Build Your Calves To Olympic Skier Status!
This plan was originally devised for Olympic skier Luke Sauder. The plan was to build up his calves to serve as a cushion to prevent his knees from reaching severe angles as he glided down the mountain; the plan worked. The problem with growing your calves is that there will be limited ROM in calf movements. Squats, for example, provide a considerable ROM that is easy to vary.
