Switch your calve routine from reps to heavy weight, and go back and forth like that every workout. One day go for 30 reps/set, the next workout go for 12. Also, try working them one at a time on things like seated calve extensions and standing calve raises. Not only do you need to push your bodyweight with one calve plus the added weight on your shoulder(it wont be much, maybe like 40 -50lbs on top of bodyweight) but now you have to somewhat balance with one calve at the same time which hits it in more angles. When I started training mine one at a time the results got shocking. My calves are better than some IFBB pros IMO.

heavy standing calf raises for defo

and wear shorts, it'll make you want to make them bigger if they're constantly being looked at...it worked for arnold

check out his early posing shots, his calves were so bad compared to the rest of his body he did his posing with his lower legs in water!

Calves are mostly genetic , so any measurement gain you get you should feel very prowd.

I love jumping rope for my calve workouts.

with 34 inch legs

Thats some large legs bro.

My calves are a problem area also. I've put an inch on them in the past six months. I mainly go heavy and then finish off with a couple trips up and down some stairs carring a 45plate in each hand and doing 5 calf raises on each step. I get a pretty good burn from that.

The stairs have 32 steps by the way. I do 5 raises per step and go up and down twice, so thats like 640 reps.

I dont think he meant 34 inches around.....

[Dangerdan]

Well, lets just all agree that those would be some big legs.

I wish they were 34 inches around

lighter weight, 50 reps for 1 set every day you go to the gym
