Dennis Wolf's calf training: 4 days per week & 48 sets per week?

Are there any 500 pound people with skinny calves?

interesting question, i've seen alot of 350 to 400 pound fat women with cankles....I wonder if they dieted down to 150 pounds, just how big would those calves be...

There are two natural guys that have competed and they train together in my gym doing the same workout.   After competing and gaining for about 5 months the one guy's calves who were very good before got even better (guy is a Beast),  the other's calves were small before and still look the same. Genetics mostly I'm sure.

Also the guy with the awesome calves trains them every other day.

I see 150lbs women with cankles, who need to be 110lbs.

My best calf size was 18 1/4 cold. I could pump them up another 1/2 inch at that size.

It's a requirement if you're looking to BUILD muscle...not have them in a perpetual state of recovery.

Ever notice a bricklayer never has 20" arms?

I'm with Chick on this one...

Twice a week is plenty, even once a week for most muscles including calves.

This guy did 3 sets a WEEK!!!

That's because bricklayers burn too many calories and don't use steroids.

The fact that someone makes gains training less frequently is not in itself proof that it wouldn't happen. What we know is that bodybuilders have a lot of bodyparts to train and to make them grow usually do not train parts everyday.

If some of you want to experiment then try to get a target muscle sore and then keep it sore for a period of at least 2 weeks and see what happens. I know the soreness is controversial but I haven't had many who would give this experiment a go. You could even train one calf one way and the other with a different method and frequency. That is another way to test programs.

The point here is hypertrophy is not a matter of opinion but a phenomenon that can be tested in a lab.
