So far not a millimeter gain, but I only did it 2 times so far. It definitely burns my calves.

There is no logical reason to expect this to be better than stair machine on balls of feet

Only pellius grew their calves out of everyone on getbig. A very rare phenomenon.

And wasn't it a suspect case of oily looking results?

I voted yes - and of course, they'll only grow proportionally to your potential.
Back problems resulting in abnormal tension in the lower back, hamstrings & hips gave me most of my calf size but it hadn't dawned on me until a few months ago.

I’ve been riding a bike for years now and it really gave my legs a pump and kept them in shape while not doing squats. It didn’t grow my calves any but I did notice what I thought was calves growth when I jumped rope once or twice a week.

I do one set max reps of either seated calf raises or one leg calf raises every workout plus tibialis raises ( I bought one of those tib bar gizmos).

My calves do look better.

I think it's important from a blood circulation standpoint to do calf raises also.

This is the one i bought I think.

Why single leg?

Why single leg?

Less load on the spine more bang for your buck and both calves get loaded the same weight despite of slight bone length imbalances I would guess

Consistency is important.
3-5 times a week train calves over many months and years.

But if you can't grow them 1 millimeter within the first month of training I expect they can never grow

Give it at least six months of 3-5 times a week every week.
Take a pic of them now flexed and take one in six months.
