Don't eat anything after 8-9 pm %+%.. Water only. Even try last meal around 7 pm. I go to sleep around 1 or 2 AM. Dropping body fat like its nothing.

Anyone know how to increase calf definition? No matter what I do, they stay the same size. At one point I was doing around 1000 calf raises a night (without weight). I tried doing high reps and low reps with weight and without weight but my calves don't seem to be growing. I dont necessarily want them to be huge, but rather 'athletic' looking. What would you recommend?
i used to do 3x15 with 260 2x a week but i guess i have good calf geneticsthat was like 2 years ago i did them the other day for the first time in a while i could only do 180x15
Gastrocnemius(outer calf muscle) is mostly fast twitch. Train it(standing) with heavier weights and lower reps(8-12). You can play with pauses, tempo changes, different variations(donkey, 1 leg, 2 leg, Olympic lifts and their variants, etc.)Originally Posted by MeloManFan

Abs are controlled by diet. Be strict with a low carb, paleo-type of diet and there's no reason you can't cut bodyfatOriginally Posted by ballin 2k3

Soleus(inner calf muscle) is mostly slow twitch. Train it seated with lower weights and higher reps(15-20).

Don't waste your money. You're better off with real gymnastic rings. They can be used for so much more and are the ultimate upper body strength apparatus, in my opinion. Stick with a quality brand(Rogue Fitness, Gymnastic Bodies, Elite Rings) and you'll be set forever.Originally Posted by MeloManFan

Heres the stats:
I'm 6'3 and a skinny 195. Dont feel like I add mass anywhere from my workouts and diets. I also have always had a little lower ab fat, even when I was 6'3 165 in high school. (Im a junior in college now)
Diet:
I try to avoid eating bad and keep track of my daily calories/macronutrients as well. I try to get 3K to 4K depending on time of year. I supplement with vitamins, a preworkout and of course whey.
WOrkouts:
I have usually had a 5 day split the last 2 years while either doing FST-7. I also did 5/3/1 for about 3 months and am currently on a 5x5 plan. But regardless of what I'm doing I am making little to NO improvements in all my lifts. I could take off months, come back, and plateau again a few weeks.
CAN SOMEONE PLEASE HELP ME BREAK THROUGH THIS BODY PLATEAU??!??! Any help is appreciated.

Are you hitting your macros? What does your diet consist of specifically?
It would also help if you posted your workout schedule and what you do for each day/body part. Also are you doing cardio while trying to add mass?
