Thread: Gains Below The Knee

Calves have been a bit of a slow gain zone for me, but reciently I have been able to increase the size of my calves by adding High volume sprints with short recovery periods Just adding 5-10 Min twice week has my calves pumped and looking bigger.To be honest I do not enjoy this part of my overall program(it is a killer) It has helped me tho to look forward to leg days in the gym, now that I can see development in that area.Sprinting stimulates the release of anabolic hormones,muscles become insulin-sensitive,absorbing more nutrients = growth.Starting off with 4-5 90 yard sprints with 90 sec rest Adding 1-2 Spirts per wk to keeping the difficulty level on overdrive I aim to make this session a short, sharp, shock. I wish you well with your struggle and though I might explain what I am doing. All the very best brother. HandyWarsse

Try jogging in the soft sand at the beach. If you throw in some sprints you will be amazed at the growth of you quads/hams too.
