I train mine once a week. You need to blast the calves b/c they are so prone to walking and running that minimal resistance dose nothing to them. In this case since the calves train all day theoreticly you must do heavy ass training. Try this

3 set of standing calf raise go for 15 reps
3 seated calf raises 12 reps
3 leg press calf 12 reps

some people do donkey raises of grab a barbell and calf raise in the squat rack as well. The calves should feel on fire and you better be sore after this if not it's not hard enough.

calves and abs are those muscles that you can train as often as you want as long as they are not sore because they repair faster than any other muscle. do them as much as three times a week.

go bigger and go longer than 15 reps for 3 sets. You train calves right and you'll look like the biggest little bitch in the gym....thats how bad they hurt. I NEVER see anyone go to FAILURE on calve raises. Calves will make you cry

This is true after calf raises I usually want to chew my legs off below the knees from the torture
