight, reps is nonsense - will only get u injured and heel hook is too much hamstrings for my liking and not the hamstrings i want (semimembranosus and semitendinosus over biceps femris), knees facing together calf raise:>>76997448>>but what if you bend over (reach out and lean onto sth) and fully internally rotate hips so that knees face and brace each other ?>just the very top of that motion, undulate therefixes the issue :Di just found movement that does gastrocnemius, VMO and LOWER FIBERS of glute max lol :D i don't know if it's possible to beat that biceps femoris is pictured btw. >it says TFL it does, but if u pull back not straight to the side it doubles as fix hamstring imbalance exercise
>>76997483>measuring is not how i roll botSo you actually didn't grew any muscle. What a retard.
>>76996598Annie are you OK
>>76997489>>76997490looks good bot, gonna look even better >>76997483>i just found movement that does gastrocnemius, VMO and LOWER FIBERS of glute max lol :D i don't know if it's possible to beat that>biceps femoris is pictured btw.>>it says TFL>it does, but if u pull back not straight to the side it doubles as fix hamstring imbalance exercisebiceps femoris that atrophies from squats and deadlifts and like always i noticed it pop on the outside of the knee joint the next fuking day i tried it :D cause that's how hypertrophy works, once u hit it right the result is visible IMMEDIATELY, the next fucking day >>>but what if you bend over (reach out and lean onto sth) and fully internally rotate hips so that knees face and brace each other ?>>just the very top of that motion, undulate there>fixes the issue :Dbut most importantly there is no undue load on hamstrings which was against my aim of unfucking externally rotated hips from squats in my case
>>76997483and yet not a single one of your muscles looks hypertrophied
>>76997568>and yet not a single one of your muscles looks hypertrophiedoh ok, and how would u know bot :D ? no, that straw-man u conjured up is not me bot, i won't even tell you if i ever posted anything of me :D >>76997565>>76997483>>76997448>>76997446
