I was wondering if anyone here can share some of their calf exercizes with me that will help build up my calfs...I've been training with weights for some time but it seems like my calfs are the hardest to bulk up!!!:( I usually do a standing calf raise, weighted of course:D Oh and I try to run up and down my stairs at home on my toes, if that counts for something LOL!! (I have 3 flights of stairs in my home) I am getting bored with that and would like to incorporate some new exercizes into my routine on my Leg day, I was also thinking that maybe I should start doing some sort of exercize when I am home in my spare time. I gotta build these beotches up!!! Any ideas would be greatly appreciated.

Re: help for the calf muscle impaired....
well your choices are limited lol. standing calf raises or seated calf raises. some people do donkey calf-raises or leg press calf raises but the overall factor in calf size is GENETICS. reality sucks but sometimes people just don't have the muscle belly or the muscle insertion point to have nice sized calves no matter how much they lift. My one suggestion would be to cut back on your training depending on what you are doing. I usually do about 1 set per leg workout or ever two weeks. sometimes I will only do 1 set per month because my calves look funny because they are too big for the rest of my legs. :DOriginally posted by redMachchick

cooked calves under 4 min!! try that routine. the routine is posted somewhere in this forum. beware though, this routine will literally cripple you for the first couple of weeks. but it will add some size to stubborn calves. good luck.Comment

Do these 4 movements in a row with no rest between them.
Standing Calf Raise
Seated Calf Raise
Lag Press Calf Exts.
Standing Calf Raise
Add weight each set while dropping reps. Three cycles should do it
Go for 8-25 reps decreasing reps as you add the weight.Be prepared to hurt!Comment

the cooked calves in 4 minutes is quite good:
75 repititions standing calve raises
do a weight you could normally do for 15 reps nonstop
then do 1 set for 75 reps
when you get to 15 or 20 and cant do any more then stop and wait no longer than 10 seconds to continue.
GET FULL REPS- even if you only do 5 at a time til you reach 75, do full reps, otherwise youre wasting four minutes.Comment
