"Never sacrifice your form for weight" Ron,you're a Legend

[@AngelosTheodorou]

I feel so thankfull that I accidentally found this channel. Ron definetaly deserves much more subscribers and views! I actually used this tip and I had a pump in my calves that I have never seen before, even with lighter weight! God bless you Ron

[@LuKe31197]

This is probably the most in depth and detailed explanation for calf training I have ever found. You brought up some really useful tips that I have never heard before. You earned a new sub!

[@samuelstrachenmusic1999]

It's amazing that you can get this ripped naturally. I appreciate your videos. Keep up the good work and God bless you.

[@georgeisaak5321]

Mister Ron thank you for caring enough to explain all those tips to the people because otherwise all of us will do it the wrong way !

[@paulstoolbox]

Thanks Ron, you are a great teacher!

[@davidtran5895]

Thank you Ron! I have been working out for two yrs and doing my calves exercises turning out instead of in! You’re the first to address this valuable tip! God bless you Ron!

[@TX-Ford]

Every other calf video I looked at gave me no new knowledge. I have never heard about this, I'm confident it will help. Thank you.

[@joemesseri494]

This guy is brilliant. Guys like him should be the ones they feature in Bodybuilding magazines instead of these hormone enhanced freaks of nature. This guys emphasizes form, function and aesthetics which is what body building is about and he always stresses safety and dispels all these myths that are noting more than locker room broscience

[@alexanderkaracsony8830]

oh so youre not dead :/

[@Largeandincharge22]

Word

[@EndTimeMedia]

I must say that this is the first calf video I've seen that gave me the info this one did. It makes sense and I believe it will help me greatly. Thanks Ron!!!

[@jonathanmohabir6014]

I can tell that ur a Minister of the Gospel, so I'll address u appropriately. Rev. This video is 100% the best advice and great info with awesome explanation!!! Thanks a lot... All this time I've been doing out/middle/in calves... Now I found the correct and most effective way thanks Rev. God bless you too!!!

[@rignalnmaleespeaks]

Mr Ron. I am a newbie to your channel and to body building so it only makes sense that I am educated correctly by the best. I appreciate your knowledge and the time explaining how to do it right!

[@goldenera4ever]

" You just want to kill those kind of people" lol! I completely understand.

[@rminitials]

I was definitely not blessed with great calf genetics. But they're growing slowly but surely. I do however have a big chest, good back, solid arms and nice quad sweep . In my opinion. Weak hams and calves, traps too i guess. My point is, try to be thankful for what you DO have. I forget sometimes but I have to remind myself that even if I wasn't blessed in one area, I certainly was in another. Prospective.

[@manuelolivares4236]

rminitials I have big quads and hamstrings but terribly small calves. I use to think I was the most unlucky person ever. Just realizing some folks are missing limbs and have other disabilities that don’t allow them to train traditionally, made me more great full. Prospective is key.

[@Spideyxman]

[@maceothompson2353]

I'm glad that i found this channel! I'm a natural bodybuilder and these are the little tips i need to improve my weak points! Thanks!!!!!

[@rminitials]

Very good video. I've watched many how-to calves videos and this one explained things in very interesting ways. Thank you.

[@yosefabdiel6139]

I recognized this while running on the treadmill. What your saying is true. If you walk right you can essentially achieve the same effect.

[@THELEEGASPARI]

Ron Williams, you are really an exceptional trainer. Love the way you explain and demonstrate the movements. Please don't be offended, but I liken you to Vince Del Monte. Thank you for all you're doing.

[@MBengul]

very good content

[@Blankadoodledo]

why wasn't this channel recommended to me sooner? this is fantastic. so glad i subscribed.

[@alexrodriguez8767]

I've worked on my skinny calves for years and I've never heard of these little nuances. I'll be back with a report in a few weeks.

[@AL-ru7wj]

So, what can you say?

[@andrewb4470]

Thank you Ron!! Putting the pressure on your toes is a major factor in building big calves. It's the reason ballet dancers have such large calves.

[@TheAera72]

Andrew B and cyclists to,if you think about how they push off there big toes

[@pedrinajohansen-maevlogs4298]

Can you do more leg exercises for big legs😊

[@guloy1]

"you rotate in" (AAAAHHHHHHH)

[@tonyharden139]

Thanks Ron! I am the one who have those small calves and trying to get them to grow.

[@Fijdksk1997]

Love ya Ron from UK love a gym session with ya son!! Keep up the good work

[@garyhart3060]

I like his thoughts on less weight more technique 👍knows his stuff!!

[@tommyhill34]

Thanks Ron for this great info. I have structural issues with my legs (bad knees and a bad right ankle) but now knowing that the secret is focusing on the big toe to get the peak contraction of the calf is a gold nugget that I can work with and I'm glad that concentration on form over weight is exactly the right thing to do - not just for the calves, but the entire approach to each body part.

[@dees4130]

Great video, Ron! Love the way you break it down and explain everything in great detail. Really helps a beginner like me. Keep the videos coming!

[@matthewcarrier9079]

Thanks for the wonderful information, it has been beneficial.

