Swole shoulders...swole arms...thin calves

[Gil Scott-Heroin]

i will say this, those who jump rope regularly and/or sprint seem to always have good calves

Generally, yes, but Ballet dancers have the GOAT calves.

Possibly genetical but every muscle can grow and their another muscle. Mine are stubborn as shyt to. Cycling helps a lot, you see cyclists calfs??

It's just harder for black people to get them to grow IMO.

I rode bikes heavy as a kid and I still do somewhat. Calf game is pretty good. Think about it. You are pretty much on the balls of your feet the whole time... constant tension.

It's definitely genetic. However, size doesn't always equal strength. Look at Jon Jones legs, for example.

Generally, it's dependent on the level of the gastrocnemius-insertion - the lower the insertion, the more pronounced/larger the muscle-belly; the higher the insertion, the less pronounced/smaller the muscle-belly.

The scale of insertion, typically (low to high) = Asian → White → Black; body-type also plays an integral part - which is why Ray Allen, literally could be Jesus.

Damn you too breh? I got them calves and forearms but my wrists and ankles just shyt on everything like " TOO BAD nikka"

You're pretty much fukked as far as ankles/wrists go arent you?

Yup, SOL on em. I've researched the shyt and even contemplated fat injections in my wrists.

Genetics play a reasonable role in the size of your calves. Koreans have such thick calves that calf reduction surgery is one of the most popular surgeries there.

I do the whole fukking stack, but my calves look like i don't even think about working legs.

Jump rope my dude. You build stronger bigger calves in time.

Straight up. Skipping rope is the truth. It definitely helped mine. Hill sprints too. But honestly, I think it has everything to do with genetics.

My quads and hams and glutes tho

 

[Dark Knyght]

I got the whole skinny wrists and ankles thing going on with me as well.


White dudes the biggest calves and motherfukkas still can't jump.

Lol I'm the total opposite to u guys, My calves are but my arms arent swole. I do that machine where your laying at a 60 degree angle raising the weight you put on. I forgot the name but it helps the calves and ankles alot and it helps your jumping.

Lot of white brays (particularly Mediterraneans) have those low calf insertions

That is really like 75% of the battle

 

[semtex]

Mine have grown but not convincingly lol.
