Those muscles wrapped around your shin are a mystery wrapped in an enigma when it comes to training. Do they grow according to genetics or training stimulus? And if training does make all the difference, what kind of training are we talking about? Heavy weight for low reps, or lighter weight for high reps?
Power-walking soccer moms would sport monster calves if repetitive motion were the key. You need to hit 'em hard.
Arnold, who ruined the elastic in his fair share of tube socks in the 70s, put it this way: "Every day you walk around. When you walk you are using your calves. You are pushing at least your body weight every time you take a step. So, when you go to the gym and work out your calves with light weight, are you really stressing your muscles?"
Arnold put his calves through the ringer. He would perform all types of calf raises until he couldn't fully extend the muscle. Then, he would perform little bursts until the muscle finally couldn't move or extend, rendering his foot practically useless at the time after training. This method contributed to him becoming arguably the greatest bodybuilder of all time.
I take a similarly aggressive approach to raising calves. Your calves will not grow unless you absolutely DESTROY them! So I'm going to ask you to tack 10-to-12 sets of calf work onto the end of 4 or 5 workouts a week. (If that's too many sets at first, start at 5 and then build up to 12.) Each set should be 30 reps: 10 reps with toes pointed out, 10 reps with toes pointed in, 10 reps with toes pointed forward. No matter what calf move you're doing, switch it up like this.
The calves need this smack-down. Their strength should be commensurate with the strength of your quads and hamstrings. A weak link between your bigger legs muscles and the ground will limit performance and perhaps cause injury.

I see what I've been doing wrong the whole time. I've been wearing Nike's instead of a pair on Converse .
This comment was really funny dude. I throw the biggest laugh of the day
😂😂😂
nunya bidness some people do wear flip flops when working out on their legs. Also flat shoes like converse are better for legs exercises.
Mine is I won’t shave my legs
Jon Miller shave and tan. Hairy ass legs look nasty.
When your calves make up 50% of your body mass.
😂😂😂
dude your savagely brilliant
I think it's the converse man
My calfs are actually bigger...
Adam D.G lol

lol
that moment when your calves are bigger than every other muscle combined
Dude so sick
Haha yeah, definitely insane calves he has, but if I were him, i'd relax on the training for them and focus on the other body parts
+karlmalone11 gerantee he has always had big calves genetically
THConnoisseur Yeah I agree, lucky bastard.
That moment bodybuilding.com re-opload an old video

I'm coming from stick legs. Training 4 to 5 days a week. These are my calf goals.
Hey, how is it going?
Technical foul for having small calves get his b@#$ a@# outta here!!!! LOL. Big fan of your channel good luck on your calve goals 👍
@@josephstalin2305 my pants don't fit anymore. I had to buy a size bigger pants. It literally only took two months of 5 days a week. Protein shakes and creatine. I should have filmed this process. Smh.
@@djmeechymeech Lol protein shakes and creatine aint growing you big calves.
I have to say this is by far the most intense calf workout I've ever done this is my first time doing it I will continue but I just want to say thanks I know this is going to work.
GROW CALF GROW!
did they grow like his hahaha
Decided to try this last Friday as part of my leg day routine. Holy h***! It's now Sunday and my calves are still feeling the burn. Awesome workout!
I have freakishly good calves--line down the center and some pretty good mass. It's actually better aesthetically than this guys. People always asked, "how did you get such nice calves?" It's natural, I used to say...because I didn't want to tell them the truth...that I'm inclined to point my toes when I masturbate.
coll man
LLLLLLLLLLLLOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOLLLLLLLLLL I ACTUALLY DO THAT AHAHA
Affiliatemarkting/RUclips no
Mastrubation is bad and forbidden in Religion leave it and live a better life 🌷
Be Victorious if you have a religion but they prob don’t have a religion
..."oh I forgot to mention....I naturally have BIG calves!"
Must be nice
Mama Sita its called having genetics
Good genetics
Good genetics my ass. everybody need to work on calves
Mama Sita he’s right, when it comes to calves you can just have good genetics, I’m sure her has put on a little size working out but he was born with them well developed
Here's what I do-
-Keep em clean with regular washing, calves hate being dirty
-Spend time with them, develop a relationship with them
-regular feeding is vital for your calves to help them grow into big strong cows
Good luck with your calves guys!
Nailed it
LMAO
Why do people call the cows.... Is the second comment in 2 different videos about calves i read that
Mecanotech small cows are called calf
Hey is it okay to do these 4 workouts all the time? Bumping weight up as i get stronger? Or will i hit a plateau and the repetitiveness wont be as effective anymore??
Listening to the resting music and the sudden switch to working sets is so funny
I like how the rock music made everything sound more exciting than it is
what if u go to a shit ass gym
change it.
modify machined
dead
bro i have to thank you i follow your full calve workout for the past 6mnths and i see great fantastic results thank you noble preston
This was a really nice video. The instructions were short and to the point, but well explained and at the end, he explained how to progress. Thanks for the instructional.
Stretching in between sets is something I have found to be very effective.
Those calves are massive! I got to start working out my chicken legs LOL!
Loving this workout. Great to come across this channel
I never thought of changing the angle of the foot, will be trying it next workout. Thanks
Damn lol my calves are to high up xD, rip thanks mom and dad.
I hear you brother lol. Mine too. Guess we have to build more massive bone density below the calf muscle
Wodchly ha mine are nice low!>:)
Wodchly Whatdo you guys mean ?
It means the calf muscle start high up on the shin making the leg look skinny even when you train your calves.
but that's good for almost every sports... I want to have that kind of calves :(
Might as well cut off my calves and reattach them lower on my leg
feel the same way too😂
Lol
Atrix xira Could it be possible?
probably but tendons are bitch to heal most are stapled or bolted to the bone.
Dog calfs?

