Kinda thread hi-jacking, but what's good exercise besides calf raises for strengthening and bulking lower legs?

I've got small ass calves and really skinny ankles... If I do squats and get my thighs bigger it'd look funky as hell...

When I was about 40 lbs heavier(fatkid) I encountered some chaffing problems and with that arose some cakCheese issues.

Since I've lost the weight, they don't rub together, but the skin is permanently discolored

I've got skinny ankles, but my calves kept proportionate with my quads with no direct work, currently hovering around 18+"/28+".

i just subconsciously spread my legs a bit when i walk, i dont waddle though it just feels weird to walk when my legs are squeezing together and that'd be the only time when they would rub and i'm going well into 28s i'm not lean though

just preventing them from rubbing together at all...not very practical.

You could always have the skin lightened up a bit via bleaching. A lot of porno chicks have their anus's bleached for aesthetics.

we have almost the identical measurements except my calfs are 18.5" i believe, my quads used to be up over 30" at one point when i did straight powerlifting. My legs actually feel small to me right now, i can't wait to blast them up over 30" again but WAYYY leaner.

6', i didn't train legs for the first year of training then the minute i started squating it was just like BAM, i'm recomping right now but seeing the gains a buddy of mine made on his legs today makes me just wanna go nutso on size, lol. Ya they were 34" at their biggest but i was also 24%bf. I train dc style now and my main leg movements are front squats, hammer uni-lateral leg press and step ups. I'll be dropping the leg press soon and starting snatch grip deadlifts from a platform.

For calfs i suggest everyone give uni-lateral training a try i've gotten very good gains from this, uni-lateral standing, seated and 45 degree calf raises. Also do your reps slow with a long range of motion and throw in stretching and static reps.