[@barrygoldwasser5449]

Another gem by Ron! Thanks buddy! You're the best

[@Xtinkxiion]

I always rotated out and wondered why my calves never grew... THANK YOU!

[@coastlifelive9992]

so glad I discovered this channel. very informative

[@anthscott1773]

Thanks man, I bet you wish you had calf's like the ones you show on your picture , some people have fantastic genetics in there calf's and some people have to nearly die to get half decent cslfs, mine look like the same structure as yours so it's nice to get great tips god bless

[@zgralewski]

Great explanation. Thank you.

[@Ahmed-qo1hi]

thank you our coach i will try it

[@juniorjaquez4257]

He is a guru. Smart man

[@TanyaScorpio]

Thank you so very much my brother. I could definitely feel a difference with the proper stance. I remember seeing you in Mr Olympia about 20 years ago.. looking good.

[@TheAwakez]

Very... Very useleful tips Ron! Thanks!

[@tcrvo01]

Great video even years later

[@deancarter6233]

Awesome info Ron. Didn't know about how you should concentrate on the big toe, going inward like that. Will try it. Haven't worked out since 1980 and started again 2 years ago.I'm 53 now. I've always had smallish legs and I decided to really work on my legs this time around. I'm making excellent headway, particularly my calves. They've been growing in strength and size constantly. I HAVE been going all the way down, and all the way up, but not necessarily going on the big toe. However, I know I haven't been leaning outward either. I'm very deliberate in my motion and always pushing the amounts of weight higher, bit by bit. Very exciting. Back in the 70's when I was a teen my gym was the very first in town and it was also the only gym to incorporate the Nautilus chain-driven machines (still have them to this day), so I was also taught the Arthur Jones/Ellington Darden method of high intensity training. I am thoroughly back into training and loving it more than when I first trained as a young man. The owner of the gym, at that time was 70 and in peak shape. He lived in the front of the building and the gym was in the rear. Being just 13 and not having much money, he allowed me to clean the gym once a week for membership. Lasted for three years until I got my first girlfriend, and that kinda ended my free time for working out. Anyhow, glad to come across your vids tonight and will continue watching. Really appreciate your style of teaching. Thanks bro, and God bless you.

[@fabrice8940]

Interesting read 5 years later! Great story and journey

[@yardblah5161]

such useful info especially as I have knee injuries. good stuff Ron

[@amrikbangar4901]

thank you for this useful tip..i have been doing outwards and using lots of weight..

[@alexismamadou2193]

Damn! I found it: the Best Calf Video of All Time. I do wanna squeeeeeze now.

[@onerider808]

Another great tip

[@yuricarralero467]

Great explanation, Ron!! You just got a new subscriber.

[@terrenceclark763]

Thank you for this great advice, Ron. I've been doing calf raises wrong all this time.

[@rickmuller3119]

Excellent. Thank you. Best advice and aquired knowledge to date.

[@georgigeorigev919]

Тhanks Ron, it was the best explanation of all the clips I've seen ! Great videos :)

[@seoulseoul5946]

Excellent video

[@godsbeast.69]

I don’t think there’s any secrets to building calves. Most important factors are to go beyond. I built 20”calves with freaky tibia no gear or hormones Hard and heavy With Extreme contraction until you reach complete failure, That’s when My sets begin. It’ll take you to another realm.

[@calvinhuynh2540]

Thanks ron very helpful information! my calves have been lacking for so long!

[@DWDM-101]

Thanks a lot for sharing. Very useful calves workout tips.

[@hugoaltamirano6204]

Nice tip man thanks

[@con2mms2000]

Excellent tip... I'll follow your channel 🤘

[@terryjoseph4368]

Ron nice tips for leg press but I prefer keeping my legs close my inner legs were over developed

[@BlindEyE32]

When he grunts it reminds me of MR T in Rocky 3 but I do like Ron no BS with him.

[@moki7027]

The most informative video for calf training! Tnx!

[@Slazbob]

I don’t feel as much on the big toe…I kind of keep the pressure on the entire ball of foot. You can watch John Meadows and he rolled his foot away from the big toe and had great calves. What ever helps feel the contraction. But very good information here!

[@pedieasuncion4277]

so ruff so tuff out here thank you coach

[@jamesbaxendale188]

Great video on calfs Ron clearly know your stuff and appreciate you sharing this info with us there's really not a lot in depth videos on biomechanics awesome job sir keep them coming 💪👊

[@abena2021]

Great advice ...thanks

[@___Saint]

great vid!

[@nathanielwalters5348]

I workout at Planet Fitness and they only one calf machine. I use the similar workouts for working calves. I'll have to purchase a calf stand. Good information.

[@veruckthund2010]

Hey Mr. Williams that is some very good insight on the calf types and training. Thx for that info. I tore my right achilles tendon back in 2004. The tear affected my rt calf; I've tried to build it back up, but only with minor success. What can i do to build it back up??

[@kylekutscher788]

Thank you for the information and inspiration you provide in your videos. - Kyle K.

