Calf squeezes
Posted on 8/13/22 at 8:47 pm

In between sets of something not calf related, I’ll sit on the bench and squeeze my calfs hard for 10 seconds. I’ll do that a few times. The next few days are hard to walk sore, and usually a lot more sore than after doing actual calf work. Is there any growth potential there?

No, you are just hurting your calves.
Like asking if it will help if I take a hammer to my biceps between leg extensions. Yes, you are 'breaking down the muscle', but it needs to be done with progressively increasing tension.

I’ve been doing it to my dick for years with no extra growth.

I did the following Sunday and am having trouble walking. Calf soreness is the fricking worst.
Perform two extended sets:
15 reps and 2 calf shakes
8 reps and 2 calf shakes
8 reps and 2 calf shakes
8 reps and no calf shakes
Burns for 15-20 seconds
Negative-accentuated reps (2 legs up, 1 leg down) for 5-10 reps
Rest for 2 minutes, then repeat the entire set a second time with faster reps.

Why are you so obsessed with calves? Just do some calf raises in between something like squats. Or just go walk somewhere.

What are calf shakes?
ETA: honestly, the only time I've really dedicated training to calf growth was when I was running Juggernaut AI. You know when I got complements on my calf size? After squatober prep and squatober. Zero dedicated calf work. Calves are weird man.

I'm not
Calf shakes are just shaking out your leg a couple of times while still on the standing calf raise.
