How many reps do you do for calves?

 

[samoth]

I've always kept them relatively low, in the 6-15 rep range with 10-15 sets.

I usually do 4X10 seated and 4X10 standing and I have pretty big calves but have good genes too.

Hmm, that's new to me. Never tried more sets on calves before.

I'm open to everything tho and i'll give it a try cause my calves

grow very little. I see results with what i do, but not what i want.

How many days a week you train em?

One set of 75 reps in as little time as possible.

calves grow better with high rep sets as well does forearms

That's a common belief that I never bought into.
Your walking around all day, so your calfs are getting thousands of light weight reps all the time. They're used to this, so why train them with more light weight reps?
I say hit them heavy with low reps - something they're not used to.
Or sitting calf raises. That's a angle they never get hit with during daily activity.
My 2cc's.
BTW my calves aren't good, so my results don't prove the effectiveness of my theory.

Low rep. in the 12-15 range, but i do at least 8 sets and i make sure that by my last rep on every set my calves are dead.

for calves I'll do ten plates using leg press usually for 55 fro 2-3 sets sometimes after I'll do a couple sets 33 reps but not always and on a slow when I'm feelin pretty gassed I may just go 33 for a few sets. don't usually get that good burn until about halfway through and then the last 1/3 or 1/4 is the best part!!!

i do high rep sets for calves. it just seems right for some reason.
