my calves have improved a lot

when doing calf raises on machines, i go as high as possible and squeeze, then lower to a stretch and pause, and repeat...i usually do sets of 50 seconds

ascending stairway raises are great
1st step u do 1 raise
2nd step 2 raises
3rd step 3 raises
etc etc

also, high incline treadmill walks
and sprinting

I've been doing mostly high rep sets on a leg press machine for calves.  Sets of 20-25 reps.  Open to suggestions though. 

It's kind of difficult to get a decent calf photo when you are taking them yourself.  Tried to get a few different angles.




Good calves SH .
my suggestion : full stretch and contraction ,stretch between sets .

Tell us more about your routine SH.  Do you moisturize? What kind of lotion do you use?  Do you use a loufa?  In the shower maybe?

1000lb standing calf raises, 10 sets of 10 reps. should do the trick.

I try to squeeze really hard at the top and stretch at the bottom like you mentioned.  The stairway raises sound like they might work pretty well.
wait what are stairways doing in your bathroom routine  ???

aren't elevators more appropriate?  ???

 a common mistake most people make with calves is doing the raises off of their big toes...do them off the ball of your foot

I don't really understand what you mean by this, can you explain?  I normally position my feet halfway off the machine / leg press / etc, and descend as far down as i can with my heels, and then raise up as high as i can onto my toes.  Not sure what you mean by "do them off the ball of your foot." 
i think he means this..

Yup. And you really want to focus it on the big area just rear of the big toe.
