Calves
muscles, along with quads muscles, support the human form in the walking
or standing positions. Due to incessant low level of stimulation, they
have biologically adapted by developing a higher proportion of slow
twitch fibers than fast twitch fibers. As a result, it is difficult to
stimulate the same growth in this muscles than most of the other
muscle groups.
The special
physiological composition of the muscles prevents them from
responding well to traditional bodybuilding and strength training
programs, in which the same loading and RI are used for the calves as
for other muscles.
The calves
muscle have a higher capillarization than other muscles because of their
genetic adaptation to human needs, and are able to resupply their energy
needs (ATP/CP stores) more quickly. In order to offset the energy
balance of the calves, your calves training must be slightly different.
