build fabulous calves (read all 3 entries…)
I need advice

As I have mentioned before, I don’t have genetically good calves. They have absolutely no shape, not even a slight bulge beneath the knees.

I do run a lot but that doesn’t seem to help it even a wee bit. Any advice on how to get well toned calves? I would prefer doing weight-free exercises as I don’t like the idea of lifting weights.



do 100 pushups (read all 3 entries…)
70+30+20=120

My best attempt so far. Doing 100 pushups in one stretch is not so easy. In the beginning it looked almost impossible thing to do but now it seems within reach.
Key: Keep doing pushups until you can’t lift yourself. And then start pushups going only half-way down. Continue till your arms give up.

I have reached a stage where I stop not because of lack of strength in my arms and chest but due to exhaustion. The goal seems within my grasp now.
