How to build up your skinny calves

How To Build Up your skinny calves

IF YOU are a bodybuilder you now doubt know how stubborn your calves are to build. Because of all the training that the calves receive on a daily basis, such as walking, running or even standing, the calves are especially tough and stubborn to grow, so the solution according to most experts is as follows:
”bombard them with more training and more work”

I am here to tell you that this is wrong! Wrong! Wrong!

Here is some common sense that most “experts forget” to analyze, you see if the calves are already over worked by daily activity , what is the rational in going to the gym and performing more work?

Wouldn’t all that “extra exercise” make the situation worse…and send your already tired calves into a state of over training with the end result that you make zero gains in your calves?

The solution is not more work but harder work! This means you actually should train your calves less but more intensely

Walking and running are low intensity exercises for the calf muscles, and performing 20 sets in the gym for calves is also a low intensity workout for the

 


calves...

To try to build your calf muscles with high rep –low intensity training is like trying to put out a fire with gas….it is nonsensical…

Your Solution! Pick the donkey calf raise exercise and perform no more than one set of this calf exercise, use heavy weights and use perfect form, using an absolute full range of motion, making sure you take the set to full positive failure, which is the point in a set where completing another repetition is impossible…
That is it! And you may ask!
What is the ideal number of sets to perform?
Just one
How many exercises?
Just one!
How often should you train your calves
no more than once a week…once every two weeks is even better
it is that simple folks…try it and see it work!
