Getting Nice Looking Calf Muscle

You may walk around or bike all day and still nothing works to help you overcome that skinny calf muscles that you have. Doing a lot of workouts may give you bigger quadriceps muscles, but your calves would still be scrawny. They are firm and tight, but flat. You may do calf raises with heavy weights but no matter what, your Calf muscles may stay tiny. The reason for this is that unfortunately, calves are genetic. If you have skinny calves and work them like hell, you will have stronger skinny calves. World class body builders may have trouble making their calves bigger if their genes are not good.
Here are a few things you may try that can help:
• Running up stairs
• Power jumping (like in basketball)
• EXTREMELY heavy calf raises. You need heavy workouts because your calves are already working when you walk, run or bike.
So if you just hate your skinny calf muscles or you are shaping up for the summer, try the previously mentioned exercises, but keep in mind that it is tough because of your genes.
If the previously mentioned exercises do not work for you, try the following exercise; the drop sets:
Start with your maximum weight on a calf raise machine, perform the normal number of repetitions you usually do, then remove 10 pounds and quickly do another set, then remove another 10 pounds and so on until you reach 50 percent of your original weight. This is the ultimate way to train your calf muscles and may actually give you bigger calves. It is very hard work and you probably won’t be able to walk for a while after that exercise. The regular calf raises do not work your calves hard enough to stimulate growth of your skinny calf muscles but this will definitely make a change.
