How To Get BIGGER CALVES Regardless of Genetics!!

[@NaturalHypertrophy]

Train them everyday. Train them light. Train them heavy. Do high volume. Focus on the stretch. And don't be lazy on them and end up with 16 inches calves after years of training like me. Start working on them right now.

[@FabioRJ2023]

Fev Ola if you train them everyday they will grow! Trust me

[@NaturalHypertrophy]

@Fev Ola Train them harder. Overload them progressively. If you can double the load you can move using your calves there is no biological way for them not to grow.

[@dunklebaumwolle164]

@@NaturalHypertrophy should I do full power everyday? I have 1 leg day per week, never thought about doing a muscle e.g. calves everyday...

[@MrPureruckus]

@Fev Ola genetics isn't limiting you. Your belief they are a limit is.

[@MrPureruckus]

@@dunklebaumwolle164 well think about it. The calves are used to insane volume. Every step u take requires calves. So it makes sense that they can tolerate more volume than other muscle groups

[@thorsky2754]

Yes!!

[@liammorgans7329]

As someone here said, calves are used to very high volume due to walking etc. Something that blew my calves up massively is jogging in soft sand. I jog about 3-5km along the beach (if you have one near you, or a desert I guess) in the soft part of the sand. It kind of mimicks being a fat guy because your calves have to work extra hard to stabilise the weight.

[@shashwatprasad8650]

This is an underrated comment. Thank you!

[@Divinedreamer248]

I agreed, one time I was dragging a cooler full of beverage for about a mile on sand in a camping trip. I couldnt sleep that night. My calves were swollen I thought I was going to lose em that night.

[@FinalFormation]

Not only that, but do it in a good pair of zero drop shoes like Altra and use a toe strike. If you’ve never run with a toe strike, I HIGHLY recommend giving it a shot (especially with zero drops). Your calves with be on absolute fire after.

[@liammorgans7329]

@@FinalFormation I do it with no shoes on, the less false stability the better, so that the muscles can naturally do why they evolved to do.

[@FinalFormation]

@@liammorgans7329 Yeah, my preferred shoes are Vibram fivefingers for that same reason. Most folks used to traditional running shoes might find something like Altra’s a little more manageable.

again, 20 dollars, 20 videos, pretty damn simple

[@SirRebonack]

Great video! Seated calf raises never did anything for me until I learned to do standing ones correctly (going for full stretch, pausing at ends of the movement etc.). When I got some decent gains from that, I started doing seated ones again and I'm blown away at the results. Learning the mind-muscle connection was obviously easier for me doing the standing ones.

[@lucodm1052]

Thiss…I always did seated before and hardly saw results but it changed when I started doing standing and donkey

Thank you Ryan for keeping the videos short and not trying to milk it like everyone else with videos over 10 minutes

[@cvgurau]

This is fast becoming one of my favorite workout channels. Just good information delivered cleanly and without undue bombast, or overproduced video. Same reason I subbed to mountain dog. Keep it up 👍

[@-GH-]

That’s why I subbed. No bloat, just simplicity. Also the variations are perfect for my home gym. I don’t have endless machines and these are definitely helpful

[@4444kylercarpenter]

I would have to second that!!!

[@muddyboots7753]

[@bryngolden9133]

Agreed. When Ryan talked about dying a little inside I laughed out loud while walking on the treadmill with earbuds.

[@trevorlewis3900]

Everyone says how the vids are great because they’re short and concise but it’s so good I could easily watch for 20 min!

[@rajapusapati1]

I did calves every alternative day , high weight quality reps and body weights more reps on the other day. Result is my calves grew more than an inch in 40 days. I literally went from very skinny genetics calves to good prominent calves and everybody got shocked

[@Themoreyouknowthelessyouknow0]

This gives me hope 😂

[@Memesdotcom]

did you eat a shit tone of protein and sleep like crazy (also have you ever gotten a calf cramp)

[@Taparoo2]

That second exercise was like a one-legged variation of a donkey calf raise. Love the outside-the-box thinking.

[@shannonsamaroo469]

The GOAT of working out. Respect bro you're a major inspiration

[@Phuktup3]

Ryan, honestly, I love your channel. I wonder if you’ve ever heard of the “full range of partials”? I use that technique with your exercise selection and I believe it is the gold standard for gains, I am also a moron and don’t know what I’m talking about 99% of the time, but hey, I enjoy it. Thank you, from the bottom of right atrium. In the church of lifting you stand alone with your reforms and unorthodox ways. Thank you

Anything for strengthening the knees. Had to take about a month off from surgery, and my knees were just on fire from work and only getting in about half of my former training. Awesome videos I use a bunch of these exercises and a few weeks later I see people at the gym starting some of them.

[@Sampardhanani]

Just what i was looking for . As usual awesome big bro

[@TheDreamer_Awakens]

I've found the best calf exercise is when you kneel down (towel needed) tuck your toes and palm of your feet under a bar or heavy sofa and lean forward back and forth keeping the tension. Trunk slightly bent (if your body is straight it goes to your hamstrings.) Then watch your your calves blow up. Brilliant. I highly recommend

[@alejandrop.s.3942]

Like a nordic curl? I don't understand well what you mean.

[@bigbrother8285]

@@alejandrop.s.3942 yes. Like a Nordic curl but the lean fwd is as fwd as you can so that the balls of your feet graph onto the bar they're under and the calf tension begins. Picture a Nordic curl but with the lean fwd being where the magic happens instead of during the lean back.

Not a knock against Ryan because I absolutely love this channel but this workout bears a striking resemblance to a great deal of what John Meadows has been suggesting for years.
