    Calves are lacking

    What is something that I can do to blast my calves? I do seated calf raises, and standing calf raises once a week, and I do high reps with as much weight as I can handle with good form. Ive always had small legs, but Ive gotten my quads, and hamstrings to grow pretty good lately. Calves are my weakness though.

    I actually just posted this like 4 days ago! I give this credit for my calves!!



    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
    REST
    Repeat

    All of that is 1 set back to backt,i do 4-5 sets then i move on to legs,but calves are done first thing! 600-750 reps!
    Try it then reply!!

    You need to work them more then once a week....Follow Tops plan and do it 3 times a week and they will grow......
