Genetically, I have very skinny calves. Having longer than normal legs doesn't help their look either. I have managed to get them bigger, and finally had people tell me they look like 'normal calves' now. Sad, but that's actually a compliment. I've become a decent power lifter (repping 3 plates on bench, 4 plates on squats, good form and all), but I need to get bigger gains with my calves.
During my last cycle, I split my workouts into two in preparation for my Football season. I'd do strictly lifting (example, chest and back) and abs for the first, then the second would be 20 minutes of cardio, 2 sets of 4 of forearms and calves. I did that same second workout up to 6 times a week.
The way my calves are, they start to bulge half way up my shin. I know a lot of athletes that managed to get great looking calves with my same body type.
So I'm seeing some good results, but I'm sure you pros would know a few tips. Please help me out. Thanks!
