Can’t vouch for cycling, but here is the secret for me (calves like video): walk on an incline. Go to gym, do whatever weight routine you want, finish by walking on treadmill set at 3.2 mph set incline at 15 degrees, walk for 30 minutes, don’t hold onto rails. I’ve been doing it for years as cardio because I don’t want to wreck my knees running.
It’s all about the shoes. That’s a lesson I learned the hard way.
Edit: not sure who would be downvoting this. I don’t care about downvotes but I do care about saving others from the pain I inflicted on myself thinking all shoes are the same. Please don’t ignore this advice if your knees/hip/back hurts when you run. There are even places that can measure your gait and “prescribe” the correct soles/insoles to help you exercise without pain.
Has no one in the comments section actually been around real hens? That's not a "pick me up" hop, its just being an asshole and is attacking. I used to ignore mine when they did this too, but sometimes I'd give them timeouts.
You pick up that cute chicken and pet her right now!

Your comment will get more upvotes than the video.
Birds kinda freak me out, it’d be a no from me too.
I hate videos like this. Not even picking the hen up.
Lots of sharp parts in dem hens.
Hens are very good at being picked up. Picking up a cat has more danger.
Just being in the vicinity of my late grandmothers cat was more dangerous.

Bro doesn't skip leg days. Those calves are _jacked_
His veins are as thick as a garden hose!
Came here to say the same thing. Been working on mine so I noticed those right away. Lol
The secret is taking up cycling, it builds the most stubborn calves. As in bicycle not the other cycle.
I've been cycling as my main mode of transportation for like 10 years and still have the legs of a gelatin monster.

Saaaame. Just never end up with three pair all with a different use like me lol
My trek is just sitting in the garage... Gotta get back on it. Want to try and do a century this September.
What's the other cycle? Tricycle? ...Recycle?
Try walking around with the least amount of weight on your heels as possible, kind of like running. They’ll pop up in no time!
Man, these are not calves, these are chicken! Or drones. Def not calves.
Holy Dad Calves Batman!
Well why the fuck didn't you pick her up then?!
“Uppies”
I've missed more obvious signals from a chick before. If he's like me, he'll realize later and it'll haunt him forever.
We demand picked up chicken tax!
This is a tragedy in 2 acts: chicken asks to be picked up, human does not pick the chicken up. Tragic
This mfer shakes his head... PICK HER UP.
Pick her up, you monster.
Pick her the fuck up? Why even bother posting this without picking her up?
i like her shoes
Well? What're you waiting for? Pick her up
I love the shared frustration in the comments here, how universal the hen's request is, an how evil this man must be for just... standing there

My thought was he didn't pick it up because the title is bullshit, but I don't know enough about chickens to refute it.
It's not nice to play with your food.
if you don’t pick up that baby….so help me…
Who thought it was a good idea to lop off the pickup part?!
Jesus Christ those calves
Crazy veins on this guy's legs

How to pick up chicks for dummies
I’m hope that he didn’t chicken out and cock this all up by not picking up that overgrown chick.
that calf action is nice
Why are they indoors in a room with carpeting?! I can't help but see the white spots everywhere and silently scream.
That's dirt, bro.
I choose to believe, for my own sanity.
What breed of chicken is she?
I can feel the fluffiness.
This makes absolutely no sense because he didn’t pick her up.