Awesome stuff
I'm literally sitting here eating a cookie thinking "wow. That's inspiring."
DISCLAIMER: Will not work if you have high calf inserts.
wat does that mean?
Christian Guzman
+Maxinho 123 the length of your calves to your ankles, if it's high it's really hard to make em grow, if it's short it'll be easier
TheBadassOne17 mine are about half way?
+Dark Knight Lol
Thanks for sharing
This guy is talking truth!!!!!!!!
All what he saying is so true... I can finally relate. Big thanks
Trained calves hard two days in a row last week, 10 good sets each day, and I have never experienced more soreness in my calves in all my 15+ years of training.
lol all the people making excuses in the comments, maybe if they trained as much as they complain the could at least get something, but whatever excuse to skip leg day right babe?
You know it brah, always keen to skip leg day. I think I forgot to work out chest a second time this week...
Rip rich piana
Sushi with calves like mine one doesn't skip leg day. Even though I still complain.
@@Prado-Films I'm 19, my squat is 115kg and my heavy squat is anywhere between 125 - 140 (that's for about 4 reps) but my calves are fucking tiny dude and I train them all the time😂😪😪
Great thanks for your video
Was a great job man well done ✅
Am 45 and I've trained weights since I was 17,, you can build big calve muscles,, just batter them 3to4 times a week,, Form gives great definition to your overall legs they don't have to be big just defined,, Get over it guys and grow some self confidence
kikkaace one yeah I’m 18 and I love the size of my calves I just want defined calves now
0:50 he was disappointed because his training partner couldn't mount his back lol
Most useful. Thanks for the tips
The video I was looking for!
wtf. those calves are massive
Definitely going to try this routine for my skinny ass calves 🤣
I know Man, we've gotta try something.
Thank you boss 😊
Thanks brother 👍

it should be illegal for you to walk around the gym in shorts 😂
Thanks ! A lot of functional gain since I paid attention to my calves. Thanks for pointing out the need to change angles. Just ignore those silly comments and keep sharing👍👍👍
this is by far the best calves workout, two days later still feeling the pain. that only means one thing. best calves workout.
Also means straining a potential injury; muscle tear, carmping etc
Keep in mind genetics plays a big factor with calves, you're either born with them or born without them
I disagree with you when it comes to calves bud
Look at Christian Guzman, then talk. He has long insertions of the gastrocnemius muscle, and his calves look very skinny compared to his quads. Also he is ripped everywhere else
+noka5730 because maybe that's a certain part of his body he enjoys training and not his quads, if you study sport conditioning and do bodybuilding you would know...
Nah it's pretty universally accepted that you can't just build monster calves by working them like other parts of the body. I mean sure, you can strengthen and develop them to some degree but look at pro football and basketball players. They are constantly doing motions that are great for the lower legs and yet some of them have bell pepper calves and some have twigs and it's not an indicator of speed, quickness, explosiveness or much of anything.
+Ryan G soccer players run mostly and so do basketball players. look at dancers and their calves then reply to this comment because you clearly don't get that running works on one part of the calve not like when you do calve raise. buddy so me a favour and do calve raises of you do t know what it is go look it up and then do 250 everyday for 1 month
I tried this. I literally couldnt walk for 3 days.
Strerch your calves after workout
Calves really get sore very easily
Same .haha..
I couldn‘t hit the ground with the whole feet, I walked on my toes and both knees turned to the inner side, had to walk like that for 6 days. Day 7-12 it got better, it really was horrible
Would do it again...

