My calves have grown an inch working out every other day.

[FreakMonster]

Started a new protocol with my calves by working them out every other day.
All I do is seated calf raises.
I do 3 sets of 20 and each time I do calves I raise the weight by 5 pounds. If I do not finish the 3 sets of 20 then I keep it at that weight until I can do 3 sets of 20. I have been doing this for 2 months now with lots of success.
Even my GF has commented on how good my calves are looking. 2 months ago she was saying they were skinny.

Wow...that is awesome progress....I am tempted to try that myself

How many seconds for the negatives? I've heard some people get great gains training cavles DC style with slow negatives and 15 second stretch at the bottom

about once or twice a week I will do negatives on the standing calf machine

you kind of have to put ur ego aside to try the routine, seeing its 1-2 sets per muscle every 48 hrs.

sometimes i feel like doin volume training, and i do. but HST works just as good as volume training, if youre just looking for size. my strenght kind of went to shit. itll come back though, when i want it to

Good very well be additional glycogen storage in your calves since they are being worked so much

Hmmm.

I might try this ...

Three days a week on anything will bring some gains. Arnold always recomended bodybuilders do 3 brief whole body workouts a week. So did Steve Reeves, but his were far from brief.

Great work on the calves.

That is amazing. Thankx for letting us know about this, I will definitely try this at one point. My calves are my thinnest body parts.
C3body - Did Arnie recommend doing these 3 full body workouts around the regular workouts or instead?
