[dremen]

Is that you in the avy? If so god damn bro big quads!!

[cheesesteak]

Tanning beds are your friend

[ironwill]

Calves are a genetic thing big time...I believe they can be improved for sure, but soooo m uch relies on their natural shape and insertions...keep on pumpin...then maybe shave, looks much more impressive...

[cheesesteak]

Where is a good insertion point? Mine are fairly low.

[ironwill]

Where is a good insertion point? Mine are fairly low.
IMO it is desireable to have them insert nice and low, if you see many african american folk, they have very high and short calves, looks like long ankles, it is nice to see nice low as possible to achilles tendon and then fill them up.....
You guys ever notice some overweight folks have huge ripped calves??
I believe they are a white muscle or fast twitch muscle, that require lots of reps and weight to grow...Maybe im off on that thought...I havent done a lot of research regarding calves...
I just do a lot of static holds and stretching at the bottom and try and go at a decent rep rate, but not to fast, let them stretch out, power them up, and let them slowly go back to the stretch....

[cheesesteak]

I hear you on fat people having huge calves. I always see the big fat guys repping the whole stack like it's nothing.

[dremen]

I use the tanning bed all the time, but it never really tans my legs?

And why in the hell should i start shaving my legs? It's not like im going to step on stage any time soon so it would just be another thing i need to do every day.....lol

Hey do you guys use tanning oil for the beds? If so how the hell do you get it on your back evenly?

Thanks.

[GYMBRAT]

LOL........I use accelerator in the beginning mths of the yr and just ask the front desk girl (if she's hot) to give me a "hand" :)

Way to jack my thread dude:D

[tiramisu]

I've never understood why people have such tiny little calfs.

Myself, I was born without ankles. I have feet ,calfs and knees. It's much more efficient this way because you never have to worry about spraining an ankle.

Try to choose you parents better next time.

[IronMan]

Sorry Dremen, just realized I jacked your thread as well.

No worries bro, your calf is as big as a calf.....lol

Good job man now how about you post up your routine for calfs:)

[Shortdave]

I thought I would resurrect this thread to show off what happens after you snap your achilles tendon, I lost about an inch off the right one, and the left... well you can see for yourself.

[baza]

Damn, at first I thought you were saying you lost only an inch off the left one compared to the right one.

[AlladdinSane]

I took the picture and still have trouble believing that it looks like that.

[L3]

wow SD your leg looks like it belongs to a ms patient...that sucks big time dude :(

[ironwill]

Holy moly sd, get well soon bro, can they fix it???
Dont think you look like a MS patient, but it does look like it hurts...sorry to hear bro......

[Shortdave]

Yeah it was one of the less cool things that I have done, but it has really focused me in regards to future training, I am gonna get hyooge.

And it is fixed, now I just have to go through the whole "stretch out the tendon" process and the "rebuild your muscle" stuff

[C-money]

wow Dave! That achilles must be super tight now eh

[ironwill]

[QUOTE=Shortdave;276621]Yeah it was one of the less cool things that I have done, but it has really focused me in regards to future training, I am gonna get hyooge.

[Shortdave]

I knew that it would be tight but I never imagined that anything could be like this....










... that's what she said.

[nisser]

ouch SD...how long did it take to waste away the leg to that point?

[GYMBRAT]

yeouch dude!!! I kinda went through that same muscle loss situation when I tore both my ACLs, took a stupid amount of work to get them back to so, so...still no where near what they were prior to the moto-x accident though....SUCKS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[Shortdave]

ouch SD...how long did it take to waste away the leg to that point?

It took about 7 weeks, lets see if I can put it back on in the same amount of time.

I tore my mcl a few years back and after it repaired I haven't noticed it at all, so I am hoping that I am lucky with injuries and this goes back to normal... but who knows.

[GYMBRAT]

well all the best of luck to ya bro seriously! yeah both my ACLs don't feel the same at all anymore, can't completely flex neither of my quads to 100%...all well work with what I have right :)

[GYMBRAT]

It took about 7 weeks, lets see if I can put it back on in the same amount of time.

shoulda combined posts but ah well.....I was gonna say that yeah it's amazing at how long or short of time it takes to lose what ya built hey bro!!

[natenator]

very different injuries. You'll struggle for a bit I believe but with proper rehab the range of motion and mobility will come back.

Yeah, my goal is to squat 600 within a year of being cleared for gym duty.
