When you first start bodybuilding, the focus is to "get big". The muscle magazines stress how to build humongous thighs, bulging pecs, cannonball delts, barn door lats, six-pack abs, baseball biceps, and horseshoe triceps. Little emphasis is placed on developing "huge diamond shaped calves". Therefore, it's understandable that we give calves low priority. We don't focus on calves enough. When we do train them, it's an "afterthought". We place calf training at the end of our routine when we're too tired to really train them hard.
