IMO calf does need some direct work, although leg curl is hitting it to some extent.. I do standing calf raise with something on my ball of sole for some stretch at the bottom! Having said so they are still a b!tch to work on...

My dad says doing all those jumping with your toes can help it look better. And I must say, he's gotta be right somewhere. Also badminton and football players have a tendency to have pretty impressive looking calves. Drummers too. But only on the right calve, unless he's a double bass player.

I'm a badminton player but my calves are just so-so. Me thinks the best looking calves can be found on cyclists. |

don't fcuk with your lower back! if you hurt your lower back, you can't squat, deadlift, row, standing press.....
I am still recovering from my lower back pain. Guess I over stretch my lower back muscle. It has been more than 2 weeks, and my pain still has not 100% go away. Initially it really scared the shit out of me, thought I would not be able to do all those compound exercise anymore. Luckily on Monday when I went back to gym after 2 weeks, I am able to squat, although at lower weight, and today I dun feel my lower back pain getting worse |
