its not even that your calves are small really, I mean the picture is kinda fuzzy, but you can tell you have nice calves, and im sure youve heard this before but, your quads dominate the rest of your legs! haha not a bad thing, it will just be tough to make the calves match your thighs. those things are f-ing cannons dude. Damn that Panzy Pad! haha
do you do tib press's? they are filling in the front and inside of my calves quite nicely... I got meat there, that didnt use to exist there.

Thanks westside, and yes, I do agree, it will be hard for me to match my calves more evenly with my quads...as my quads have a mind of their own HA HA! But I am not going to give up..gonna keep blasting them hard and over time, I am sure they will make some bigger gains.
And yah, the panzy pad has served me good over the years hahaha! When you put your ego aside, and train smart (sticking to the things that you find work best for you despite what others might think), big things happen!
The secret is to keep an open mind about training, diet, etc...and listen to your body, and mind. The body, along with training and diet is NOT a textbook...there is no right and wrong way...and everyone is different...so you have to find what works for YOU and then discard what does not work over the years.
No, I don't do any TIB presses, but it sounds like those work good...do you have a link showing how to do them correctly? I would be more than interested in adding some lean muscle to that area of my legs. Thanks man!

Golden advice from Todd...
I do almost everything opposite to what others thing / recommend and it doesn't stop results if it's what your body needs.
Todd, ever thought about 1kg / 2kg ankle weights? I'm thinkin about it...

I was thinking more along the line of wearing them during work hours as a 1kg ankle weight shouldn't be much and not visible at all with formal work attire, to add to the calf development.
Just throwing thoughts around here... as they are normally used for Joggers / Runners.

Because of doing these, my chins are no longer boney, they actually have muscle across the front now. Merrida also said there are recommended for peoples with chin splints.
In regaurds to what Vas said about ankle weights... peoples at my work actually walk on the balls of there feet, like they have there whole life, just because they got comfortable walking that way, and they all have enormous calves! Enormous! |

well I hope you dont mean, walking on your toes... it would prolly mess your posture up or something. I committed myself to doing that for 2 whole weeks, but at work only, my calfs did burn every day, and I could never seem to keep a good balance. haha... stupid story I know. |

LOL, no I am not going to be walking on my toes haha! I will be hitting my calves harder with more focus on them than ever before. I am going to see what the extra attention does for them. I'll keep you guys/gals informed as time goes on.
