Small Calves | Nate Mielke

“Don’t skip leg day, bro!” If you’ve ever heard these words, chances are you’ve had small calves at some point in your life. Maybe you still do.

I used to do calf raises. I also used avoid wearing shorts.

Now, I squat and deadlift and wear 6 inch inseams.

I've "studied" that getting a profoundly heavier squat has caused both my calves and thighs to make my pant legs rather tight where once they were quite loose. That good enough, professor?

I knew calves were genetic because I have big round calves before I ever stepped into the gym. Progressive heavyweight is the only thing I can see that will get them strong. You have to get that Tibia wanting to grow.

Man my math sucks, but my point doesn’t I think.

This is what he does, CF.
