‘Calves like Adonis’: Phil Mickelson explains his in-home exercise routine

Phil Mickelson, a longtime holdout of social media, is now all in.

From flop-shot instructional videos, to ugly Christmas sweater photos, Mickelson seems eager to post fun content for his followers.

His latest installment: a calf-muscle building exercise, one you can do from the comforts of your own living room. The key, insists Mickelson, is that you do these exercises morning and night.

In no time, you’ll have ‘calves like Adonis’, he says.

His calves became headline worthy last month when the PGA Tour announced players were allowed to wear shorts during practice rounds and pro-ams.

Mickelson missed the cut last week at The Players Championship after rounds of 74-74 at TPC Sawgrass.

“I missed two cuts in a row so that’s not very encouraging,” Mickelson said last week. “But I’ve got next week off. I’ll go home, get a little rest and work a few things out. But for me the biggest thing has been putting. I just haven’t been putting anywhere near like I did last year, and I just got to get that back.

“If I do I’ll be in good shape and I got plenty of time to turn it around.”
