You're Inconsistent With Your Volume
When it comes to training calves it's all about intensity and volume. Hitting calves once per week is not going to be enough to see the results you want, I recommend training your calves twice per week with at least 48 hours rest between workouts. Monday and Thursday, Tuesday and Saturday... whatever schedule works for you is fine as long as you get it done. I used to fall into the 'yoyo' trap, finding myself training calves three times in one week, then not hitting them again for two weeks a...
You're Only Doing One Exercise
The standing calf raise is the go-to exercise for training calves. Mix it up, you don't need to 'shock' your calves into growth... but you do need to ensure you're hitting all areas of the calf when performing your calves workout. I recommend performing the following exercises during your calves workout: 1. Standing calf raises 2. Seated calf raises 3. Leg press calf raises 4. Jump rope 5. Box jumps Your calves will also be hit indirectly during compound leg exercises such as the leg press an...
You're Calves Workout Lacks Intensity
Training calves isn't particularly fun, there's no hiding it but in order to maintain a well rounded physique you need to hit them, and hit them hard. Even Arnold Schwarzengger himself, arguably the greatest physique ever built struggled to get his calves to grow. Arnold flew around the world in order to learn the ‘secret’ to building big calves and trained them relentlessly until they came up to scratch. Luckily enough we live in a time where the internet eliminates the need to circumnavigat...
Sit down on the floor with both legs extended in front of you. Position a foam roller under the calves of one of your legs. Use your hands to lift yourself up as you begin to roll up and down the calves from above the ankle to below the back of your knee. Pause on any outstanding sore spots for 10~ seconds as a means of trigger point therapy. Repea...
There are literally HUNDREDS of cheap chinese foam rollers on Amazon and trust me they don't work well and they don't last long. The BlackRoll standard foam rollerbelow is a super high quality foam roller designed by a group of therapists, trainers and athletes, the material of the roller is water resistant too and is made in Germany.

Focus On The Full Contraction
This principle is not exclusive to calves, in order to isolate and train any muscle group effectively, be it calves or your rear deltoids the contraction and range of motion (which apply tension to the muscle) are key. When training calves your calve raises should have your pushing through the balls of your feet and squeezing your calves as hard as you possibly can at the top of each repetition before lowering yourself down until the heel of your foot drops well below the ball of your foot (i...
Work In Some Explosive Movements
Jumping movements such as jump rope, vertical leaps, pistol squat box jumps and the like all require explosive power as your calves launch your body upwards. Adding in some explosive plyometric style moves into training your calves is not only fantastic mentally for mixing things up, but the explosive movements assist in building both size and strength for your calves. There are many different disciplines of athlete out there that probably never even touch the seated calf raise machine, howev...
Mix Up The Rep Range
From my experience in order to big build calves you need to work in both heavy weight low rep exercises as well as slightly higher repetition lighter exercises as well, remember your calves are used to supporting your bodyweight as you walk, run and jump every single day of the week... Our body is in a state of homeostatis, it doesn't want to change... like the average citizen of society that's content with remaining the same forever it takes a flurry of action and events to get shit happenin...
In order to hit our calves it's important you understand what we're actually hitting. The gastrocnemius attaches just below your knee on the back of your leg, here's the often neglected and misunderstood point... The gastrocnemius has 2 heads The medial head of the gastrocnemius is the inner portion of your calves. The lateral head of the gastrocne...
When performing certain exercises such box jumps you won't be alternating foot placement, it isn't a practical movement to do so on. I recommend alternating your foot placement to hit the different heads of your calves using the following 2 exercises:
As mentioned I recommend training your calves assuming they're lagging behind once every 48~ hours. Below you'll find a few example workouts to perform every few days. Workout #1 1. Seated calf raises - 4 sets (alternate foot placement each set) - 15 reps per set 2. Leg press calf raises - 4 sets (alternate foot placement each set) - 15 reps per se...
Mar 10, 2021 · The first was in the spring of 2000 when he had an abdominoplasty to remove eight pounds of skin, and the second was chest skin surgery to tone his chest. Besides Sasso’s massive weight loss, his incredibly toned set of calves are something of an eyecatcher.
