soccer sodomites are walking most of the time, on flat, without any weight
>>76488048
yes i think about it a lot bot, u are not standing on your tippy toes while walking, u are bending ankle like in calf raises but u are also bending knee at the same time - THE OPPOSITE OF WHAT HAPPENS IN CALF RAISES - it is therefore NOT the same movement lol :D
and since we've already established walking on flat may build calves:

>Walking grows your calves.
walking on flat, without weight, where your head stays leveled
>but i got fat in my made up scenario human
irrelevant - your weight is evenly distributed while obese, u want to talk hoomans into rucking, carrying backpack of sort which will bend human forward

>but walking till my calves grow seems retarded, isn't there some hypertrophy exercise for my gastrocnemius that bends both ankle and knee at the same time?
sure, the thread is still up lol

that's side view of gastrocnemius, when u try calf raising this muscle is continuously poked by bones of knee joint and it doesn't like that, it's also conjoined with soleus at ahilles tendon so u ain't getting that either with calf raises, nor with rooning barefoot uphill with a backpack lol

love it, he has no clue what he's doing - these preacher curls
>MUST CURLLLLLL
xD even then he's all about understanding :D great acting, and i approve 100% of the perfomance, just fucking stop repping, who said u must rep shit ? no u fucking don't, WHY would thatbe any requirement? :D

>unilateral basketball to chest hug with protracted shoulder and supinated forearm will grow long head of biceps
squish it with your forearm, keep good posture, protracted shoulder, double chin and supinated forearm :D
so fucking easy :D

>Imagine the calf gains
it will be in negative, not even zero :D

gastrocnemius BENDS THE KNEE it doesn't extend it like in calf raises or walking/running uphill

this grows calves, it's heel-hook and it's climbing movement

>Quads have to be muscular but slim for pants to fit right. You don't want to end up a cartoon of a person.
depends which cartoon bot
this batman from my post for example:
>>76408204
this looks good

it's developed gastrocnemius, like mitboe right beside batman has, he's a cloomber and he does lotta heel-hooks while he climbs, that's how he got his calves

>i ain't gonna fucking cloomb i am not dirty hippy
neither will I, but heel-hook i do:

and gastrocnemius responded beautifully

see this picture bot? see how gastroc wraps around knee bones? muscle can't get proper contraction when it's poked by bones like that, that is exactly what happens with regular calf raises (yes that pain in the back of the knee when maxing out standing calf raises - precisely what i'm talking about), that is exactly what happens when u straighten knee and point toes walking uphill

it will not only prevent gastrocnemius contracting freely it will also sabotage soleus cause it's cojoined in ahilles tendon with compromised in this position gastocnemius
walking uphill, like squats will produce chicken legs - no calves but huge overgrown vastus lateralis and adductors