[@mbatekeyssizehn6530]

Very helpful thanks

[@larryg.6195]

Thank you for sharing!!!

[@Avi.Kashyup]

I was searching for inner calf exercises when I found your video. I must tell I have exactly same calves as yours ie outer muscle is bigger than the inner muscle.

[@patrickrodriguez3275]

Awesome vid! Liked shared and subbed💯👊

[@jeffi.8074]

I love these videos! THANK YOU!

[@flacovences2769]

thank you big man, clearly I see what I was doing wrong, I wil definetely include your advice to my routines.

[@SellwithDanTaylor]

Ron what do you think about leg press calf raises

[@TomThaBom94]

thankyou ron, very usefull. I have a question: I have a little knee injury, and I know I have to give is soms rest. But Im afraid to lose muscle if I skip a legday.. so after how long of not training do you lose muscle?

[@Ironchestmastervip]

+Tom Eeckhout The first thing I would say about the injury is when the body is in pain that is a built in mechanism of protection. What were you doing that caused the pain? Whatever it was - I would stop. There are some leg exercises that will definitely cause injury if you deviate from good form. This is one of the reasons why we created Arc Movement Technology -- first is to protect you from injury and secondly to develop the maximum amount of muscle in the least amount of time. It is hard to advise you specifically without knowing all of the details and without seeing your form and technique. Squats are the number one exercise to build muscle and done correctly can rehab bad knees, but if done poorly can completely destroy the knee and the same with leg extensions. The muscle depending on how hard you have worked them need between 24 and 72 hours for recovery after 72 hours the muscle should be worked again. There is a saying "no pain - no gain". There is a difference between muscle soreness from working out and muscle and joint damage. Be careful and don't further injure yourself for fear of losing your gains. God bless you I hope you heal soon. Let me know. Ron

[@TomThaBom94]

+Ron Williams ron, thankyou really much for all the effort you took to answer me! Im from the Netherlands so my english is not that good but let me try: in the past there was a period I used to do a lot of things that entrusted my knees. I ran 10/15 kilometres often, I had to do work where I had to sit on my knees a lot, and, I think I used to squat with a imperfect form. After doing this for 2/3 years I notice my knee(s) are experiencing the consequences. I could run less and less because of stabbings in my knee. Unfortunately I had to stop running. Now I know how to squat and deadlift etc. But the damage made in the past is really frustrating. I know I have to give it enough rest, but I feel bad when I cant perform my daily routine.. I have another question if you dont mind: I was looking back at your videos and I heard you saying you don't do shoulder presses. I was training my shoulders today and thought about. And Im wondering: are you training the same muscles if you do side raises as you do shoulder presses? Because if not, is there another exercise to train the same muscles as you train while doing shoulder presses? Thanks for the time and energy, your videos are amazing

[@Ironchestmastervip]

+Tom Eeckhout God bless you -- I hope this helps! kzbin.info/www/bejne/q5Wnd32ji9Z5btk

[@DJSickey]

i now this is too late answer, and i hope that your pain was gone long time ago... but for the future "so after how long of not training do you lose muscle?" do NOT worry about that , because once built muscle, can easily be re-built again, much easier than building it from the scratch. Safety and health on the 1st place, as Ron said, then worry about muscle loss. I had a periods when i didnt worked out for couple of months, talking about 3-4 months, because i was lazy... i lost my arm gains , but i always get them back between 2 weeks and 1 month. Which is much faster then how much i needed time to get them gains in the 1st place.

[@PersonalFitness3]

LOL, I know the feeling! Here I am trying to build these stubborn calves and a few of my friends walk around effortlessly with these amazing calves as if they were just born that way. 😎

[@Chavacano]

Thank you Sir.

[@juniorjaquez4257]

Brilliant

[@jovaniorosa22]

Thank you Ron

[@jazminpaz4219]

I will try these

[@jamelwoodson6230]

Appreciate the tips!!! I have the high calf with the long bone underneath. I'm not one of those gifted with big calves. Question, what about calf raises on the lying leg press machine; how efficient are those?

[@gilbertcastro7621]

Ayo! Sir Ron, Thank you for helping us!

[@lutascosmin]

this was helpful

[@milanstojkovich1503]

what are some pros to short calfs? is there even any?

[@amrsamra2176]

i loved this video

[@alexcrowder1673]

If you already have huge calves but only in the inner leg, how do you build the outer calves? Is it just genetic shape? or is there a way to engage or isolate just the outer calves? my inner calves have a massive ledge but the outside has just a tiny ledge and I want both ledges to be similar in size like on the thumbnail of this video.

[@bullfighter9568]

Thank you so much!! You’re great 👍🏻

[@Ladyblue24]

[@sasikumar3284]

Hi sir I have very small calves. I want to build them little bigger. Which exercise will give results?

[@22dasean]

I have a question? I grew up playing sports from boxing, basketball, wrestling, college football. I have had a few injuries working out incorrectly . I am now 25 and I'm into calisthenics heavy now. When I used to lift weights no matter what I did my calfs never grew. I want to know how can I make my calf muscles bigger?
