Thinner Ankles

[SouthWind]

Hey all, I was wondering how I could make my ankles thinner. I'm a soccer player so my legs are already unporpotioned with my upper body, and I've been doing a plate loaded calf raise machine with about 3 45's for around 8 reps or so, this has made my calves bulky and not very toned and made them look unporpotioned to my quads as well, so I was wondering what I could do to make them smaller?

lighten the weights, do longer sets - ie, instead of doing 550lbs for 10 reps, do 300lbs for 20 to 25.

you should know, however, that muscle size is largely genetically determined - you can only do so much to alter a muscle's physiology.

on the same note, just tone the calves. i dont think it is possible to make your ankles thinner.

The only tissue in your ankle is bone, cartilage, ligaments, and tendons. You'll have to make your calves bigger or wear bigger shoes!:

it IS possible to gain weight around the ankles, but it'd have to be a heck of a tonnage.

You could also start eating like crazy and give yourself "Cankles"!

ah, yes - for that so-fashionable Weeble figure....
