Yes, it’s right - genetics plays a big role. But maybe your technique isn’t as good as it should be, so you will never reach your fulllest potential.⁣ ⁣ So what should you do?⁣ ⁣ ❌ DON’T BOUNCE THE WEIGHT: A really common mistake is not controlling the movement. If you start to bounce, your achilles will do most of the work, which is not the purpose of the exercise.⁣ ⁣ 🧠 FOCUS ON MIND MUSCLE CONNECTION: Thinking into your calves can help to fully contract the calf muscles.⁣ ⁣ βœ”οΈ INCREASE FREQUENCY: The calves are a muscle that recovers relatively fast. Training them more frequently 3-4 times a week will help.⁣ ⁣ ⏸ PAUSE AT THE BOTTOM: Thus you will be able to work with your calf muscles only.⁣ ⁣ 🦢🏻 BALANCE WEIGHT ON THE BIG TOE: In order to fully contract the calf, it’s absolute necessary to focus on this point.⁣ ⁣ Furthermore you should increase your sets, doing only 3 sets two times per week is definitely not enough volume to grow your calves. Anything from 12-20 sets per week should be fine.⁣ ⁣ πŸ‘₯ Tag a who can't grow their calfs πŸ™ˆ ⁣. . . . . #calfworkout #squats #glutes #quads #legs #pushpulllegs #legworkout #hamstrings #yoga #fitness #mobilitywod #flexibility #physicaltherapy #yogi #bodybuilding #weekendyoga #deadlift #squat #hypertrophy #legday #workout #yogaformen #physio #irishfitfam #myodetox #mobility #calfs #yogafit #iifym #repost ## Stats - **Views:** 0 - **Likes:** 4,476 - **Shares:** 0 - **Comments:** 46 ## Credits These are the roles credited on Gondola.
