Roman deadlifts!! Keep training and you'll be as big as me one day danielson!
Back: weighted pull ups and rows
Legs: squats followed by stiff leg deads
1-2 warm up sets, 3 worksets as heavy as you can to failure
Agreed on all of the above for back and legs....Old school T-bar rows and deads are also good for back growth....Calves are a tough one, lot of genetics involved there. Just beat the hell out of them and treat them like a normal body part. A lot of people want to just touch on them like they do with abs at the end of a workout. Make them a priority. 9 intense, heavy sets. 3 to 4 days rest in-between. HIIT will also help calves grow.
I agree with the others posters here and don't forget it's not how much you lift, but the form use to lift it. Good form will bring about better results and overall shape imo... I would also throw in some walking barbell lunges... My legs respond to them great! I take a barbell and load up either a 45 or a 45+10 on each side and do lunges all the way around the track at my gym (=1/4 mile). It hurts like hell, but man you will see a difference fast! Make sure you don't overtrain though, which can easily happen if you try that many lunges right off...
Here is a link for what I think is close to the best calf exercise out there... I have several different calf routines I work through depending on how they feel, but this link will provide a good basis to work off imo... I work calves 2-4 times per week, 25-60 minutes each workout, again depending on feel and which routine I'm doing (duration is different for all of them)...

Back:
Pull Ups, T-Bar Rows, Deads, Bent Over Barbell Rows, One Arm Dumbbell Row
***No source checks!!!***
Deadlifts, squats, and all variations thereof! Stiff legged deads, zerchers, front squats, jefferson squats, lunges, etc!
For size, Hack Squats on legs and T-bar rows for back. For a finish, I suggest Split Squats super-setting with walking lunges, tear my legs up! Back finish up with Kroc Dumbbell rows.
Squeze your blades together when working back......Feel the pump....**** the weight you use....It is more about feeling the muscle work.....For quads Lots and Lots of squats....Followed by Leg Press and then hack squats......or V Squats......For Hams stiff Deads and one leg curls followed by Lunges........With legs use LOTS of weight....as much as you can handle...
Ive got a good calf workout that has been shown to put size on steve urkel!
30/weighted standing calf raises
30/leg press calf raises
15/bodyweight calf raises with toes on a plate
15/bodyweight calf raises with heals on a plate
30/seated calf raises
30/Donkey calf raises
All of that is 1 set,i do 4-5 sets then i move on to legs,but calves are done first thing! 600-750 reps!
Try it then reply!!
