Ready to finally grow those calf muscles? I've been what I call The Lab trying different exercises, variations, tempo, sets, reps. you name it to get these calves to grow and recently I've been starting to see some really good results. What I do is split my calf training into three separate parts and really focus in on the Gastrocnemius, Soleus and Tibialis Anterior. Here's an the exact workout from the video. WORKOUT: -Seated Calf Raise (Heavy Partial Bottom Reps) - 5 sets / 15 - 20 reps -Standing Single Leg Calf Raise (Extreme Lockout w/ Weight Shifted Into The Glute) - 4 Sets / 20 + reps -Dumbbell Flexion & Extension - 4 Sets / 20 IG

Calves are tricky for those who have bad genetics. They are sure not as appealing as any other muscles by default / in the first place. But it does not mean that we cannot train them and make them grow. Sometimes people forget that they do not train them as hard as any other muscles, or they haven-t even trained them yet! But when they train them 3x per week, just like any other muscles, doing the proper exercises, running, sprinting, or isolation movements, such as calf raises with a controlled full stretch and contraction, they surely will grow.

You don't build calves in the gym or home. Put on a 50kg(110 in retard units) military backpack and start marching on rough terrain such as beach(sand, forest, gravel etc. Do this everyday for 1-2 hours and within a month you'll have calves the size of a -hand egg-(football in hurr durr 'murica. All that test ain't gonna help you build those chicken calves buddy. You've got the black man calf curse. XD

I have had a personal favorite of mine for years for my calf mussels similar to like he was doing but use both legs & just stand with either both even use one or both hands to balance & just lift your body up with the front of your feet you can go slow or fast i can normally do 80 of them when im not really trying it works really well if anyone is interested also thanks man im gonna try some of yours -

I got like the most stubborn calves ever. What i did to slowly add on thickness was just to completly destroy them at the beginning of everyworkout and using Bloodflow restriction to increase the facial stretch, to the point i just felt sick of the pain. And yeah always make sure my calves are showing when in the gym for more motivation to get some size down there

What worked for me is high rep high volume standing leg curls with 3 different foot positions and really go for the stretch, and as an example 3 sets of 75 reps it sounds crazy but your calves will grow. You probably will not be able to walk afterward but constantly stretch in between sets and you can break the reps down to 25 s good luck

I tried many different exercises in the last 20 years. Nothing worked. I use very light weight and stay on top for 3 seconds and go back down very slow. Only 3 sets of about 15 to 25 reps. Standing with a dumbbell in my hand. Single thing that works 4 me. Not heavy weight. Not 10 sets.

I did calves every alternative day, high weight quality reps and body weights more reps on the other day. Result is my calves grew more than an inch in 40 days. I literally went from very skinny genetics calves to good prominent calves and everybody got shocked

With one partially torn Achilles 3 years ago and surgery for a rupture two years ago, I just can't do raises well. My gym has this rotary calf machine which is awesome, or calf prices with one of the leg press machines. Maybe that'll help for guys like me?

For the last exercise, my knees and quads shake like crazy, so it was difficult to do the exercise. Is there a possible way to stop the shaking? (Please note this happened after I completed my quads and hamstring work out, I always save calves for last)

Man I was looking forward to that last one. . but having one of my ankles completely fused from an injury. . blew that out. Oh well there is only so much you can do sometimes. Ryans vids and training instruction is great though. Thank you a lot!
