calf training

one thing is genes and another thing is not to train

Do not blame anyone for your lack of calves, it is very likely that you do not train correctly or better not train, the triceps surales best known in the underworld as sweet potatoes, are a muscle group that are designed to hold work, most of their fiber they are of slow contraction especially in their more profound portion, that is translated in that they must be punished so that they respond of serious way.
The best way to train them in the high volume, organize your training for the next 6 weeks, but in the case of the calves use the maximum volume for a large muscle (25 weekly series) and get to work.

The work of plantar flexion for the development of the triceps surae can be done both with the knee flexed and with the knee extended, the best calf exercises are done standing and sitting, when the flexion and plantar extension is done with the knee flexed you work much more the more internal portion (soleo), and when standing works are activated more twins, both portions have a higher proportion of slow fibers especially the soleo, which tells us that when you work sitting you should get more repetitions, a I like to use the range of 15 to 30 repetitions, and I work the rando of 20-10 repetitions.

Use different cadences (low slow rises fast, slow, slow) in order to generate more stress, eye tomato calmly, start a training cycle using 10 series as a reference for your calves and go up a series week by week, when you close the cycle, start a new one giving priority to the calves training with the maximum volume during the next 6 weeks. Then to that period give pause about 6 weeks, pause does not mean that you will not train, pause is to make a minimum of 16 weekly series.

I hope this helps you with your calves and before blaming your parents review your training.
