Hey guys, newbie here.
Slowly coming to an end to my cut which went pretty well and I need some training advice. I'm an honorary member of team no calves, bad genetics, high calf inserts (more excuses I'm forgetting I'm sure). My calves are 14.5" and by Bi's are 15.5", my legs also look a bit small for my upper body considering I have a pretty large rib cage, making my chest look bigger. I want to maintain size on my upper body on this upcoming bulk, but increase size in my legs. My plan was to eat in surplus, nothing too drastic though, and use 20 rep squats for my upper leg area and blast my calves every 2-3 days depending on soreness. While I'm doing this, I'd like to use low reps, high weight on heavy upper days, and use light weights with bands for speed work on light days. While I AM expecting to gain size in my upper body, do you guys think this is an effective way to try and even out? Other ways to do this more effectively based on personal experience? Also, if this has been covered exactly as I am asking it please link it to this thread and I'll refer to that instead. Tried searching but I'm either not wording it correctly or there isn't much out there regarding this situation.
Stats:
Bench - 295
Squat - 395
Semi-sumo deadlift - 450
Height - 5'9
Weight/bf - 170lbs/13%
