The bit on calves hits close to home. Growing up skinny, I had shamefully small calves starting off. I eventually just started hammering away at my calves, just feeding them with an obscene frequency and volume. But once they reached a level where it didn't look like I skipped every single leg day ever, I just stopped and they shrunk about an inch since. Moral of the story is train your calves if it's really bothering you but it's just eventually pointless if you're not a bodybuilder and there will always be a father of 3 who never exercised with calves twice the size of yours.

When I was 19 years old, I took a flat dose of 5 mg dbol a day, for 40 days with my breakfast. Among other things, I didn't have money for more or for anything else. My bench press went from 105 kg to 135 kg on the 40th day exactly. 3 months later without taking anything, my bench was still 135 kg, I didn't lose any of the strength. Before that cycle, I had 3-4 years of lifting experience (not like following a program or something, just casual gym goer). I had a 3 months plateau at 105 kg on the bench before I started the dbol and it wasn't moving up.

I’ve been training my calves with moderate volume, a few reps from failure each set, 4-5 days a week for a little over a year now. They’ve definitely grown, probably less than an inch though, and I have a calf vein where none were visible before. I think people just treat calves like an after thought, bouncing the reps, going super hard but only once or twice a week, and stopping after 3 months. Honestly most people train calves the way I train arms, and there’s a reason I have shit arms.

I would say the only purpose of training calves in strength context is injury prevention when you're doing a lot of plyometrics. I used to train for vertical jump about 10 years ago, and when I neglected calf training I started to get Achilles tendinopathy. I think it must have been the blood flow to the tendon and some modest tendon strengthening. I do have to disagree on hypertrophy though. It goes without saying most people with small calves rarely train their calves, because most people don't train calves to begin with. You have to hit them with a ton of volume but also some lower rep sets. People love to cheat the range of motion and only do the top concentric portion, neglecting the weighted stretch. Calves are pretty immune to stimulus since you walk and take stairs with them, so it takes pretty high volume, intensity, and frequency for them to grow. If you're a bodybuilder it might be worth it, but it's a big commitment for the average gymgoer.

I eat 5500 calories a day and get 300g of protein for £45 a week. All vegan. 800g of tofu, 100g of seitan, 250g of peanut butter, 500g of rice, 200g cereal. 6"9 140kg.

As an approach towards training I find myself agreeing with Matt Wenning. There's always someone with better genetics so the only way to be the best is to outlive everyone else in the sport

I can’t give up on training calves though lol

having strong claves will make you run faster, if you have tight calves you cant really walk for very long without some strain. They arent useless at all.

There's record breakers in 100/200m with small calves. Just saying. Usain Bolt for example

Love this, really helps to have an experienced industry leader give an objective and bird's eye view of what is going on. Much appreciated.
