If you want big calves there is a simple solution.

Go runnning.

Or try biking. My brother bikes a lot in the summer, up and down all the hills in the city, and his calves are actually unnerving.

For those people claiming running increases mass to increase the size of their calves. That is only half correct. To truly build mass while doing a calf raise at the gym, increase you time undertension! This goes for any muscle when you are trying to build mass over strength. Personally I've enjoyed 1 second up, 2 second static hold, and a 3 second negative. Cheers funnyjunk

Or you could do tap dancing. Not that old school style that Fred Astaire did but more like what the TapDogs do (google them). I'm a tap dancer/teacher and my calves are "majestic mounds of flesh that could easily support a small civilization within their hairy forest" (Actual quote from somebody, you don't forget **** like that)

I do a **** load of running myself (as well as lift) and my carves have never gone big. I reckon it comes down to genetics.

Here's a question. I already have big calves and i can calf press about 500 kg for 30 reps. would running still help?

probably yes, given that it would train your calves in a different fashion to the way you normally train, instigating growth.

seriously, with all the lifting ive done, and im someone who ALWAYS worked calves, I never got big calves until I started running. I could calf raise 175kg for 20 reps on the leg press and I had small calves. after doing 30 mins a week of running my calves got way bigger. In my experience, to get big calves you gotta ******* run.

You're active duty military and you hate squats? I'm not sure about what military you're in, but in the USMC we ran, and ******* ran, and ran, and ran o's, and ran. We then PT'd and then ran some ******* more.

Also, I was pretty thin and lean for my service time, after I got out I got a lot bigger (not even fatter, just, bigger). Once you can find a cushy base or EAS out of service eating as much food as you want and working out gets you a helluva lot bigger.

That makes sense since there are two separate muscles in your calf; one is worked by high weight, low repetition, and the other is worked by low weight and high repetition from things such as running.

Honestly, it's cool and all, but this 'kid weightlifters' thing always strikes me as almost as ****** as the parents who dress their 5-year-old daughters up as sluts and put them through beauty pageants. At least Honey Boo Boo isn't risking ******* spinal injuries

It's safe for kids to lift small weights with proper form, though I probably wouldn't start that young. Maybe 12 or 13 when they could actually use the exercise.

Weight-lifting in general isn't something you should be doing until you're around 16. Kids should stick to calisthenic exercises.

You only get the leg balls if you only weightlift since that works the gastroc muscles. If you do cardio as well then you work the soleus muscles which evens out your legs and makes them not look retarded.
