You'll be there. Try to make it before Ronnie retires.

which means you still have ten years.

[Jr. Yates]

I can't imagine what meeting a pro or seeing one in real life must be like. I'll just have to go knock on ronnies door one day or something.

[Jr. Yates]

hahha good.

I hit my calves twice a week with my legs. Standing calf raises is the ultimate mass builder.

[Jr. Yates]

Yes standing calf raises definatly helped me put on some size but I get a much bigger burn from seated.

[benchthis]

best way to build calves is using hit method 

[triple_pickle]

i got best results from drop sets.

[Jr. Yates]

i got best results from drop sets.

me too. and superset drop sets.

[NoCalBbEr]

once a week, after legs. i give it everything i got with some  heavy weight but about 15-20 reps.

[candidate2025]

hit them as often as they feel recovered.  most of the time its every other day..but sometimes they stay sore for a couple of days.

[GoneAway]

me too. and superset drop sets.

I tried drop sets a few times with Standing Calf Raise and got a burn in my ankles. Is that normal? Never really got a great feel in the contraction doing that movement, but taking an extra flex at the top helped, for anyone who feels they aren't getting full flex.

[blondmusclhunk]

Once a week normally.  Every few months I will go a month and do twice a day.

[lilwoday09smb]

twice a week. 4 sets of standing, 15-25 reps, 4 sets of seated 20-30 reps. heavy weight

[DarthNemesis21]
