calves, forearms, and abs

local_gurl_808 Posts: 13 Joined: 2002/11/06	2002/11/25, 12:21 AM HI! i've been seriously weight training for about a few months now to come bigger but some parts aren't. my calves aren't coming bigger no matter what i try. but for now, i'm doing standing calf raises and 45 degree calf raises and the thing for your front calf till failure 3-4 times. and for my forearms, they don't look proportioned to my biceps which have gotten bigger with fat and muscle(because i'm not cutting yet). are there any exercises i can do to get those bigger? and lastly since i'm bulking right now, what's good for my abs? i heard it's not good for "big" ab muscles that's why i'm wondering if i should be doing abs till failure, w/ or w/o weights. any advice for any of these are appreciated. thanx!

I guess the reason why your calves and forearms look so much smaller is due to the fat as well. Honestly i wouldn't worry too much about it (just think how good looking you'll be when you'll be cutting!!!! ;o) All the very best luck to you! -------------- - Nina :o) Les Victoires éternelles sont celles du coeur.
