    Ok so they are not disapearing, but they arent growing either. Anyone have a good routine for getting results with their calfs.

    calves seem to be more genetic out of anything..I find it hard to add size to my calves, but it isnt too hard to make them stronger.

    sprints untill you pass out and when you wake up inject 129.81 cc of synthol into your testicles. j/k sprints do work though.

    Standing calf raises - gastrocnemius, seated calf raises - soleus, and seated toe raises (on seated calf machine) - anterior tibilias. Seated anterior tibialis calf raises - put your heels on the front edge of the foot plate, let your toes drop down, and then raise them up into dors***exion.

    I would stay in the rep range that you feel your calves hypertrophy the best in. For me, it was the 6-10 rep range. Low volume, high intensity was what worked. I went as heavy as possible while trying to maintain form. After following that program for the first time, all my college buddies commented on how my calves grew over summer vacation.
