I train calves directly but was hoping for some indirect volume (like what u get with biceps, triceps and even forearms sometimes). And this video told me that yeah, u can get that fortunately from squats, deadlifts & leg curls. But obviously u can’t skip out on direct calf volume. This is just supplementary.

    I have small calves and have actually been getting some growth once I started to work them every other day. But I think the biggest thing to help me was to do double unders between sets of calf raises and farmer's walks on my toes. I also have a standing desk and sometimes I stand on one leg on my toes for extended periods. When I say growth, I mean about a quarter inch (and that's being generous) over a year. It's not a lot, but for a guy with high, skinny calves it matters.

From that, but unrelated to the video, I was wondering if you could maybe do a video on posture correction exercises and how to counter/avoid kyphosis etc.. I think it is a very wide issue and would be greatly appreciated by a lot of people. Thanks and again a huge thumbs up for the efforts and work.

    Have at least one "heavy day" (6-12 rep range) and at least one "light day" (12-20 rep range) Calves are type 1 fiber dominant meaning they benefit from higher rep ranges Perform calf raises with a stretches at the end (per rep) Start by actively flex your quads Press your toes down Pause for 2 seconds at the top 2 seconds going up and down 2 seconds at the bottom *recommended to use calf jumps as well

    I have a PPL workout plan (6 days), so i decided to arrange them like this: since i wanna prioritize the gastroc part of my calves, i will do 4 days of any form of standing calf raise using heavy weight with 12 reps because the gastroc respond better at heavier weight and the other 2 days i will do the seated calf raise to train the soleus using lighter weight with 20 reps, since they respond better with more reps.

    I worked out quite the same (for decades) as in this video, but I had poor results regarding the mass growing; in the last past two years I completely changed approach: one leg at the time, body weight (about 103 kg), 45 seconds in slow motion and full range motion (complete contraction at the top), and 45 (or until failure, but usually 45 seconds suffice) seconds with 3 secs at the top squeezing at the best possible and one sec down... it hurts and burns like hell, but my calves are growing like never before. Toe direction works fine: I have to make grow the internal portion of the gastrocnemius (I have flat feet, so the gastro are lesser than they have to be), so I put my foot about 40-45 degrees toward the external direction: I feel only the int grastro burn...

    Good one Jeff, as usual. I'd like to add that something that helped me was a tip I picked up from, probably Ben Pakulski. To always during calf raises try to push through your big toe to ensure a straight up and down motion. I see many that tend to start initiating a supination-moment when the weights get heavy, especially at the top (instead of up and down the foot tends to deviate laterally) So instead of getting a full contraction and a straight line, the top tends to be more a rotation towards supination and leaning towards the pinky toes instead. I think this can be the same kind of phenomenon to how people tend to do during heavy curls and triceps, more and more turns into rotational variants than actual hinging. Hope that makes sense. This cue helped me a lot to keep the work where I want it to be.

    Best advice ever came from Arnold himself. As calves are basically overused due to daily walking etc they only respond to shock and overtraining. His advice: on a daily basis at the beginning of any workout do heavy calves exercises, such as standing and some other one. 5 sets each. All to failure or close to failure Put a few centimetres on them in 2 months
