    All of the above is true. However you see so many people get carried away with adding weight that they wind up doing more of a calf bounce than a calf raise. You may have to reduce the weight but FULL reps with a pause at the top and bottom will really work the calf muscle. Let it really stretch at the bottom and hold the contraction at the top.

    This is what i've done recently, and started to treat them like any other muscle, adding weight and volume slowly and really trying to feel it work. Can't say i've noticed any extra development though
