The calf muscle, on the back of the lower leg, is actually made up of two muscles; The gastrocnemius is the larger calf muscle, forming the bulge visible beneath the skin. The gastrocnemius has two parts or ‘heads’, which put together creates its diamond shape.

the calf muscle usually is skipped by a lot of people due to the fact that they think its all genetic if they are big or not but really the case is that if you don’t train calf’s you wont get too see what kind of shape your calves are.
