Just keep doing calf raises over and over? Should I strap a plate to my chest and go hiking to simulate being fat?
How do I get bigger calves?

run nigga
How come blacks have the weakest calves then?
They have longer legs while whites are more stocky and can bulk well
Blacks who trace their ancestry back to Kenya and surrounding regions have high ankles and a long achilles tendon. The achilles acts as a spring and shock absorber when we run; hence, they are incredible long-distance runners. If you have similar lower legs (high ankles), weighted calf raises do basically nothing. You're better off sprinting up hill and performing power movements that hit the entire posterior chain, such as high pulls and power cleans.
Heel striking.
gomad
sprint cunt
remember you need absurd volume on calves to make progress. also do stairmaster, with weights or weighted vest if you can swing it
Go out for a hike with lots of uphill and downhill motion, and do that hike regularly.
skipping and donkey raises
I gotchu OP
>6'0, 160lbs
>dyel skinny but "athletic" body
>calves are nearly as big as my quads kek
I used to run 4 miles a day from school to home. Now I skip rope 3 times a week at muay thai, 2 or 3 rounds of 3 minutes of skipping, making sure to keep constant tension in the calves. I also work in an amazon warehouse 4 days a week, where I am essentially standing and walking for 10 hours a day. I probably walk between roughly 5-10 miles on days that I work.
tldr, running, skipping rope, lots of walking. I dont do any sort of weighted calf work regularly
>just work in a warehouse for 10 hrs per day bro
I mean 10 hours is definitely overkill, main point was that just walking can have pretty big benefits for calf size.
But you just want to be autistic, its ok anon
Hiking/trail running.

No

Yes. You can get a 50lb weighted vest and that'll be way more comfortable. Stairmill or uphill treadmill for 30 minutes+
Calves don't hypertrophy like other muscles
totally genetic
but you should probably do a mix of heavy reps and high rep work
I used to walk incline with dumbells for 5-10 mins and do a few reps of that since some people think calves need higher reps.
Jumprope. Do it for an hour a day for a few months and you'll keep the results for years
Skipping or jog up hills
How do you skip uphill? This sounds amazing.
Skipping is a momentum exercise, you don't (or not for long, anyway - you can still do it until you're at a standstill).
It's also a very based way to travel downhill.
run uphills
sprint*
anecdotal but for me it was cycling. hill climbs in low gear did wonders for my lower body.
Just be fat gg ez
If you wanna get big calves without running either because you live under your mom's basement or you're simply retarded, then you can do this
super big calves are ugly
what you get from heavy squats is enough
1. Be a manlet
2. Done
