Make no mistake - i looked like an oddball - but i really, really wanted bigger calves, and i figured looking like a simpleton was worth it.

I'd experimented with all sorts of routines and nothing much made much difference - i almost gave up on them altogether, until one day i made the decision to train them every day at the start of whatever else i was training - everything i ever read told me that this would be over training but it actually worked!
Add this to the fact that every few months i would go to the gym and spend a half a day training nothing but calves just to shock them further and eventually i started getting some results - see pic below.

Certainly nothing special - but when you consider that i have very high insertions (and therefore poor propensity for calf mass) and that i managed to take the feckers from 14" to 19" then it becomes a more significant achievement.
Still to this day if there was one thing i could change about my physique it would be calves - and ive yet to see a pair on anyone that are "too big"
nice calves mate
