calves work out

[kfrost06]

I have always had proportional small calves. Even when I hit them hard thay will get ripped but show little to no growth. Anyone that has had a similar problem and developed a work out that works to grow them I would LOVE to hear of your routine. Sometimes I wonder if I am overtraining them and other times I wonder if I just need to hit them harder.

So big calfed people what exercises, # of sets, and frequency of work outs do you do to get those things big. Thanks for any help you can offer.

I had a terrible time in the beginning really get that mind muscle connection with my calves..... I find that sled work is amazing for them just throw like 4 plates on the sled and concentrate on the deepest stretch you can get and pause for a second and they hardest contraction and pause for a second... its amazing.....

what is your calf routine?

Currently, I start with standing calf raises and do 6-8 sets of 20-10reps, first two sets kinda lightfor 20 reps and keep increasing till I get to heavy weight and can only do about 10 reps. After standing raises I get on the leg press and do 3-5 sets of 10-12reps doing raises with toes pointing in then toes pointing out. Finally I top it off with 1-3 sets of seated raises.

For me I don't do any calf workouts. Calves are my synergists for squat, but if i really want them to get bigger i just jog for about 15 minutes at very slow pace and the next day they are big.
