Calf muscle is the body's most powerful muscles, even a never big fat man can easily lift the whole leg with one leg.If not specifically trained in this part of the muscle, must be because in your daily life you The most repetitive, the longest lasting behavior stimulated it, such as standing, walking.
The main reason for thick legs
Weight
The first thing to say is weight. Standing posture, our joint load is gradually increased from top to bottom:
"Cervical spine" only bear the weight of "head";
"Lumbar" burden "head + thorax" weight;
"Hip" burdens the weight of "head + thorax + pelvis";
"Knee" bear the weight of "head + thorax + pelvis + thigh";
"Ankle" bear the weight of "head + thorax + pelvis + thigh + calf";
The greater the daily load of the joints down the more.
So thick legs, many are because of too much weight.
2 sports environment
In a non-sleep state, our exercise system is always in a sporting environment.
Whether you are lying on the bed playing with your cellphone, sitting at your desk with a computer, or walking in the underground by car and other escalators, these everyday activities that can not be avoided in your life form the basis of our exercise environment.
For those who do not exercise habits, do not special training for people, the exercise environment determines the body's exercise system strength.
When this type of non-motivated and unavoidable exercise environment has long been impacted, these motor stimuli can continuously adapt the motor system (muscle mass, bone density, etc.) to proliferate to match the exercise environment.
When a relatively stable exercise environment has an impact on the exercise system, training less than ambient intensity will have little or no additional stimulating effect on the muscles, and when entering new and more exercise-stimulating exercise environments, muscle Will be further developed.
So, if you have to stand for a long time in everyday life, walking state, the legs must be relatively thick.
3 center of gravity forward
The center of gravity is the main point of mechanics that refers to the gravity that the structure is subjected to. For the human body, it is probably in the abdomen.
When it comes to center of gravity, we must first mention the neutral position.
Stand neutral position:
Head above the thorax
The thorax is just above the pelvis
The pelvis (hip joint) is just above the knee joint
The knee is just above the arch of the foot
In the neutral position, each frame of the body is in a vertical relationship. At this moment, the bones and joints support the body weight to the maximum extent to maintain the stance, and the muscle burden is the minimum.
We can do a small test: stand up and imitate the artistry of Michael Koo, from the neutral position gradually shift the focus.
In the process you should feel your center of gravity moving slowly toward the forefoot from the middle of the foot, and then the toes have to engage in more grip.
If you hold on for a while in the center of gravity, you will feel the force of the lower leg, similar to the tiptoe of the hair force.
When there are some body problems such as stretch neck, humpback, very abdomen, will make the overall center of gravity forward.
When the standing position is neutral, due to vertical center of gravity support, calf does not need to bear a lot of weight pressure; when the center of gravity can not be neutral, the calf had more force, if coupled with the above-mentioned weight and stimulate more exercise Environment, leg thick is inevitable.
