Calves same(higher reps w/RPs then drops)...

I don't even work my forearms due the constant beating they get on bis/tris/back(anything that deals w/grip) but I've noticed that since switching to 1BP on back I need straps for concentrating on my back doing more of the work(only if necessary do I use straps) but I'm finding my bis fail b4 my back(obviously)

The key is to really work them hard. Mine have been so sore that i had to take ibuprofen the last 2 days. I like it though

Work them with ALL rep ranges and weights.

Work them with ALL rep ranges and weights.

Good point... Changing it up is always good! Start light go heavy, start heavy go light, stay heavy implement beyond failure concepts...

Calves repair quickly so you can train them frequently. I am a firm believer in the 15-20 rep range stimulates them the best.

For arms i do heavy weights 6-8 reps seems to work best for me. Calves i have no clue, nothing is working so far lol

If you are a runner or frequent jogger you will shred those puppies down to twigs in no time. Since I stopped running I am able to keep more size.

The same.

Exactly. Compare the look of a distance runner to a sprinter. Calves get reps all day every day. Weight = growth.
