how much weight to gain to add calf size

[fitguy]

there was a rule where someone on average should gain like 10lbs to add an inch to arms,does that apply to calves as well cause whatever i do it doesnt seem to make them grow so maybe not gaining weight is the issue here,not sure

What's your routine like? I work mine twice a week. Once on leg day with seated raises, and once on cardio and ab day with heavy standing raises. Seems to work pretty good for me.

also one calf is smaller than the other what should i do to make it grow?

i work them twice or 3 times a week and i vary my workouts from light ones 20reps to heavy ones as low as 6 reps

This reminds me of the dude on mtv years ago that got calf implants. He was such a tool.

Calfs are one of those things that depends a lot on genetics. If your talking about relative size I've often heard calf measurement should be about the same as bicep measurement.

[fitguy]

nope i mean should anyone who gain weight gain calf size as well as biceps size?

I'd have to isolate it and work it more than the other. I had to do it a while back with my left calf. It was a little smaller (andstill is a little bit) than my right. I did my normal workout, but at the end i went light weight and burned that calf up. It took a little while but it did come along. And when working them together, concentrate on that calf and make sure it's working just as hard as the other. If not harder. Squeeze it at the top just like bi's.

i just started working the way you mentioned lately and will see how it goes,as far as squeezing my calves i already do that
