Name Your Weak Points and How You Plan. . .

i guess im lucky for being 6'3 my calves dont look bad at all, they're not huge, but they fit right. I barely do anything, 2 sets once, maybe twice a week... but i do a lot of sprinting ( which probably hhelps a lot ) never even do calves in season.

I have tried it all for calves.

Hamstrings 1# hard as heck to grow for me, grrr

My calves grow like wildfire, they are getting too big for my upper legs.


basically I need to work on my legs harder then normal, my legs are just stubbron, but thank goodness my calves grow.

That would be cool I think.

How did you like the uber-stretch at the bottom of calf reps that DC has suggested?

I am at a bit of a loss regarding calves myself. Mine grow very easily, but I'm not entirely sure if, when they stop growing, I should try to intensify my calf training or to try and up the frequency?

I'll probably try a bit of both when that day comes, so I have some time to think about it.

Come to think of it. . .Dc's methods of training calves works the best. . .I still use his methods.

Maybe its my genetic makeup. . training can only do so much.

Posterior chain - can never be too strong for anybody - to increase my squats in particular.

Currently hitting GMs and snatch-grip rack deadlifts nice and hard.

Perhaps. And calves are tough!

Like forearms, calves seem to be one of those things that people either have or they don't. My dad has 17" calves and is a couch potato.

One thing that sticks in my mind, though, is how many fat people I see with big calves. Some of that size is intramuscular fat, but I still see some decent muscle there too. All those people do is walk around, which isn't very hard

So maybe there's something to be said for nailing the calves with a higher frequency? You wouldn't do all-out failure sets every day necessarily, and it wouldn't have to be a very long cycle. I'm not sure. I might have to experiment with this once I get a pair of calves I'm comfortable with first.

upper back and shoulders. a steady diet of pull ups, power cleans(and their variations) along with seated ohp's.
