I have BIG calves, help! 17 inches around muscle

[Japanese machine]

well you cant "spot" reduce muscle, you will lose muscle all over, you dont want that. I read about a natural BB that had over-developed traps, he got a sports docter to inject cortisone shots directly into his shoulders.... I dont know how accurate this info is, its kind of blurry in my mind.

Too bad we couldn't do a calf exchange, then you'd have something to whine about. You could have my skinny chicken calves and I'll take your big calves that require no work. Then you'll have push yourself to the point of nearly passing out every calf workout and still have people ask you if you work them.

Life sucks for everyone. For some their boots won't fit around their calves, for others they can only wish their boots won't fit around their calves.

"he got a sports docter to inject cortisone shots directly into his shoulders...."

Bad idea.

I amnot sure that one can have calves that are too big really. I think large calves on a women is extremely sexy, especailly when wearing heels.
If they are that big then its genetic and you will not need to work them at all.
It could be a fat issue(rare)though.

I like the fact that I have big thighs, shows my workout is really working. As for boots, wear heels instead of boots - I did find out though that the cheaper boots will fit a bigger calve than the more expensive ones.

...As for boots, wear heels instead of boots...

Wit's right. Don't hide them, show 'em off.

Great calves are a prize, whether you're male or female. Boots are "in" now to hide the pitiful legs of all these waif women. Probably why capri pants are back as well.

I meant calves not thighs - no that's another story - my thighs are my big problem spot!

I trained with my sister last night and GOD - SHE HAS LIKE ZERO CALVES!!! She is strong as a horse and her overall genetics are far superior to mine... BUT -

I HAVE NICE CALVES.... SHE DON'T LOL!!

I used to have the calf/boot problem too, but stomach surgery fixed that *sniff*....

I will have to spend the rest of my days skinny....

BUT I STILL GOTS CALVES!!!

tee-hee

I can't wear the damn capri pants either -- calves too big & those things make me look like I'm FATTTTT because my calves are tight up against the bottom seam. I also had that problem back when those tapered narrow pants were "in" (ok, this is back in the 80's .. but still).

Boots are SO last season...

"these boots are made for walking
and this is what they do
....
and i'm gonna walk all over you"

or something like that
i know this quote is not correct word for word, but it is still funny

I think I have a good size on my calves, but my damn ankles are way too big !!!
I have a large frame and "big" bones and a good set of hips unfortunately, so my calves don't look as big as they should do if I had a small frame. Damn genetics...

It's too bad that I don't want to have children. With these set of hips they probably would be flying out of there !!
