I train them once a week a real heavy set on the leg press do the right side left side then both at the same time to faliure rest then do two more sets like that then some realitvly light seated calf raise 3 sets.

I do twice a week when I'm training. I did them yesterday (first time back in the gym in 6 months.. ugh) and they are already so tight I'm walking around on tip toes.

Jump rope also kills them.

Oh yeah. When I boxed we used to do 3 minute rounds of jumping rope. It was a sick cardio and calf workout!

Yes! You gotta train calves or you end up looking like the Flea!

If you have trouble with getting your calves to grow, read the calf training section in Arnolds Body Building Encyclopedia!
BRUTAL!!!

I did, in high school. I still run but I don't do anything with weights(for my calves). The running seems to be enough for my calves. I'm short and my calves have always been a good size as long as I stay active. I pick up size quickly with weights it seems.In high school I did a lot more weights with my calves and everything else. I didn't like the way they looked. I felt like a little tank.Running keeps my calves looking good, but I do weights for my butt and thighs.I wish I could get my arms to bulk up like my calves ....

I ask because I never do. I've been training for about 4 years or so now, but have worked my calves maybe 2 times in 4 years. I do squats and deadlifts, just never calves.

How many of you train calves regularly?

Is it worth it or a waste? I have decent sized calves as it is.

Twice a week, Monday seated, Friday Standing...vary weight and reps always
