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

It never even occurred to me that he might have oiled his calves and I don't remember anyone saying it either. But obviously I couldn't know.

Regarding single leg raises I've tried it seated as well :D In general I like the seated machine as a therapeutic feeling stretch exercise :D

I did that on stair steppers as well for a while. It's tough on your feet and calves.

I recall reading somewhere, perhaps in his encyclopedia, that Arnold used to work his calves by driving his feet into beach sand and pushing off with his calves. He said after a few hours his calves were blown up like balloons. You can also do this just walking on a sidewalk. You push off with your calves. It takes concentration and I just walk normally now. These things just pump blood into your calves and make you feel like they are bigger.

Skipping is good for calves as a heavier guy.

Yeah I have never been remotely convinced that calves can be grown. It's like cock enlargement. Questionable

Whether you think you can or think you can't, you are right.

One other thing i did hear from a Guy was he told me when he went running he at times during the run went on his toes, indeed some old timers often ran barefoot on a Beach
another good idea is the POF System @ the 10:00 Mark
