Hi guys, I'm new to this forum.
I'm 17 and I'm training calves regularly about twice a week, to get a complete physique.
However, I've encountered a problem, my soleus (inner calf muscle) seems to be getting bigger, wider and more defined.
But my Gastrocnemius (outer calf muscle) is getting more defined, but not growing as big as much soleus.
When I contract my calves, the Gastrocnemius looks out of proportion with the soleus. Is this normal?
Is the Soleus normally wider than the Gastrocnemius?
Also, I've noticed that whenever I contract my calves, my soleus is really solid, but my Gastrocnemius is quite soft (Not as hard solid as the soleus).
It's like I'm not getting the full contraction of the Gastrocnemius muscle.
Am I contracting my calves wrongly when training?
I do seated calf raises and one legged standing calf raises only. Does different feet positioning help? Should I try calf toe press?
Lastly, should I stretch my calves after each set, or after the whole workout?
I would like to know please. And fix this contraction problem.
