[Mygeeto]

the side bits are called obliques. to help build calf mass you need to train them about 3 or 4 times a week with lots of volume. the training section is available if u need more help or advice, as is the diet sections.

oh, and welcome to the boards too dude

thanks for the help champ.......any other advice for a beginneer.

my training spit is 4 then 3 break....i train for 1-1.5 hours and work a body part a day

any plans?

Welcome! Only over an hour on leg day. I would go 2 days, rest, 2 days, rest.

You will not really see your abs unless you have <10% bf so if that is your goal keep lifting and do cardio. As for your calves (gastrocnemius) you might have a high insertion point.

My advice is stay consistent, don't quit, and get your diet together.

thanks bloke....any suggestions for workign of the small excess and getting nice obliques

[Freak]

Your diet is the major determinant for abs/obliques and your bodybuilding success for that matter.

thanks for your help....

for your obliques...do oblique crunches and/or twisted sit ups
