Calf Workout - An awesome set of thick, diamond-shaped calves is one of those “little” things that really sets a great physique apart from a mediocre one.
Small, under-developed calves, on the other hand, become a glaring weak point as your upper body develops and also give the rest of your legs a bad name. You could be squatting 400 pounds but if your calves aren’t up to snuff, it’ll look like you’ve got chicken legs.
Muscular, strong calves aren’t just for looks either–they help support and stabilize your body during lifts like the Deadlift and Squat, and also during just about every sport you can name. In fact, strong, developed quads and hamstrings can be counterproductive in many sports unless you’ve got calves strong enough to control the force the upper leg can generate as it gets transferred into the ground and redirected.
Weak calves mean shorter jumps, slower running speeds, less stable squats and deadlifts, and a higher risk of knee injury in various sports.
In many cases simple neglect is the problem (like abs, many people forget to train calves or think it’s unnecessary), but as you’ll soon see, there are genetic barriers to work through as well.
So, in this app, Calf Workout, we’ll look at the barriers to building big calves that will quickly add size and strength to your calves.
