Effective calf exercises @ home?

[Kreskin]

Hi everyone,

I workout at home and I am having a tough time developing my calves.

Does anybody have suggestions on which exercises I could try? Or links to some information?

Thank you in advance for your help.

Get some people to sit on your back as you are bent over at a 90 degree angle and do raises with your toes pointing out , middle and in for as many reps as you can and as many sets as you can. Those are pretty good and you can get a bunch of girls to sit on your back like Arnold used to

I am currently doing standing calf raises on the stairs holding a dumbell. I'm also doing seated calf raises with the dumbell resting on my knee - but this exercise seems like a waste of time cause I don't feel anything in my calves when doing them.

take your other foot off the ground and lift the foot that is on the ground with your tiptoes.

Donkey Punches! Or was that Donkey Calf Raises? I get the two confused all the time. :/

LOL! How do I add weight to the Donkey punch? Errr.....I mean Donkey calf raise?

Thanks.

Whether it's donkey punches or donkey calf raises, you add weight the same exact way... find a fatter girl!

A good calf block, a dip belt that can hold at least 200lbs of weights and something to grab on to for balance. You have to do them one leg at a time, no way you can hang enough weight from your waist to do both legs at once unless you are totally new, but it works.
