Calf growth

[jtunderdog]

I started doing incline treadmill work about a month ago. I have been going from 8 to 10% inclines a couple miles a day and my calves are growing. I noticed because they were sore but mostly because my calves wont fit easily in my jeans anymore. Try the 8% incline and move up. I guarantee your calves will respond.

I was just told earlier that if you stretch them out alot before and after leg days, to the point where it sucks to stretch them that they will gain size, something about the fascia....something...something... I dont know, he's huge so I listen, I'll see how it goes.

yeh alot of the time the connective tissue (fascia) which sits around all your muscles is quite tight especially in your calves. It stops the muscles from growing cos it is wrapped so tightly around the calve. so when you train them they get super pumped and cos the fascia doesnt stretch so easily your, calves hurt... i believe this is the reason behind shin splints...
so the idea is to stretch out that facia to allow for more room so your calves can grow easier.... same principal as when guys use that sythol oil to help stretch the fascia
