Whats the point if its that easy? Without the challenge it wouldn't be fun.

Agreed, but mr vegeta doesn't want to be "big" so I'm confused.

I've trained till I'm bloody (literally) for over 3 years now and it gets more and more appealing every day,

Calves are used day in day out more so than the lats, you have to really push the calves a lot harder, as in REALLY punish them. Calves have a lot more resistance than most muscles.

You guys should really start skipping, five 3 minute rounds of that and you will think your legs are on fire, although I guess maybe you are too heavy for it knee-wise? I don't know, but I do know since I started boxing my calves have grown ridiculously.

Paramount, I think I've always had quite large traps in comparison with the rest of my body even before weight lifting. I do lateral raises and upright rows which I guess work them a bit

nicho12, I'm a bit restricted regarding lat exercises unfortunately. I have nowhere to do pull ups at the moment, so I just have to do dumbbell and barbell rows to tide me over until I find a suitable place to do them.

never done a single weight on it mate, i used to weigh 23 stone and lost weight, i guess carrying around that weight for so long and being active was the key, i play football, run and cycle a little, my legs are mussel all the way up, shame it stops on the legs, my arms are poor

lets make this thread gay
