Do you think that the growth of your calves is impossible? Not at all! Most likely, it's not your shins that are bad, but your training. Work on the calves of most athletes consists of fast, shallow repetitions ... if they do anything for calves at all. To increase them, a loaded flexion and extension of the ankle is required. Most people miss this and, as a result, miss the equally important benefit of calf training: strong feet and ankles.
