calves aren't growing. suggestions?
my leg day consists of squats, seated calf raises, seated curls, hammy curls. when i'm done i can barely walk up the stairs out of the gym, and i'm consistently sore after each workout. my quads have growns considerably, but for some reason my calves just aren't keeping up. just wondering if any of you guys have a different suggestion for targeting my calves.
i'm 24 y.o. and 6'2'' 197 lbs.

When I do calves, I hold it for 3-5 seconds in the up position with as much weight as I can handle. It's worked pretty good for me...

you have the same stats as me even age funny, what works for me is to hold for ten to fifteen seconds lower position and like 3-5 on the higher position unlike other guys here we are tall... you will notice change in size in a few months of doing it that way...jmo

i don't work mine on leg day. i usually hit mine on a different day because it's too much if my hams and calves are tweaked the next day. i wake up and can't straighten my legs out.

could have alittle to do with genetics too. standing calve raises w/ 5 second positive, 5 second hold, and a slow negative punish me.

I go Slow positive, hold for two slow negative, hold for two.
But I hit them bastards every day. Five sets of 15. Angled standing calfs one day, seated the next. Also, try two days toes out, then two days toes in. Mix it up.

All to failure at a 1:1 tempo. You can throw in some static reps to break the routine every few weeks
