CAlves


So my calves are looking real good but mostly on the inside if you know what I mean.

The inner calf like on the inside of the leg is nice and rounded and solid when I flex, but what can I do to make the outside just as defined? Does it have to do with just how I position my feet on the exercises.

I do Standing calf raises, Donkey calves, Sitting calf raises ( hammer strength )

So what do you think?

change the variation of your feet. try pointing your toes IN to hit the outer part of the calf.

awesome to hear the rest of your calves are shaping up so well though! way to go!

No matter what calf exercise I do, I change the position of my toes, like Jen mentioned. Try this:

A set should be:
10 regular calf raises, then turn your toes in towards each other for 10 more, then turn the toes out for another 10.

Do 3 sets like that on two different machines the next time you train calves.

Mine are huge by now.

Here Are Mine


These are a picture of my calves taken a while ago. You can see that I need to work on the outer side of them. This was taken with a picture phone so forgive the quality

The 45 degree leg press is the greatest thing that ever happened to me as far as my calves go. I still have quite a bit of weight to lose, so I don't have much muscle definition showing up, yet...but my calves sure look good.
