I hate my calves!!

[smiles]

What I meant by 2-4 plates was for qual of from both sides so 2=plate off each side, so forth... That's what I meant by that... So for instance I am leg pressing 18 plates and calve raising 12 witch is max for the calve raise machine, so if I want to go heavier I have to use the leg press machine for more weight on my calve raises...

I have a strange body type - large biceps/triceps but scrawny forearms. Large glutes, thighs but scrawny calves.

My calves are long and always looked underdeveloped but they've always been very strong. I've worked them in the past with very little results but have grown them a bit with Prowler pushes.

I do two kinds of Prowler pushes....lighter weight sprints that give an ok calve workout and heavy weight slow walking where I take large steps and really contract my calves on every step. This leaves them burning like crazy and has resulted in them developing nicely. Since doing this (and working my legs in general) at 6'5" I can one hand dunk a basketball again.....used to me able to two hand dunk without a running start but that's going take some more weight loss

Do you train your forearms every time you train your arms? If not that is probably your problem... I always train forearms last during arm days I will do revers forearm curls, than I will lay my forearms on a preacher bench with a barbell and curl up, also take dumbbells, sometimes, and do side curls for forearms during my forearm work out... Also forearm grip , free weight, machines are the shit and rope roll ups are awesome too...

Seated leg presses and pushing all the way out with my toes works very well for me.
