A member asked:
I'd like to add some more muscle on my calves. is this possible with exercise and a protein rich diet?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Yes: There are two main muscles that make up the gastroc-soleus complex or 'calf muscles'. You will need to work out both of these. To workout the soleus you might try seated calf raises. Then perform standing calf raises to workout the gastrocnemius.
