If this guy put on 2" Snake is going to come un-fukkin-gluedI assume you taped them before and now. What was the gains and in what time frame?

Ballet dancers don't do heavy weight and low reps, and have pretty sweet calf muscles.
But they definitely do full contractions though.
Just an observation.

I didn't, but they have a much more angled muscle edge, if that makes sense. It's not as rounded, has sharper edges.
Yeah I'm a numbers guy. I need to quantify those gain.
All obese people have massive calves.
When I first started lifting my shoulders were shit. I disliked doing them at all. Frankly I hated doing shoulders. Then I decided that **** it I'm going to do them first, hardest and do more of them. I almost always hit them front, side, rear and pressing movements now. I feel like I cheated if I do less. Shoulders have been my favorite for years now. I also have a deep pain that radiates from both shoulders at night so...
Calves are a bitch. Like abs and forearms. Got to hit them every day, with the feet at all three different angles.

I’m not a pro just a year in but I never realized the importance of shoulders nor did I work on them for like then first 6 months now I love to do them as well that’s when I really started noticing my arms that I’m actually making progress now I hit them twice a week but I’m having issues with my rear delts can’t seem to activate them to get the feeling of working just them. I guess need more time put in.
Lying rears. A lot of them.
Please explain the movement. I’d like to try them.
Lay down on a bench or couch on your side. Let your upper arm hang down across your chest to the floor with dumbbell in hand. In a very controlled movement with a straight arm lift the weight in an arched movement. From the floor, out in front of you, to above you. It isolates the rear delt far better than something like bent rears in my opinion.
It doesn't take much weight at first unless you are a beast.
They are time consuming and I used to switch them out for bent rears when I was in a hurry.
