Holy balls, guys. I’ve been home from the gym for a little while now and my calves are still burning. Check out this article from ‘98. I have good sized calves, and they grow best with 2x a week training, moderate weight, long stretches at the bottom, and holds at the top (tippy top, not that halfway up bs), but I was getting bored of the same old routine I was doing and tried this. One high volume day and one low volume day.
Just finished the high volume day, it’s 16 friggin sets.
3 sets of Seated Calf Raise at a 101 tempo for 10, 5, 5 reps superset with donkey calf raises for 30-50 reps after every set (did 30 for the first workout, I’ll probably add 5 each time I do it).
Then 10 sets of standing calf raise done like a drop set, you only rest 10 seconds between every set and keep dropping the weight. I don’t do super heavy standing calf raises so I did 180 down to 20 dropping 20 lbs every time and the last set BW. Goooooooood lord the pain, the pump, the inability to walk on my tiptoes currently.
Like I said in the bear thread, they get all cocky pushing ducks around, then think they can do the same with trains and stuff. They gonna get turned into snarge!
