I know that this has been asked probably loads on here but I would really appreciate some advice.
I have tiny calves but at least my right calf has a reasonable amount of definition. I know I will never have big calves but it would be cool if at least they were abit closer in definition.
The program I use is 5/3/1 and currently BBB template plus I do a few sets of calf exercises at the end on Deadlift and Squat days.
What would be the best way to catch up the left calf?
I think these are the options
Only do isolation exercises for my left calf for a few months and it might catch up.
Do isolation exercises for both calves and then a few extra sets for left calf.
Dont worry about it and carry on doing squats, deads and press etc.
Sometimes I think number 3 option is the best, especially since I am doing a strength program but it does suck that people who don’t train have bigger calves.
As someone who has been here before, I can tell you how mine got imbalanced. I have problems with my right hip, and as such it seemed that every time I was standing somewhere, I was putting the majority of my weight on my left leg. This went on for years, and then one day I realized that, and started intentionally trying to put more weight on my right, and they slowly started evening out. I also would just do one legged standing calf raises a few times throughout the day, nothing drastic, but a little extra work and volume for the smaller leg.
