Mr. Calves talks all about calving.

On September 12, twenty-six-year-old Welshman James “Flex” Lewis won the 2009 Atlantic City Pro 202. Because his calves are so phenomenal, he frequently lays off training them now to bring the rest of his body in balance, but he gives us his favorite routine and shares the straight dope on how anyone can calve-up.

LEWIS’ CALF CLASS

* Stretch your lower legs fully before each set.

* Do super-sets, tri-sets or giant sets to maximize the pump. I typically do the exercises in the included routine as a tri-set and sometimes do other rotations of calf exercises without rest.

* Perform reps quickly. Weight is not really a factor. The goal is to keep the blood flowing through the calf muscles.

* Train calves twice per week.

* Do not end your calf routine until your lower legs are fully pumped. I often do quick no-weight raises to finish off my calves.

I love his body size. I'd love to look like that as we're both around the same height. I know it's not feesible to want to look like Ronnie or any other bigger guys, but this is something that I think in time I could somewhat acheive. I'm not saying I'll ever be a pro, but I'd like to be around his weight and like 180 on stage and I'd be happy

I think Flex looks amazing. He is one of my favorites. I'm really glad they have the 202 for guys like him.

when I seen him, I couldnt help but to stare at his calves, they are like looking at big boobs.

I just looked at the picture of Flex I have. His calves look like balloons. Just huge!
