    Mine stopped growing too...I changed to this and it shocked the hell out of them

    Calf raises on leg press machine - 15-20 reps
    Standing calf raises (weighted) - 15-20 reps
    Seated calf raises - failure
    Single leg standing (toes on plate) - failure

    These are done one after the other, no rest

    Take a small break, then repeat.

    Good Luck

    volume

    when you do your exercises, execute them with higher volume. hit them with alot reps in your sets. the calf muscle is extremely difficult to over train as well so really get them good 4 to 5 days a week.

    Taboo when are you working them and what are you doing right now for them? I think you need to shock them back into growth.......Try this out:

    Standing Calve Raises: 135 x 50, 225 x 25, 315 x 20, 405 x 15, 495 x 10 followed by a drop set of 405 x failure, 315 x failure, 225 x failure, 135 x failure....No rest in between dropsets.

    Seated Calve Raise: 1 plate x 50 (Hold one second bottom 2 seconds at top), 2 plates x 25, 3 plates x 15, 4 plates x 10 followed by Drop set as mentioned above.

    Leg Press Raises: Start by doing one leg at a time, don't worry about the weight, it is the reps we will concentrate on......Only go up to about 120lbs for as many reps as you can then switch over to the other leg and do the same, with no rest switch to other leg and continue for 4 sets.

    Standing Calve Raises with no weights: 500 reps x 2 sets....Try this routine for 3 days a week for a month and I bet money your calves begin to grow again.
