Lol, just came back after a workout and saw this

i'd like to clear up the misconception about the calves on my behalf...

The thing is that, for the general population, calves are predominantly slow twitch which means they are more resistant to fatigue, but can't generate enough force... Type II fast twitch fibers are stronger and generate more force, but fatigue easier, and for exercises like squats that recruit fast twitch muscles like hams, glutes, hip flexors, quads, they are able to generate alot more force but fatigue easily. That is why strength athletes train with lower reps and place more weight onto the bar...

Calves just react differently to training, and walking simply is just not enough stimulation to target the appropriate muscles in the calves for growth.. If you do steady state cardio jog/run LSD everyday for km after km the calves like to be trained that way... not saying it will get bigger, your calves will definetly be shredded and stronger because it likes to be trained that way, but they won't be bigger.

I definetly know you already know this because you study kin, so the gangbang probably let your anger get the better of you.

And redsir's posts might seem a bit sarcastic to you, but his impressive numbers do the talking.

We all have different goals here: get bigger, get stronger, get faster, lose weight, gain athleticism, etc, etc. Getting stronger does not necessarily mean getting bigger/shredded and vice versa, although clearly it is possible. Let's not bash each others goals because their goal may not be yours.

Regarding the bench press competition, OF the guys that have even posted (yes, I am pressuring you guys to post more vids rather than talk shit, only redsir, me, halo, situation, fcukked, broken, amevip have posted, step up ur game guys) most know what they are doing. Most have been lifting for years, Brokenarrow is a former CFL player, and I have been in a powerlifting meet before and hold the bench press record for my weight class in BC, trumped randy yee's record

It's been a hilarious 3 pages, but lets try to keep it clean and constructive.. last thing i'd want is for my favourite RS thread to turn into a bb.com shitfest
