Best way to really develop calves?

777 recommended Doggcrapp calf training on here before and it worked for me for a while. But I find that my calves respond best to frequency. Also when doing calf raises focus on pushing through your big toe to get some more activation

I just do calf raises, a lot of slant board work, and farmers walks on my tip toes.

Become severely overweight for a year then lose all of it, then you'll have some big calves.













Obvious sarcasm.

Yeah I figure volume will be important. I imagine running up and down stairs can help get it done too

DC calve training or BFR training in them with high frequency for 8-12 weeks

A lot of it is genetic. My brother hasn't worked his calves in year and they're huge. Me, on the other hand..

The tib raises are pretty good too from kneesovertoes.

I do calf raises on the leg press machine .. do a set of 25 and then go right into the full leg press sets.

Gets it all burning and churning

Thanks everyone for the input

And zero drop shoes, have not heard of those but will check out. Are good to wear when in the outdoors?
Have heard heels are good for musculature as well

Been training hard gainer calves all my life. Volume doesn't mean shite if you aren't going slow. Go 5x slower than you're used to, otherwise the achilles will do most of the work.

Unfortunately, the way you walk determines the shape of them. Some people just don't have the inner head, no matter how hard they try. But if you want to hit a head that isn't involved in your locamotion, you really have to tweak the angle of your foot as you raise up.

More bad news: watch out, the weight it takes to really grow your calves is just as likely to give you arch and knee problems.
