calves

this was mentioned by someone awhile back but i think its worth mentioning again. if u just cant get ur calves to grow try this. use approximately 60% of ur 1 rep max whether u choose seated calf raises, leg press calf raises, or what ever, do as many slow controlled reps as u can. rest no more than 10 sec. and continue. repeat as many times as it takes for a total of 75 reps. remember no more than 10 sec. rest between mini sets. ive been using this technique for several months and have had more calf growth in this short time frame than in the past several yrs. give it a try. also effective for ab training, weighted crunches, decline weighted sit ups etc

My genetics suck for calves. (My Uncle who lives down in the Virgin Islands, St.John owns a bar called skinny legs, everyone from my family from my mom's side has skinny legs).

I go heavy and really try just to get them pumped. And if they are really sore the next day I know I worked them

I'm gonna try that and see if it works. When I get sunburned I can be mistaken for a flamingo. I feel I hit calves pretty hard but so far nothing.

it will work, honestly it will. my calves use to never get sore and today they r literally sore to the touch after 1 set of 75 reps of leg press calf raises friday

just my 2 cents but are you hitting all angles when doing calve excercises? Placing your feet like the following

I I \ / /\

I I - like you are standing normal

\ / - your heels will be touching so when you look down, it looks like a V

/\- your toes are now pointed in, touching each other

I hit all three in one big set, 10, 10 ,10, walk around and go back for more. This was advice from Arnold and when you get to /\, your calves are burning

this helped me to get a nice cut in the lower back calve.

good luck
