This is not a bad video but it tells me nothing I haven't already been doing for years. I actually did more than all of this, I did crazy stuff and STILL DO every week. Did I get significant, visible results? Hell no. I can tell my calves got a tiny bit better but when a random persons looks at my figure they're still the smallest part, though rock hard and pretty defined (even with hair on you can see all of the sections and just tell they're a sport person calves. That's because I'm one of the 15/20% of people born with horrible genetics, very tiny ankles (my ankles are just a little bit thicker than my wrists) and high calf insertion and I will NEVER get BIG calves. But if you belong to the 80-85% of population yes, you may see your calves grow by following these instructions. Just keep in mind no training program is universally suited, ideal for everybody. You might have to look at the results while in progress and adapt it to your body's response. Some need to train calves more times a week, some need more rest. I actually believe the worst your genetics are the more rest you might need, because the kind of work intensity we force our calves to do when working out with weights is much stressing and specific that just walking, running or going up stairs so our calves might need some days to recover from THAT effort.

DISCLAIMER- there are alot of people out there, that will NEVER get big calves (naturally) no matter what. this has to do with somethings that you cannot change like 1. Geneteics (especailly in many black men) we tend to be of a leaner frame, with less bulkiness and fat, especially in our legs and trunk area. 2. being flat footedalso ( which again is another genetical traight more prevalaint in black men. people with a high arch and have been walking on the ball of their feet their entire lifes will naturally have larger thighs and bigger calfs as oppose to people who have been walking on the outside of their feet without putting much pressure on their calves. in many cases, your skinny chicken legs are just part of your genetic make up, many athletes over come this because they have been working out their entire lifes but unfortunatley for many, the most you will be able to achieve is toning your skinny legs with some good consitent work outs. as far as getting them big and impressive looking. forget about it

I-m still in the army and 7 years of rucking, hitting calves at gym, I still have barely any calf size. People that naturally have calves always say it-s because they did this or that, but reality is they-re calves would have grown in the same even if they did nothing. I rode bikes and jogged and hiked all my life too. Ive been working on intense stretching lately because I think genetically mine came out a lot less flexible then others and limited the room to grow. Females are always much more flexible then men and almost always have nice calves with or without any exercise.

Actually, genetic weakness is a real thing. I trained my calves like hell about 2 years ago. Working out my calves literally made my tear drop. Don't get me wrong. I did it in the right and proper ways like full range of motion, different feet positions, squeezing my calves about 3-4 secs in each reps, 5-6 sets with high reps 3-4 times a week, good stretching, giving my calves enough time to recover. I did see the results but compared to genetically blessed person who didn't even train his calves hard or properly, my calves were still small.

Dude, genetics play a big role in this, I've literally never, and I mean NEVER, trained my calves, and they are bigger than your head, bigger than a watermelon no joke, I find it really difficult to put them through trousers, can you imagine passing on a nice pair of jeans, a perfect fit on your waist just because your calves couldn't fit in it? I think training is very effective and all, but in the end your genes play a massive role in the shape and volume of any muscle group.

Been working out 6 months today, and my Chest and Calves are my biggest gains by a mile, for Calves I do a lot of jumping, so a frog squat exploding all the way to tippy toes and after a few the Calf burn and hypertrophy is amazing, I do 12 sets a week of 15-20 reps and my Calves are my best gains, plus I do Tabata hiit with a lot of running up hills, hope this helps!

Actually, growing big calve muscles is easier than building any other muscle in the body, just walk and run everyday and be active, I actually have calves bigger than this muscular guy in the video with no training and I'm actually very thin. Just because I'm active and during my childhood, I used to play football which made this muscle very big naturally

Biggest factor is genetics. Ive trained most of my adult life, focusing on legs especially calves but still have skinny high calves. My dad never trained and had calves like Dorian Yates.
