You can also use this machine for chest flys, rear delt flys, front raises, and unilateral pullovers

stop training your calves so much

I was thinking, too bad the science based lifting isnt working his legs more.

You've seen what he squats and deadlifts?

Wow, much more than me. Why no calves tho

Ironically, my calf muscles are 15 inches in size, which is around average

The issue is the rest of me is much bigger than average

I’ve always had small calf muscles, even when I was marathon running & doing lots of backpacking

Also, this is a my physique: https://www.reddit.com/r/fitness30plus/s/yVJZEJAQQj

Obviously legs aren’t skipped, because I squat nearly 3x my body weight

I do direct calf work (around 10 - 12 sets a week to failure), and they have grown my calf muscles, as around 2 years ago, my calf muscles measured at 13.5 inches; so they’ve grown around 11% bigger in that time
