thx dude, like the new pic, wish i could get my calves to grow but their genetically dicked so i just leave em be...

Thanks man. Some added bodyweight and frequent heavy blasting might spur some growth!

I'd never settle for "I just don't have the genetics" ... blast the fuckers if you have to.... some people have them, some don't, some work hard for them.

tell me your old routine for blastin' them, detailed (frequency, exercise, volume, ect)... i used to hit mine 3x week for a month or 2 at a time... then give them a break...they're on break right now.

I would say when I was more on a bodypart/day bodybuliding split I was hitting them 3x/week...

seated calf raises: 5x12
standing calf raises: 5x12

I would mix it up though - often mixing in DC principles: lots of static holds, negatives, shit that I haven't done in years...

 

[al420]

DC's concepts are really painful. I don't know if they work for everyone, but I almost couldnt walk for 2-3 days after trying some of the static holds at the bottom. REALLY painful to hold the bottom position for 15+ secs.

I think calfs grow like any other body part. Stress them w/ heavy ass weights for 10 weeks and see what happens - obviously measure the little bastards first as .5" to 1" would be a big improvement I am guessing.

 

[fortunatesun]

I've found bodyweight or I should say freestanding exercises esp. useful for calves. I just don't think the machines hit mine to their optimim advantage.
Old school stuff like donkey raises or standing raises on a step holding a dumbell. Also squats 3-4 times a week. These are good exercises we don't often do anymore because it's easier to just use the machine.

 

[al420]

Haven't seen a Donkey Raise machine in years. How do you do them w/out a machine?

 

[fortunatesun]

get someone to sit on your back

 

[ChinkNasty]

yea, donkey raises with someone on your back might be legit if you're arnold and franco or arnold and draper but I'm not sure how they'd fly if you busted them out with your partner these days...
