2-3x per week. I never train them on leg day as they are getting some training from all of the other work.

When ever I feel like it
Ive been trying twice a week for a while now and seems to be a muscle i just cant get to grow. What am i doing wrong?
Whenever i do squats and or deadlifts but I don't do direct calf work

Put the treadmill on a 15 inlcine and have at it. Both seated and standing calf raises, each one hits two different muscles. Switch it up from bilateral to unilateral, same as you would do for arms. When I do calfs I do heavy but I also go lighter to focus on full rom and hold it at the top.
The best calf work I ever had was when I played soccer and basketball. My school didnt have football so that was a no go.
All the explosive movements and sprinting, hopping, jumping and changing direction blew them fuckers up. To be fair I have ridiculous calves and anything I do will force growth.
They look like double d's hanging off my legs. All their missing is a nipple to suck on

I hit them once per week. About 10 working sets.

I do 4 sets of weighted calf raises at 10-12 reps 3x a week. Seems to be working better for me than just twice a week.
I hit them 3-4x a week.

My Calves responded well when I started to train them M/w/f. They are a smaller muscle so they recover quickly. I recommend you train them at least two days a week, but 3 is best IMO. They need to be trained more frequently and they are a difficult muscle to get to grow for lots of guys.

Try some of this......
Standing calve raises - I want you to do a few warms then your sets should be like this. Do 10 full reps. Athe end of the 10th
rep, stand on your toes and count to 10 (with weight still on your back), then come
back down and do 10 more reps, and then stand back up on your toes for another count of 10 seconds, and finally 10 more reps for 30 total, followed by another 10 seconds of standing on your toes in the
machine.
Immediately followed by
Seated calve raises - I want you to do 10 nice and slow full range of motion reps here. It will sting a bit. Do 3 rounds.
6 total sets via 3 supersets
Or
Standing calve raises – Heavy weight on these this week. After a few warm ups do 8 sets of 8 with 45 second breaks! 8 total working sets.
Immediately followed by
Seated calve raises - I want you to do 35 reps on these. Up and down with continuous tension. Do 2 sets. 2 total working sets.
Or
Standing calve raises – Do sets of 8 full range reps then 10 partials. Do 4 sets like this. 4 total working sets.
Or
Standing calve raises – After warming up, do 6 full range reps heavy with a 10 second flex at the top, then 20 half reps out of the bottom (stretch position). Stretch hard at the bottom when doing the partials. Do 4
sets like this. 4 total working sets.
Then
Seatedcalve raises – Do 3 sets of 10 with a full range of motion.
Or
Standing calve raises – After warming up, do 15 full range reps heavy with a 3 second flex at the top. Then cut the weight in half and do 10 more like this. That is one set. Do 6 sets with 2 minute breaks between sets. 6 total work sets.
Then
Seated calve raises – Do 3 sets of 10 with a full range ofmotion. 3 total work sets.
Do 2-3 times per week. Do one Combo one week then switch to another combo the next week. You will love it!.
