How can i effectively shrink bulky calves without creating muscles? please help!
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Curious question.: If you’re calves are bulky because you’re generally overweight, then losing weight will certainly shrink the calves but they’ll become more defined in the process - they’ll look smaller but more muscular. In this context, you’re not adding muscle so much as uncovering muscle. If you’re not overweight, you can’t really just make the muscle that’s there go away.
