I have really big calves... so does my mom. She still moans a little about not being able to buy go go boots in the 60's because her calf was always too large to go into them. I drool over boots, but can't afford custom made, so no boots for me.
Last night I was working with my trainer and we did free weights for shoulders then moved to machines for leg work. He looks down at my calves and enviously compliments me on them. I was shocked... and explained how I always hated them and would love if they got smaller. He laughed a little and said... no, mine are small... yours are awesome.
(oh yes... then he said.. ok, no more working your calves... we'll try to keep them from getting any bigger. Is he great, or what?)
