>get fat
>never go outside
>they still refuse to grow

So now you're obese and have small calves
>>

Heavy calf raises is the only way. 3-6 reps until failure

Anything works as long as you work them hard. I started doing 3x20 bouncing reps and currently do 2x12 strict paused reps. Calves are decent because every set is to 1RIR since you can do that with calves EASY. Do them in the leg press.

Gastroc is a meme, focus on your soleus.

Because you do some quad plus ham/back loaded "motion" instead of focusing on muscular hypertrophy even ever though.
>does only deep contraction mmc bodybuilder shit like it's Ronnie Coleman on acid and adderall but he can't touch anything too hard
You are more than somewhat of an amateur compared to I. Look at yourself and then gaze upon me. Look at my muscles, learn from them.

Bro you add 20lbs of bloat(useless weight) and then your whole shit goes right back up your ass faggot you done with your set or am I gonna have to build up my energy so I can fuck you up super bad bro.
>>
>>77472613
If I had to choose between an intermediary stage of weight gain for better overall muscle growth then I'd just have gay sex with dudes instead because you're a faggot.

I never see anyone going heavy on these. I do 150kg standing for 12 reps currently
>>
only autists on this board care about calves
>>
Stop bouncing at the bottom, you're mostly using your Achilles tendon if you bounce.
>>
>>77473086
This. Always do pause reps, heavy.
>dyer u need 2 train ur calves high rep
You use your calves high rep walking every day. Are they big?
>>
there is literally 0 evidence of natural lifters growing their calves to any noticeable degree with weights

>Injured my left calf years ago which reduced ankle mobility
>Never really gave it much thought
>One day noticed that my left calf is significantly smaller
>The gastrocnemius muscle is basically nonexistent on my left leg
>Measure it
>It's 4cm smaller than the right calf
>Can barely do 5 bodyweight calf raises on my left leg
How the fuck do I fix this? I guess it will take years to get it as big as my right calf right?
>>
>>77471911
Trail running builds these fuckers so much that it's insane
>>
>>77471911
I competed in track and field for 14 years, including decathlon in my final years in the sport, and I've been doing hill sprints for 8 years, and my calves look like I've been sitting in a wheelchair all this time.

>>77471911
Until you learn to walk and do it.
