so my calves are small and for the last month ive been smashing them 3 days a week, 8 sets each day i train them and in a months time they have become really vascular but still small..is this the first sign that their growing? Is it normal for calves to become vascular this quick with a solid one months training?

Suffer the pain of discipline or suffer the pain of regret! We must train from the inside out. Using our strengths to attack and nullify any weaknesses. It's not about denying a weakness may exist but about denying its right to persist.

yeh i was thinking of slowing the training down to 2 days and do 10 sets on each calve day.
Mine are pathetic 14" calves...oh well at least they are vascular and lean
ill do 4 sets of like 20 reps with a lighter weight and then 4 sets of about 8 reps really heavy. I hold the contraction at the top of every calf raise as well for a second and squeeze.

I get calf compliments, and I never ever count reps on calves. I have always basically gone until I can't do another single rep.
I usually train calves 2x a week, a combination of standing calf raises, seated calf raises, and leg press calf presses. I also believe that HIIT sprints help develop calves more than any calf raise.

Common misconception...it is closer to the first thing than the last. You need to stop thinking about what attracts you to guys and more what attracts girls to guys...lol

I got the same problem brah, its genetics. The muscle is also positioned high on the calf (ie: chicken legs) And from my experience calf raises have never produced the grow as sprinting does.
