I can run really fast and push 250kg or maibe more I did 250 at the age of 14 but ever since covid and injuries and the fact I wanted to stop my contract with the gym for the period of covin but they riped me of money and prolonged my contract whitout my provision for 2 years and make me unable to go because no vaccine that pissed me off I lost around 1000€ for nothing I wasn't allowed to trayn in those 2 years but they took my money and because of those injuries I'm alwaus in the state of schoud I go back to the gym yeah but theyr gane steal my money again and if that's not enogh my injuries are gane pull me back every time and now I have to work after 10h of work in the cold I get home broken I can't go to the gym so I'm alwaus thinking about it but I never went to the gym in the last 5 years but I miss the pump I he'd my muscles didn't have time to grow because I overworked them but somehow I didn't ditroy my muscles no that woud have been good they woud have repaired until now I ditroyd my joins and they don't recover now when I train I hit bone on bone because the joins don't have that gelatine anymore in between them and it hurts me every time

Fun fact: Your Tibialis Lowkey play a stronger role in sprinting and leaping. I'd argue calves are shock absorbers. They do help but the Tibialis does majority of the work Edit: I only say this because I sprint. There's no calf raise exercise that can be done explosively that aligns with the laws of specificity of track. Aka, I run with kettlebells in my hands back and forth (On my toes ofc, I'm a sprinter) and my calves feel nothing and get 0 work. It's all Tibialis. The same applies for if you were to constantly jump up and down and land on your toes and spring off of them. That "Spring"/"Bounce" is all generated in your tibialis muscle. Calves are just shock absorbers for when they're weakened, perhaps. I haven't felt calf muscle soreness ever since I started sprinting fr and I've only felt tibialis soreness Second Edit: No, explosively doing calf raises will not change anything or help the laws of specificity when it comes to spring bouncing/sprinting (Sprinting is also spring bouncing. You're literally jumping from side to side while pushing forward)

If you want bigger calves austin you gotta put on more muscle on your body plus working out claves also. I had small calves weighed 160 and gained up to 205 from working out and my calves finally grew. When your heavier your calves are constantly supporting all that weight stimulating growth plus with calves workouts in the gym. I thought it was impossible to grow calves until I gained mass and went up on my body weight

@user-bs7et7vf7h 5 ай бұрын

I got big calves due to simply genetics, and they look bulky and not athletic even when I'm somewhat lean. I don't know if that's the reason, but im not that fast and explosive naturally(more of an endurance type), and i feel like my weight to strength ratio is really low, even though I train mostly for strength and explosivnes. And even if that's not the reason, I'd still like smaller calves just for how they look. Also mostly big and bulky people have big calves, not athletes.

@Phaminator525 5 ай бұрын

I mean the only reason why the best sprinters and runners have tiny calves is because running has a lot to do with height. Your stride is very important in your distanced covered. It has nothing to do with the calf insertion. If you're short with bad insertions you won't be as fast as someone who's taller (given that both of you are on the same level). American football is the peak of explosive power and almost every one of them who are known for explosive power have big calves. Also fighters who punch hard have big calves too. Manny pac, Mike Tyson, Ngannou. The power starts at your feet

@Sanfu69 5 ай бұрын

It has nothing to do with the calf genetics and everything to do with the insertion being higher means the Achilles tendon is longer and therefore there’s more force return and springiness. On the other hand big thick calves with lower insertions provide way more muscle mass therefore the possibility of more stability and force transfer through the legs which means potentially higher absolute strength if developed.

@gur262 4 ай бұрын

😂the insertion being higher is genetics. That said. I didn't realize I was supposed to train calves for years. I bet many are the same but then fell for the temptation of calling calves genetic and leaving it at that. Mine are a bit higher. Probably no chance of being gigantic but they did grow after training for a while.

The muscle fiber statement is completely false. Higher calf insertions have absolutely no correlation with a higher ratio of fast twitch muscle fibers to slow twitch. That misconception comes from the fact that allot of people who have high calf insertions DO have a high fast twitch muscle fiber ratio BUT these are 2 separate qualities, and are not contingent on each other. Plus there are also allot of cases where one quality is present while the other is absent. High calf insertions allow for more springier movement due to the tendon being larger and taking up more space.

Actually having low insertions gives you more power and explosiveness overall in fighting. I do boxing and all of my power just start at the feet. I'm not jumping in, it's my base. You're always better off having bigger legs in combat sports. But it doesn't mean you need them but it's just another advantage like reach or height. Any UFC fighter that has insane KO power got big calves. And I'm just saying straight power. I know izzy can KO anyone but that has more to do with accuracy and skill than power
