So, apart from a thousand different variations of calf raises, are there any good free-weight calf exercises out there?

Calves' primary function is extending the ankle. There is no exercise for them that isn't essentially a raise.

No. Just be sure to work your calves from both standing (knees extended) as well as seated (knees bent) position.Originally Posted by DieselYeah

Every calf exercise is called a raise
Seated, donkey, standing, calf raises on the leg press.
