Calf Training For Mass: 4 Tips To Build Skinny Calves
http://www.SeanNal.com/articles/training/calf-training-for-mass.php
If you weren’t blessed in the genetics department, the struggle to get big calves is definitely a tough one. The calves are very low in androgen receptors, and if you have a high-inserting calf tendon, calf training for mass definitely requires extra focus in order to see real results.
Here are 4 tips to build skinny calves and finally pack on some noticeable size…
#1: During your standing calf raise movements, raise yourself up onto your big toe rather than the entire ball of your foot. This maximizes the activation of the inner portion of your calf that contains the greatest percentage of the total muscle mass.
#2: Use a stance slightly outside of shoulder width. This prevents your foot from rolling outward, and again, keeps the tension on the inner portion of the gastrocnemius. When it comes to calf raise foot position, most people go too narrow and compromise their results.
#3: Minimize the use of momentum by slowing down your reps. For proper calf raise form, pause in the bottom position for a full 2 seconds, raise yourself up as quickly as possible, hold at the top for 1 second and then lower yourself in 3-4 seconds.
#4: Make sure to not bend your knees anymore than very slightly. If you want to gain calf muscle effectively, you need to focus on building the gastrocnemius head. Bending your knees activates the soleus, which is only a fraction of the size.
So, if you want to get rid of those skinny calves and pack on some real size, follow these 4 calf training tips for mass and you should notice an immediate improvement in your calf workouts and resulting muscle growth. Building bigger calves is not easy, but with consistency and hard training you can definitely achieve some impressive gains over time.
