OMGosh, FightOn, them are some mighty calves! But actually he would probably have them even if all he did was stroll around the mall. The general consensus in the world of weight-training is that calf muscles are almost impervious to growth strategies; there are no known regimens that GREATLY increase their girth (you can improve them, but only to the limits of your genetic heritage.) It doesn't seem fair, does it? But wait, there is a guy on a white horse riding in on the horizon, here to save us from our pathetically skinny calves--and he's a plastic surgeon! My understanding is that in the image obsessed world of SoCal, plastic surgeons do a pretty decent business in calf implants, mostly for men, of course. They work ust like breast implants; they open up the calves and sew a little bag of silicon in there. Presto! Instant mega-calves! So maybe we can quit all this useless hiking stuff, lie on the couch watching the shopping channel, and just look fit!
