I wouldn't really worry about that. Doing isolated lifts to target extremities like calves and forearms are essentially worthless and waste energy that is better spent else where. Those muscles get used for so many other functions.
I run, jump rope, and cycle a lot. My calves are shredded and I never do a damn thing for them specifically.
Same with my arms. I have pretty well toned biceps and triceps and I never do any isolation lifts for them.
Olympic lifts and interval body weight style exercises are key to getting tone and strong all over. You work more muscles as once, and see more results. Win-win.
