My goddamn calves!

This helped me the most..........

Use heavy weight, and go slow.......squeeze your calf as hard as you can a the top of a rep til it hurts, then go down slow, then back up without rest, repeat..........do it til ya cant do it anymore.........rest for 45 seconds, repeat til you cant do it anymore.

that dont do sheeeeeeeeeet but increase temporary swelling

It can work...if you're injecting MGF and LR3IGF1

i usually do what alcatraz posted every other day with medium weight focusing on my calves doing all the work (NOT just going through the movements) if you're bored on the sitting calf raise machine go till failure and raise your calves up to peak contraction and do partials that way. they'll get pumped like crazy!!!!

if you do cardio on a elliptical use a "heavy" setting and do it on your tip toes.

Hillwalking with a 30-40lb bergan. Works for me!

Man - i went in to the gym the other day and I saw someone who had arms the size of my quads and yet his calves and legs were the size of his forearms. It just looked whack. Seriously why do people do that to themselves?

I've been paying crazy attention to my calves over the last 2 months. You don't have to go heavy...just smart. I'll do standing calve raises in the squat rack to warm them up, start with 225 then go up to 315 for 2 sets at each weight. In between sets I stretch them below parallel on a stool.

Then i do the seated calve raise machine with my toes pointed outward; I focus all my attention to the inside head, contracting it slowly and keeping constant tension through 80% of a complete rep. My calves are growing from this.

Really good point ^^^^

For me, I have to really concentrate on this. I dont know if its the same for everyone, but it seems to me like the outer head's are much stronger than the inside heads.

I've always worked my calves, they just will not grow. They seem to get stronger, but no size.

If you can find a program called Legendary Calves it's awesome and it literally just takes about five minutes. It might be in pdf format somewhere in the world. The ab program is good too.
