Loaded carries seem to be the only thing that get my calves moving. And when I say moving, if you look really hard, at just the right angle, you’d still probably disagree.

I agree. I tried everything on my calves.
Daily training, training on upper body day only at all angles, doing Oly lifts and jumps, machines, free weights, giant sets, HIT, extra walking, extra running, skipping, blitzes, linear progression, block periodisation …
Nothing.
Once I turned to strongman, I carried yokes, ran with kegs and farmers handles. I lifted stones and logs.
Since then, my calves have blown out a full 0.5cm lol

One of these days…
Funny enough, I’m a very hyperactive person & it was no different in my youth. Watching tv & playing video games, I sat in a rocking chair & rocked (I guess it’s a hyperactive coping mechanism).
However, I rocked only using my right leg. After about a decade, my right calf was about 1/2 an inch larger than my right. I only did calf raises on my left leg for years to bridge the divide. They are close now, but my right is still more developed in a lot of areas.
Haha I have a friend who does a lot of driving and has a very stiff clutch (hey now!)… same deal!!

I don’t play video games but I have a strong feeling my wife is going to be addicted to them if I find something she likes. I’m thinking about doing it.
It would save me from the hours of Korean TV dramas where people do nothing but cry, yell at each other and cry, have large family dinners and cry and a Chairman of a major corporation can get ousted and reduced to shining shoes while crying because he obviously no other marketable skills other than heading a major corporation…

Well congratulations. I’m probably one hell of spider then, that you’ve had the pleasure of interacting with online lol. Complete with gnarly pincers, eight eyes, and fuzz everywhere to match, because I remember one time I almost slammed my moms challenger into another car because a tiny spider appeared on the dash board.
Then another time I was making something on the stove and a medium sized spider creeped across the counter and I immediately broke down in tears. Burned my food and everything.

I feel you… sort of.
I mainly miss sleeping in my bed. With just me in it. Sometimes.
Now I get to wake up to, what I’m sure are sweaty balls just completely plastered to the outside of my leg, and furry ass armpit hair gently scraping the tip of my nose.
Every. Freaking. Morning.

If it helps, our munchkin sleeps in our beds most nights. He usually wakes my wife up by snuggling up backwards to her really close and then farts.

Ha! That’s so cute though. When kids do typical human stuff it’s adorable.
Every time a kid farts I’m like, “zzzawwww so cute!”
When an older guy farts I’m like, “here comes the heavy artillery”.

Haha, I was about to write how I’ve eaten crickets/scorpions before so I’d have a crack at those but then I found this review of eating them and my word they do not look tasty!
There is nothing cute about my 8 yr old daughters farts. They are fken deadly and she has no issues dropping them at any moment. When you are cuddled up watching a movie- tick, when you are in a queue at the bank or supermarket - tick, when you are talking to her teacher at school - tick, in your bed - tick, on your lap - tick.
She is a demon !!!

Our son slept with us for a long time when he was ~2 y.o. He would sleep with his head on my pillow. Both of us would be on our sides, facing the same direction, with him in front of me (ie, between me and his mom). About once or twice a month, he would startle in the middle of the night and whip his head backwards into the bridge of my nose. Nothing like being awakened from a sound sleep by the feeling of taking a pool cue across the nose. Of course, he would immediately fall back asleep. Me, not so much.

I took 3 of those this morning!
We have been pretty strict about him being in his own bed. He has his early morning milk in our bed and then put him back in his room, the odd morning we let him stay though and he loves a good head butt.

Hahaha that’s sounds just awful. If I had those problems I’d be pining for my very own bed too.I’m so happy that as the only one with balls or armpit hair I don’t have to worry about either of those things!

He’s never been a headbutter. He’s a groin puncher though. Not sure but I think I wouldn’t mind headbutts instead.

My one randomly sleeps either way around (ie head facing to the top amd head facing to the bottom of the bed). So it’s a lucky dip each night
I’m glad it’s not just me with the bed hoping kids.
Genuine night back in November:
Eldest wakes up come to my bed,
I go to spare room double bed.
Youngest wakes up goes to my bed.
Wife gets tired of getting no room in our bed joins me in spare room. Leaving the kids to the kingsize.
Eldest wakes up joins us in spare room.
I leave and go back to my bed.
Youngest spends 30 mins kicking the shit out of me (in his sleep)
I go upstairs to eldest bedroom single bed.
Eldest gets “bored” of being in the spare room (direct quote). Throws me out of his bed.
I go back to the spare room, wife and youngest are in there.
I end up in my own bed. After 5h of messing about.