Ive seen this vid many times and after analyzing Ive discover that the true power comes from the shoes, those are the key
Gotta upload a old video to confuse the viewers Right babe ?

They either kick in eventually or not at all. I had appallingly small calves when I was a teenager but I turned a metabolic corner when I hit 25 and now they're pretty big and respond much better to training. It was about the same time my flat teenager ass vanished.
Thanks
Thanks strong training
Guy working his baby calves in the background 😂🤣
Looks like Joseph Gordon Levitt
Eddie Medrano yes 😂
Thank you !
You are the best !!!
Team high insertion/small muscle belly calves here! BUT I’ve been training them 5-6 times at the end of each workout for 4 years, and doing what this guy does, plus a few other adjustments:
- shin muscle development (flexing toes hard upward at the bottom of a calf raise)
- heavy weight on bottom part of calf raise to put a load on the muscle when it’s stretched (tears it up good, especially seated raises)
- 1 1/2 reps (going all the way up fast, hold 1 sec, back to bottom slow, hold 1 sec, then half way up for 1 sec fast, pressing big toes down hard) OR half way up first, 1 sec, down slow, 1 sec, all the way up fast, 1 sec, down slow, 1 sec
- Single leg calf raises are crucial
- High reps high reps high reps! This guy’s 30 number is perfect! According to Jeff Nippard, adding one heavy calf raise is also good, keeping reps low
Been doing all this for about 4 years, and they have grown both in size and strength. They’re still not where I want them to be, but they definitely be responding 😎✌🏼
wtf are those shoes
Who doesn't know what those shoes are
Best shoes to do deadlifts in .
Very clean and new clown shoes?
He uses them because they are flat and not high
Dumb
My own calf development can be such a challenge. I'll be incorporating some of these tips in my next workout and just keep at it. I think if I stay consistent and trust the process, I should have some well developed calf muscles.
amazingworkouts
Calves is all genetics. I have a bunch of friends who have never touched a weight in their lives and have bigger calves than this dude. And I see people who practically train their calves everyday and only show mild definition, but no mass. I'll focus on quads and hamstrings. Thanks.
amen
maybe because they train them everyday by lifting there fat upper body when they walk?
2-3 days is nothing, I do them everyday both thigh and calves and they grew so much more than when I did just 2-3 a week. Now my calves are bigger than my thighs
Ashley Johansson arr you sure?
Blackwiz even if your calves don't get bigger, working them still helps keep your body healthy. My feet and ankles used to hurt when I ran, but after doings calves 1-3 times a week, I haven't had that problem since.
I swear I've already saw this video somewhere
where?
HD Re upload
your mom has big calves. maybe that's where you seen it. bro.
He’s form is very good, that’s one of the keys to building bigger calf muscles!
Very satisfying video
that's some nice equipment.... my gym's seated calf's equipment is BS... damn man...
Even though my genetics prevent me from having big calves, I still try lol. My upper body and quads are huge compared to my calves
L u k e B l u n d e l l If you can grow your upper body or quads, then there's no reason why you can't grow your calves. It's not as if genetics hate calves but loves biceps or something.
@@adhiraj9781 yes it is exactly like that lmao genetics love biceps and chest but they hate calves
My chest, shoulders, core, and thighs grow well with training but biceps, forearms, and calves don’t. It’s like the extremities that people see but don’t grow easily for me. ALSO I don’t train forearms and calves enough but I should.
1234kingconan there’s your answer. You probably know this but the calf’s and forearms are very stubborn. I bet you if you put them first in your workouts and bumped up the frequency and volume you would see them grow like your chest & quads.
Starting gym on 7th September 2019.
Will be doing these for leg day 100%
thanks for the advice there
answer: genetics. Either you got them or you dont.
This guy is the perfect example. AMAZING calves..zero traps
be sure to not train any muscle group following that logic
@@roberthdg fr people use every excuse in the book and when they run out , they buy another book to pull excuses from instead of actually putting in the work.
@christianguzman
Lol exactly what I was thinking
Thank you for
I’m a beginner, and I’ve been training my calves + Thighs for the last 1.5-2 months and I’ve been getting great results! Since I play basketball for a passion at my school, and being 6’1” and still can’t touch rim,I’m happy to say that today I can finally touch rim! Give me a few more months and I’ll dunk !
KeepTryingKid did you notice your calves go a lot bigger?
7:11 checkn' to see whos mirin da hefers
Preston was probably born with huge calves, like my buddy who don't even workout. Doing 100 sets 5 x a week won't add 2 inches to your calves.. maybe if you gained 70lbs
genetics is a hell of a thing
Calves have to be worked at high volume, as they are used a lot in daily activities. I started training mine every other day, and I can tell a difference.
I read in Arnolds encyclopedia of bodybuilding to train calves everyday, unless they are sore. train em heavy. 4-8 reps. you walk everyday which uses your calves it doesn't make sense to train them light. try the heavy method it hasn't failed anyone I've recommend it to yet
I do heavy weight and high reps.
Patriot1790 what works for you works for you but Arnold explains his calves theory. I weigh 180, multiply that by 2 sins I walk on two calves obviously. That's 360lbs my calves are use to. Go on the smith machine (only good use for that thing anyways lol) I throw on 4 plates each side and do 4 to 6 reps while holding my calves in the up position to get an extra contraction. It sounds silly but this method has got me from twig calves to random people asking for advice. I do mix in volume but the only thing that ever got me was definition. Can't define your muscle if there isn't any muscle I think that's what many struggle on
thanks
Well done Don Jon
These calves are bigger than my future
Funny comment.
Is called "genetics" lol
jup
+Dejan Lazarevic yup! I used to be a ballet dancer, and my calves never got big. Now I've been trainer for a while to become a bodybuilder and my calves are still small, so yes, this guy has great calves' genetics! Lol
Ana Lozada the same with me, im working out since over 6 years now and almost every muscle is well developed, but i just cant bring out my claves!
+Ruben I didn't assume that was only calves. Obviously, genetics dictate everything in our bodies. But this video is only about calves, so we are just talking about a specific part of the body, that's all. Hence, the title n content of the video.
+Dejan Lazarevic we have the calves' curse! Lol 🙈😩😭
This was extremely helpful, 5/5
Ttank you mann

