Secret to building calf muscles faster

Calves are amongst the most difficult groups of muscles to train. Lots of people were even born with little calves. There are also a number of bodybuilders who have calves so small that they look like comical characters whose bodies are big towards the top side that taper down to a narrow waist and skinny legs. This often makes them wonder if the calf training they do worth all the sweat and pain? Calf training is extremely disheartening because we can barely see any progress in a short period of time.

How to work out your calves

Bodybuilders are struggling to have the perfect shape and size of their calves so that their bodies look more proportional. As calves are the most exposed parts of the legs, they train it hard in order to make it look as proportionate to other body parts as possible.
The true secret to grow your calf muscles is by challenging them into intense trainings of super sets and descending sets every day in a week. The only method to enlarge your calves is to destroy the muscle tissue with a high intensity training so bad beyond their natural ability that it will repair itself and be larger than ever.
The fundamental principle of calf training is to pump the blood vessels with blood to help make new spaces for muscle development. The increase of blood flow to the muscles can help distribute oxygen and other nutrients like amino acid which help muscle growth and recovery.

Let your calves work with hardly any weight at the end of each workout twice each week. Do as many repetitions as possible, push it to the limit.

In order to avoid training your Achilles tendons, work your calves slowly and controlled. By doing the movements you calves will grow like weeds and you are not as likely to be injured.

2. Ball of the foot and toe position

To give more tension to your calves, concentrate on the tension given by the ball of the foot. To add tension to your calves, move your toes towards the calf and then move it towards the opposite direction.

3. Burn it out

After doing standing calf presses, do yet another set with heavy weight as many repetitions as possible until you calves are burned out. For seated calf presses, stand on the floor one more time then bend your knees as low as possible just like when you do squats.
