    Calves everyday?

    I normally work my calves on leg day but they need more work. What is the thought on working them every workout. I know they need to be pushed hard to grow but is working them everyday overtraining?

    wow....def. overtraining.........if you can work them everyday, you arent working them hard enough.........you prob. just need more intensity on your calve workout.....
    Strength does not come from winning. Your struggles develop your strengths. When you go through hardships and decide not to surrender, THAT IS STRENGTH

    I do mine twice a week...one day heavy lower reps(10-15) next day medium weight higher reps (20-30), have u ever done front toe raises it builds up your shin muscle and that make your calves look overall very thick

    i agree with danielle...ED calves would be overtraining IMO.

    try moving them to a different day...they'll get hit with legs to a certain extent, but you can really fry them on their own day, alongside whatever else you're doing -- for me it's delt/tri/calves...
