Actually, I still had skinny legs, but my calves were like rocks. Skinny rocks.

The way I heard it is that because calves do get so much daily use, you really have to work extra hard to work them enough to develop them, that is make them grow. So you really have to hit them hard at the gym or like Andrew said, walk a couple thousand miles. Like I said, I've never had that problem, mine are big to begin with.
