leg press stretch and flex are one of my fav's...sometimes those supersetted with seated calf raise slow reps 10/10 each ...

when i work calfes i start of with a rep scheme in mind...20 reps is my normal rep range, i then after my first set get into failure and do partial reps and i lose count..i just concentrate on the muscle and feeling.

partials are great for calves due to load and stress to be put upon them,,just no bouncing rapid bullshit..... |

some people trained them hard like robby robinson but never got great calves . . some have great calves like dicklerson but weak arms . so nobody perfect even lee haney calves were not that great . he was mr olympia nevertheless . go outside the gym for calves . volleyball and mountain running help . so jumping with a light barbell . superset wit regular calf raises .

jumping squats is a very forgotten exercise.. i think jumping rope every day helps me a lot too.. i always do them bare feet and use a leather rope which i have had for years. It stings a bit if the rope hits your toes but it makes me more aware of correct form !! |

Agree with brother Cold; bare feet, meaning no socks or slippers either. Better grip & feel for a true full stretch. Good Luck.

1. Go to football stadium
2. Run 100% effort up stadium steps. WALK down.
3. Do this 3 times per week about 7 to 10 times per session.
Calves will pop in three weeks.

Now that i think about it, my calves grew quite a bit when i started doing stadium runs and wind sprints a few years ago.  |

We hit the stadium steps twice a week for a month and walla, way improved calves plus sliced hams/quads. This dude is/was a nattie. And yes I'M CERTAIN. Imagine how a younger, gassed trainee would respond.  |
