STAY/GET BACK IN SHAPE VOL 3.0 -- A New Niketalk = A New Thread

[ahat]

this kinda makes sense. But wouldn't that also apply to our legs in general? I'm assuming more emphasis is placed on calves.

Ya i think its just more emphasis is on the calves. Its like @jkitty said u gotta go ham when it comes to the calves.

EDIT; found this "There's another reason that the calves, especially the soleus, are relatively unresponsive to weight training. The calves keep your body upright when you're standing or walking. That means they're active throughout the entire day. As a result, the calves are already further developed than any other muscle in "untrained" individuals. Note that this isn't a genetic limit – it's an environmental effect."

Ya i remember reading something like that as well. Ah well what can u do? just get em as strong as possible

Yeah, I've always had big calves, even as a teen my calves were bigger than most other kids my age, and I was stronger than a lot of them too. I remember the Older dudes used to tell me to flex and say I was "diesal". I had no idea what "diesal" meant. I was like 12-14 at the time.

Come to think of it. I think I have "good genetics". I guess.

But yeah. Gonna get these calves bigger when I'm done cutting.

Never had to do calves every day either, so idk what dude talking about.

A trainer did? I'd complain to management first. How come after a year it's a problem? And that well I'm leaving here then and going somewhere else

I'm guessing it's a liability thing...something that's probably not written in the fine print of the contract.

Oh im def gonna complain. I wanted to argue but whats the sense in arguing with someone whos clearly an idiot. Ill find elsewhere to go regardless, dont matter if its a longer trip.
