I’m not sure if it’s genetics but playing soccer and doing a lot of jump rope gave me thick calves (:dame:)

Why don't you google a calves blaster workout and do it?

It seems like it's genetalky harder for black guys calves to show compared to non blacks imo.

get the strength shoes

tape or ace bandage you ankles...walk in them....jump up and down.....and jump rope in them

do not do any running or lateral movements in them..prone to injury


i have poor genetics for calves and this is the only thing that worked

The growth of your calves is dependent on your assertion points (the higher it is, the less pronounced your calves will be, because the belly will be smaller). It's why Black folks typically have smaller calves because they have higher calf insertions than every other race. And needless to say, you're going to have to put on more weight if you want to add size to the belly that you do have - only 205lbs at 6'5" ain't gonna cut it.

Really? Blacks have smaller calves?

I mean in my immediate fam we all got big calves.

I do no work on my calves whatsoever for that reason.

Still constantly get asked if I ran track—get asked what I do to have such defined strong calves.

Not a damn thing. Genetics.

It's not necessarily because you have "defined, strong" calves, it's because of where the insertion point of your bellies are. And yes, Blacks, in general, have higher insertions than Whites, Asians etc - not all, but just in general. And unless you're aware of your ancestry in this country, your insertion points may have been passed down from Mr. White.
I never had calf muscles like that and I use to have dunk contest with a number 1 pick nikkas use to be surprised I had bounce like that cause my legs skinny af
Nygga why the humble brag, just say you ain’t have calves either :mjlol:
But that's the payoff for not having calves, so to speak, is that your Achilles tendons are longer (than someone who has bigger medial and lateral gastroc bellies), and therefore, gives you greater elasticity/spring to sprint and jump.
