calves?

[gainmusclefast]

ive always just done em once a week and at the end of the workout like 4-5sets, what do you guys do for calves?

[rhizome]

2x week, one day soleus, the other gastrocs. 4 sets, each with 2-3 rest/pauses or drops. "Set 5" is a multi-set in FST-7 style.

twice on a five day cycles one day real high reps 10X30 the other day 3X30

[Zoupa]

twice a week

1 day is 4 sets leg press calf raise
other day is 4 sets seated calf raise

[Cuchulainn]

Every other day alternating between high rep (light weight) and heavy weight (low reps).

The variation in the rep range is because calves are almost equally balanced between fast twitch and slow twitch muscle fibers.

Twice a week, 3 different exercises.

Seated calf raise- 3 x 4-8 reps
Standing Calf Raise on Smith Machine- 3 x 20, 30, 40 reps
Weighted Toe Raises- 2 x 10-12 reps


I alternate the seated and standing calf raises with which I do high and low reps.

Seems to be working good so far, not been doing this for very long though.

Toes in and toes out twice a week with weight. Straight foot without weight and high reps every other week.
