"What do cowgirls/cowboys love? Big calves! One can spend years working on a splendid and muscular build. However without the balanced calves to match this physique, that person will look disproportional. More attention would be focused on the neglected calf muscles than the supreme upper body or upper legs.
Think back a few weeks ago to the 2006 Pro Europa Super Show. The top contestants all had superb physiques, but the one thing that was constantly mentioned by the commentators... their calves weren't in proportion to their bodies.
Calves are not a difficult body part to work. They do not tire you out as squats do and they do not burn as shoulders do. Thus there should be no reason not to train calves.
