If that's your lagging bodypart, hit it more often than the rest of your body. So if u hit everything 1x a week, hit calves 2x. This always works for me. And Arnold used this method for years on his lagging body parts...to keep everything symetrical. That's where I got the idea from.

Also, eat an over maintenance diet or you wont add size anyway. Its sometimes overlooked when bringing up weak points, not saying you would miss this tho

may your shins be calloused from many deadlifts.

Since no one else seems to be throwing it out there, I'm just going to mention that calves are by far the hardest muscles to grow using standard or non-standard training. Generally, getting any results at all (over time not some short term pump shit) is far above average results especially when it comes to someone who started with lagging calves (i.e. not great genetics). Don't be discouraged if this doesn't go your way even if you do everything right. I honestly think your time would be better spent in the squat rack.

The only reason I disagree w/ that comment is because his legs will end up way out of proportion if he doesn't work his calves. A buddy of mine works his thighs really hard and they're gettin pretty big. But, he never works his calves and his excuse is genetics. His calves are smaller than my forearms and it makes his legs look like turkey drumsticks!! At least if you make an effort you can add a little bit of girth on your calves.
Not trying to argue...just my opinion.
