Fat Calves vs. Slim Calves

Fat Calves vs. Slim Calves

We’ve talked a little about the different training techniques for certain people in getting bigger calves.  I’d like to show why Blake and I are on a new training program with different goals.  On the pic to the left, you see Blake with a slimmer yet more defined upper portion of the calve.  On the right is myself with a bigger looking leg, but with absolutely no definition.  In the last blog, I went over the training programs for slim calves (Blake on the left) and for fat calves (Brad on the right) and now you can visually see the differences.  See what you are lacking and follow the training regimen to fix the issue you are currently in.  Now in no way am I saying that Blake has the definition of Arnold’s calves, but just needs to have a focus on gaining overall size to the leg.  As you have seen from our monthly results page, I am only a 1/4 “bigger in circumference than Blake’s.  I would like to be several inches more, but I need to start adding some definition into that gastrocnemius muscle while Blake needs size in the soleus.  Both of us will continue to put on size in both departments, but now just slightly different in how we are going about it.  Stay tuned for month 2’s results.
