Workout A (one day rest)
ALL STANDING CALVE RAISES
-12x12 RYTHMIC REPS
Workout B (two days rest)
STANDING CALVE RAISES

SEATED CALVE RAISES
-10x12 RYTHMIC REPS
Workout C (Three days rest)
ALL STANDING CALVE RAISES:

I've personally found a benefit from varying the sets/reps. I'd do my compound leg exercises, but also go heavy on seated calf raises and go for higher reps on standing calf raises. One week, I'd do 3 sets, another I'd do 4, another week I'd do drop sets, etc..
Of course, you'd have to experiment yourself to see what works for you =]I can accept failure, everyone fails at something. But I can't accept not trying.
I'm not out there sweating for three hours every day just to find out what it feels like to sweat.

Whats worked for me is using exadurated range of motion, where constantly doing mini reps when where walking around every day so the bet way to spurt on growth is the give them something UNIQUE
so it makes sense that the range of motion should be completely altered, this tempo has worked best for me
concentric phase tempo 1 up - than hold for 4 at peak contraction
eccentric phase tempo 1 down - than hold for 4 and stretch
play around with the rep range and see what your body responds to best, for me its around 10 reps.I'm most lickly eating right now.