he looks like popaye but then with big calves

Wheelchair: let me introduce myself
good stuff
I thank God for my awesome calve genetics
John Doe I hate you :'(
Thank your parents
John Doe but you’re still ugly lmao
Mr Unknown
brutal
I'd say genetics are playing a huge role here. I think it's fair to assume he's training the rest of his body at least as hard, if not harder than his calves and yet his calves are way more developed than the rest of him.
wrong, he probably just walks in a way that relies solely on putting most of his weight on his toes. Genetics determine insertions period.
This video is very informative and beneficial for my goal of obtaining muscular legs!
Definitely chose the right candidate to show calf training. Massive calves whaow!
Why do people say it's genetics? They obviously don't train them hard enough or not as often as they should!?
Genetics have a big role though. Look at how low his Calf Muscles attach to his ankle. Same goes for forearms too.
+MrXelium Yh fair point. You still could get big calves tho. Could you? Would just be harder to get
finally someone who makes sense
exactly they are mostly people who use excuses. "he's juicing. genetics" everyone crying genetics on this video train calves completely wrong & to top it off end up giving up before any sort of progress is made whatsoever
But thats not true.. Ive been training my calves for about 4 years seriously, high intensety, with full range of motion, and a proper stretch at top and bottom. took me probably about 2 years to even notice a slight change. I kept trying to confuse my calves by mixing up the routine, yet still making sure to do the seated calf raises and the standing calf raises, but adding some bodyweightmovement-exercises and tip toeing with weight, and also some explosive movements.. in other words, i felt like i did ALL the necessary exercises needed, but i still feel like a have a looong way to go compared to my other bodyparts.. i even trained them 3 times a week, without skipping a single day. in total a see a slight improvement, but im definitly convinced that 80% is genetics and 20 % hard work. Cus if they dont grow much in 4 years they wont grow much in 8 either unless you dont work your upper body then maybe you will balance it by shrimping the upper part. Good luck to all with small calves, and god bless pants! :)
He has great calves but I wanna see what they looked like before. I'm under the impression this muscle is the most resistant to mass increase at this point!!!
Hey dude, sickkkk info, great vid! Question. After you’ve done all this, do you proceed to work out the rest of your legs, or do these 4 workouts just count as 1 leg day? Thanks dude!
Is it important to do the 4 different exercises? At my gym I’d only be able to do the standing calf press but if I do more sets and vary the weight and angles will I achieve the same results as I would if I used the machines?
Is it just me or does it look like this guy has a size 17 foot
Its you
work shoulder bro
Muito,muito bom seu treino!!
For everyone saying its genetics arnold Schwarzenegger explained his Calf workout perfectly, the calves carry your weight everyday, if you weigh 180 lbs then doing calf raises with weight under 100 pounds won't do much, you should be doing calf raises with weight close to your body weight, 180 lbs plus 180 extra pounds is 360 all together or 2x the persons body weight so that's the amount of weight someone who weighs 180 lbs should be holding wh8en doing Calf excercises, roughly 3×8. Heavy Weight, Low reps are optimal for building for mass.
If you don't have the genetics for big calves, no amount of training will give you big calves
