He said that he won't be writing those anywhere soon, as RP just recently started experimenting with forearm training. I believe he doesn't do direct neck training either, but you can figure out those by yourself if you're interested.

I have been using your advice for a program I use with my training bud. He, even with his 20+ years of experience, has on several occasions mentioned that the program is really good. So thanks Dr. Mike!

Great video, I used to get discouraged. I’m in great shape but always had bird calves. Last year I fully committed to twice a week training. Focusing on the contraction and a full stretch are great tips. Mine grew some to the point I’m not that embarrassed to wear shorts lol

Love these hypertrophy guide videos. Also Mike has such a nice soothing voice to listen to.

Thank you so much. I may have watched every calve video and read every calve article and this was one if the best!

Love everything dr. Mike puts out, always great

The information in this video series is so valuable. Thank you!!

this series and Jeff’s science applied series are everything🙌🏾🙏🏾

Thanks Dr.Mike, really enjoy the hypertrophy series... as a beginner lifter, there is a lot of info out there on different types of exercises, but dont break down the recommended MEV, MAV, MRV rep ranges etc. These video are short and sweet but straight to the point and very informative 👍👍

Omar Isuf will love this one lol

You Literally summarized everything in the 1st 1min of the video.Much appreciated and thanks for being very detailed💯💯💯💯💯

Iv watched and still do lots of calf videos, if you’re reading this mate I want you to know you explained things really well and I like the way you come across . . . . thanks for the info and advice👍

Thank you for your knowledge and presentation, to the point, useful info and nicely articulated. I will immediately follow your advice!! Once again, thank you and blessings to you and yours.

Awesome video man!!! Thank you so much for the info!

Great video once again Mike

I appreciate your videos so much! I am really working hard to build up my forearms this year, we would all love a forearm hypertrophy guide. Thank you

Hey, Thanks so much... Excellent advice.

The most important video in the history of bodybuilding

I definitely need this guide

Finally all i was waiting for :)

Thanks for the great video!

Holding the peak contraction is an underrated tip for calves. You get a hypoxia occlusion effect due to the sustained contraction. You progress by timing the duration of the peak contractions as well as the standard sets & reps counts

This was great. Thankyou 👍

Good presentation.

Haha tippy toes. I was doing calves on a Smith the other day, going through full range of motion and a guy approached me to recommend the bouncing shit. "bang out as many movements as you can, as quickly as possible," he said. His calves were half the size of mine...and mine aren't huge 🙈

Extremely informative video.

I was born with monster calves and would happily give half of them away in exchange for some biceps.

Vandit Jain unlike my calves.

I always do calf raises with a bit less weight I did squats with after doing squats. Worked wonders. What truly made a difference in additon to calf workouts were tibialis raises for my lower leg

Do a guide for forearms please!!

Actively dorsiflexing at the bottom of a calf raise increases the stretch even more, I've gotten pretty sore down there with this advice.

Listening to this while doing calf raises

Also sled pulling/ pushing for calves is a good idea, even a good fit for strength training, and microloadable

Now we need one for the anterior tibialis!

BFR experts advise against wrapping at the knee or elbow. They recommend always wrapping at the top of the limb.

What about Forearms and Neck ? Great series!

good stuff brother

I do about 15 sets per week for calves, slow reps, full rom and they recover so fast, in a matter of minutes I'd say. They grow but I don't even feel my calves need for recovery

I do three times per week, 7 sets per time, split into three different movements with one of them bent knee, for a total 21 sets per week, 17 to 25 reps. per set. It’s cray

Well said!

Forearms please!! I've got the male physique template but there's no specific training for the forearms. Awesome guides!

What works for me is three heavy sets per day. 10-15 reps, it's very recoverable and you don't need too draw so much focus on them when doing legs and it's easy to incorporate for the people who hit the gym 5-6 times a week. You will discover that bodyweight usually isn't enough unless you do 6 second negatives..

bodyweight one leg at a time is better but still only takes you up to a point, added weight is necessary for calves to get truly shocked :O

Nice tips 👌

Will there be a forearm hypertrophy guide?

Would growing the soleus muscle be good for folks who work on their feet a lot in unstable movement situations? I'm wondering or if it'll strengthen my ankle and related ligaments?

Have you made a video on forearm hypertrophy?

With a smith machine, just put a step there to stand on so that you can get that stretch :-)

I love this guy

Gunna do a proper mass pahse with specializing the calves and the rear delts along with either my back. Cuz doing my arms with my shoulders rn.

Do one on elongation of the male root

I have a question about volume. When you say 12-16 sets per week, do you mean 12-16 sets per week of each exercise or is that the total sets you should do for all calf exercises. So you said for MEV that 8 sets a week means 4 sets for 2 days, does that mean I should only be doing one exercise for 4 sets on two days, or do you mean 4 sets on two days per week of each exercise I choose to do for calves? Sorry if I made a simple question very complicated, I just wanted to make sure to elaborate on what I meant.

Finally here!

My regular workout has just “floor-up” calf raises. After watching this I included a chair back under half my foot and holy crap am I sore now!!

It's insane how Dr Mike has gotten even bigger after 4 years

The most important muscle of the body!

Forearms, I’d really like to hear that one

It was mentioned briefly but it’s SO important not to bounce if you want to actually work the calves not your Achilles’ tendon. Also rewinding to 2009... bodyrecomposition.com/muscle-gain/training-the-calves.html/

Walking down the stairs is the best exercise for calves. No weight needed. Because you are on your toes as you take a step down, your calves absorb huge amounts of force in full contracted position, a few times your bodyweight. Then you automatically control your weight to balance your front leg to take another step, that's slow eccentrics. Try it, 50 stairs at a time, climb back up, repeat 10 times. That's like 250 reps per leg. Your calves will get more sore than ever for the next few days. Work your way up to 20 rounds. Your calves will grow. And because you aren't stretching your ankles too much, you don't have to worry about training frequently if you train your calves this way, without inflaming your achilles.

Nice!

I trained calves for the first time in a year the other day, went hard lol. Seated/Standing / donkey, I was crippled for 3 days.

Been doing calf machine work for months and got nowhere with it. Switched to Smith machine standing on 10kg plates for a deep stretch. Worst DOMS I've ever had! Finally a use for the Smith machine!

Lies. We all know minimum effective volume = infinity sets/week

Doc I see your diesel ,I just joined a gym ,your opinion does the machines in gym for chest,arms,shoulder,etc will they get a person built

Best intro music.

I train calves 3 times a year.. I might reduce it to 2 because they are growing huge and they bump into each other while walking

Does crossing your eyes help with doing skull crushers?

I have to wait 3-4 mins between sets to get another good set. My reps regardless of rep range are taken to failure. If I was to wait only 30 secs between sets, I would go from, let say, 12 reps to 3 reps. Most people don’t like to train calves and never go to failure. I’m not talking about failure as in how much pain you feel but failure as in physical failure (you can’t lift the weight anymore)

But mike if am only doing 4 sets/week but using a heavier load each time,will they grow?

But if someone will go more down is it ok if his or her lifting there's toes up ???

Why no video about forearms

Any alternatives for people who cannot do calf raises. Bottom of my feet hurt when I do them

Will there be forearms¿
