Calf widening without calf machine?

XXLTank · 30-10-2006, 09:50 PM

Anyone know any good exercises for widening my calves that don't require any calf machines?

i reckon single leg calf raises are great-
ive had a lot of calf development(well relatively speaking)from deadlifts and squats

Standing or sitting?

I've had some calf growth from squats but more thickness than width.

i like to them standing,but i guess theres a place for doing them seated too-
donkey calf raises are another good exercise as it hits both soleus and gastrocnemius.

tbh i dont know if any specifically widen the calf-
i`m happy with any kinda growth in my calves at all
LOL
