Today at the gym…
(before training !)

Week 3 - Balance isn’t much of an issue anymore, and I can just plow right through the burn. Feeling a good squeeze for more reps is getting better, too.
Still stuck at 15.5", but I’m only halfway through.
Day 1 - 100/57
Day 2 - 100/70
Day 3 - 100/76
Day 4 - 100/81
Day 5 - 100/86
Day 6 - 100/95
Day 7 - 100/100 Finally able to feel a proper squeeze on all reps.
Mine (the right one) is 13" 3/8 relaxed
Started at 13" before bulking (january)

well that doesnt show much
how the heck do I get a better picture of it? I can’t seem to get a good behind the calf shot, which is what everyone else has done (It’s not impressive, just fair warning). Are there lighting tricks or anything? I’m not good at photography…
I get my wife to take my pics. For progress pics, it’s best to take them in lighting that shows the best detail. When you take an ‘after’ pic, try and take it from the same angle, in the same spot, in the same light.
If your camera has a timer function, use that. Even my phone camera has a timer on it.
I may have to find and read a manual for it then. I know it has one, I’m just not sure how to use it. Thanks!
Honestly, I think my calves look worse then they did before I started this.
what about you guys any positive or negative results?
Pics or it didn’t happen. You know the rules.
Haven’t taken after pics yet. They’ve grown back up to their best, but haven’t gone past it.
I don’t think this is a good idea for anyone
We spend most of our lives with our foot extended and it can cause ankle problems (I would know, I’ve had them for that reason)
None of you have considered the possibility of tendonitis?
At least make sure you guys are stretching your ankles/calves in the flexed position as well. It’s really easy to lose flexability/strength there and that WILL cause ankle pain.
How did everyones results go here? I’d love to get a few more of these experiment threads going
Is this still going? I’ve just started today, thinking “what the hell, why not?”
I’ve never trained my calves before, guess I was just gifted with fatboy calves (though I do need to drop weight, currently around 20%BF).
Currently sitting at 16.75" (right leg, left leg is 16.5") if I’m reading the tape right:
I’m going back to several sets with a barbell held against my legs in front of me (standing). Figure it can work my forearms a bit too from holding it. This didn’t produce any visible growth for me. granted I missed 2 days, but 2 days out of 25+ shouldn’t be a killer as far as results.
My calves are a bit more solid than they were before I guess, but that’s it. Certainly no more definition or anything.
