Want calves like Baryshnikov? Here's how you do it

Genetics and muscle structure can dictate the size of your calves, but there's a reason why dancers have strong legs and shapely calves. It's called ballet classes.

Out of the blue, I received a text from an old chum last week. “Can you please tell me how to increase the size of my calf muscles?” he asked. I recalled him being a decent-sized fellow in varsity, but I’d never noticed his calves because they were always hidden beneath his trousers, so I had to ask why.
