Honestly people don’t work them correctly.
Think about who has the biggest calves. Two people come to mind.
1. Postal walkers
2. Ballerinas
Why? Because they use their calves a lot, and I mean a lot!
So when we go to the gym and put in 20 minutes or even 45 minutes on calves how we work them is the most important.
Why?
Calves are used all day from walking and stabilizing ourself. So when we work calves we really have to work them not just high volume but super high volume.
I’m talking about sets of 100 and doing 7- 10 sets of these high volume sets.
If you aren’t doing 700-1000 reps they aren’t going to grow like you want. Unless you are just a gifted person.
Hit those calves from different angles with sets of 100 minimum. If you have to stop to rest then do not stop for more than 10 seconds and keep going till you get that 100 rep. Then rest for 45 seconds and pound the next set out.
