This was a banger. Also as soon as you mentioned the tibialis muscle I immediately thought of John Meadows. I just watched one of his vids yesterday and I hope his family is well.

Jay Cutler uses the bounce at the bottom of the calf press. I tried it and it really lit my calves of fire, saw results in 3 weeks.

In the late 70's. I joined a gym that only did calves. I used to work them twice a week for an hour at a time. Great memories

Calf muscle aids in pumping blood back up to the heart. I saw an interview with a Dr that said " You would think people would be lined up to use the calf machine."

When doing those standing calve raises, is it better to completely straighten your legs or bend just a little bit (“soft knees”)?

One legged calve raises and going all the way down and up are the only thing that helped me. Mine are still a bit small.

A friend of mine had massive calves , he just began working out a couple of years ago and already had big calves .. only two people I know with bigger calves are his grandmother and mother … calves are def genetic

Two things can be true - it's genetics and they can still be trained properly or improperly.
