Calves question.
ad
I started working my calves near everyday and have finally started to see some decent growth out of them. What methods have you guys used to get your calves to grow? I know I'm not the only one struggling here.

I love to do 21's when working bicep and calves.... I work calves EOD, they are ment to recover quickly... same as the bicep... I start out with 7 pigeon toe seated calf raise, then 7 straight line and 7 heel in toe out.. 8 sets, abs between sets... finish off with donkey calve raises....
Thanks for the ideas guys. Calves are my nemesis but I'm determined for them to grow.
Do drop sets start with heavy weights on whatever machine you are using then get on something that you can do standing calf raises on with just your body weight. Do full range of motion slow reps and flex the shit out of your calves at the top of the motion (hold for 2-3 seconds) high reps think about forcing blood into the muscle. Don't stop till you have a single tear runs down your cheek. then move to your next calf exercise and super set with the same thing after each movement. 3 or 4 exercises and the super set will do the trick.
Listen to your calves and only really crush them when they are all but recovered. If your calves are tight a few days a week you aren't going hard enough.
My calves feel sore just from reading this.
Another option is spending your days waking on your toes in addition to your regular calf workout.
