It will come… The body decides when it’s time…
Cant really see your calves on your pictures, but high heels can help bring them out or just training them(but guess you allready do)
really high heals , the dreadful things lol Man oh man. Those are whats holding me back from competing in Oct. The heals . I will put them on right now and walk in my house for a bit. . Thanks for a response to my little blog.
Do your calf raises at the seated machine if there is one in your gym. Go heavy…treat them like any other muscle you want to grow. And 12 reps max for 3 sets. The do seated on the leg press with toes out and then toes in. 20 rep max and 3 sets.
You could consider working them individually as well by doing 1 legged calf exercises.
Starting with your weakest side, and then, however many reps you can get, only do that many with your strongest side, even if you feel like you can do more. That way, you always give your weaker side the hardest workout until it catches up.
Also, seated and standing calf raises work different parts of the muscles. It might be work figuring out which part is lagging behind, so that you know which exercises to concentrate on.
jumping rope really targets them (like it or not!!! haha) i avoid doing them because mine are a strong point from a dance background, but the pounding (tap dance) is what really made them what they are… jumping rope would be the closest mimic to that plyotype approach. just an idea!

High heels because they are forced basically to contract and hold in place much like when doing calf raises
