BUILD MONSTER CALVES with the Diamond in the Rough program
I have to say that this is the best calf routine I have ever come across. Their is no B*S* involved as it has been working for me. It is written by author John Romaniello, and is fairly lengthy but it is definitely worth reading.
Diamonds in the Rough
It’s a very common problem; almost an epidemic, you could say. This may not be comforting, and it may be something you’ve heard before, but, “it happens to a lot of guys.” When did it first happen to you? When did you first notice the lack of size? How long has it been since you began adding that imaginary inch when somebody asked? Have you been telling the lie so long you actually believe that you’re bigger than you truthfully are? Let’s find out.
Grab a tape measure — stop acting like you don’t keep one in that drawer. Now look down; what do you see? Something average, perhaps? Okay, if average is good enough for you, stop reading and skip to the next article; if not, read on. I bet most of you will stick around. After all, who wants to be average? This article isn’t about average. If you’re like me, averagejust ain’t anywhere near good enough, and when you wear a pair of shorts, you want everyone to know you mean business by what’s showin.’
Now, get that tape, drop your pants, and measure your calves. You didn’t think I was talking about something else, did you?
Of all of the muscle groups which bodybuilders gripe about, calves may be at the top of the list. The baby cows are frustrating, notoriously “stubborn,” and probably the muscles most often accused of being victims of “poor genetics.”
The madness must end! Calves are an important body part and should be trained with as much diligence as any other. While that rationale should be reason enough to fix your “problem,” you may need to know that the calves are responsible for a great many things of which you may not be aware. For example, calves help to protect the knee from injury; also, the gastroc is heavily involved in knee flexion, so stronger calves may result in stronger hamstrings. Finally, big calves are cool. And by cool, I mean totally sweet.
