Calf training

Have always had skinny calfs, recent;y started training them twice a week (or as soon as soreness goes) using the flex lewis style workout once then normal heavy training on the other day. Anybody got any advive/sugested routines? I hit them very hard, literally can't walk at the end of the session.

Thumbs up Re: Calf training

im tall and have genetically skinny calfs, but i have got them up to 18''.
some will disagree but i train mine twice a week, 1st session standing raises is 1 set 75 reps - pick a weight that lets you hit say 15 to failure, get of and rest NO more than 10 sec, jump back on and again do as many as you can to failure, 10 sec rest and so on till you hit 75 reps. u end up doing loads of as little as 3 rep sets, you will be sore the next few days.

2nd session is generally heavy 3 sets x standing raises, 3 sets x calf presses and 3 sets one leg standing raises all for 8-12 reps.

you might find that after the 75 rep workout you'll be sore for a week but it gets better.
half way through the 75 rep you'll proberbly wonder why am i doing this, it only takes a few minutes so just go for it, it's fun.

Re: Calf training

Cheers for taking the time to respond, trust me I value any advice, will try the 75 rep set, like the sound of that.

I've only managed to put 1/2" on my calves in 18 x months of absolutely smashing them!

Thanks again.
