Calves
Training is going great, finally seeing a whole lot more improvement in the legs. Been getting a lot of questions regarding calf workouts so figured I’d throw up some info here. As far as frequency goes I usually train them about 3 times a week at least at high intensity with relatively high reps. Hitting these at the end of my workouts is ideal and leaves you almost crawling outta the gym,lol. First start with standing calf raises at 20 reps and go no lower than 15 reps while still keeping that weight as high as possible. Next ill switch to seated raises to really get that gastrocnemius to thicken. Staying to 4 sets for both exercises and drop setting the last set of seated raises. Give this one a shot and keep me posted with how everything works out. Good Luck!!

I trained calves with the same frequency! I also incorporated 3 toe positions = toes IN, toes OUT, and feet straight ahead, varying the foot spacing, so I could isolate all the parts of the calve!
Your calves are amazing, so it’s definitely working! I’m always impressed with the photos that show your leg development!
