Man I’ve had calf pain for a while now because of basketball and running. Having watched this video I now know I should be able to power through the pain and that at some point, the pain should stop. Thanks Stan !
People who don’t understand dedication will never get ahead of us in life, leave em in the past if they don’t wanna follow you cause they just holding you back
I actually just finished the same challenge! Me and my friend trained calves every day in november and the calves grew 2cm for both of us. The difference is that we did it in the gym with different calf machines and we raised the weight a couple of times. 4 sets to failiure (between 20-30 reps) for the First 20 days and 6 sets the last 10 days. We really liked the challenge believe it or not. We became a lot stronger and at least with a pump we can se a clear difference in size than before we started!
To grow your calves you need to work with more then your body weight and work until failure. Don't do sets of 25, 50, or 100. Work until you can't anymore. The way you trained is almost like a endurance training. I like to do calf raises on the leg press machine with 360 pounds on the sled, and I don't count the reps, I just keep going until failure. I've manage to get my calves to 42cm and I started going to the gym in mid October 2021.
im super tall, so my calves are tiny, but ive found that doing extremely high rep sets is not the way to grow them. I used to do around 5-6 hundred a week, and the stayed the same size for over half a year. one month ago i started doing 7-12 rep sets, focusing on progressive overload with the weights, and ive seen more progress in one month than i did in half a year.
I have the same height issue… I’ve been short my whole life and started to grow from 5’6 to 6’1 in about 1.5 years, so my calves went from huge because I was so smol, to stretched out and smol because I didn’t adapt to myself growing
Im just started legs what would you recommend?? atm im doing at home workouts so how heavy should i have the weights in my hand? As heavy as possible? Thanks
Man you re such an inspiration, it's amazing to see how your passion got you into succeeding as a youtuber and as an athlete, and how you care about your dear people. Much respect
Ayee Stan, weighted single leg calf raises is the way to go. It also helps to know the insertion points of the Soleus and Gastrocnemius muscles. And how to better activate each of them to optimize gains. Also switch up the position of the foot and the angle it faces. Single leg calf raises with a 25lb dumbbell in my hand has had amazing results for my calves. 😁 Great video as always. Smesh liek 👍
@@nickpapen4260 The angle at which you place your foot could have and impact on mind muscle connection. And different angles at which the muscle is activated. Just like in pushups, pullups, squats, etc.
@@seanmccusker546 True but at pushups Close stance biases triceps, normal grip is mainly chest, with pullups normal grip is mostly lats and underhand grip biased biceps while with calf raises it doesnt really bais a part of the calf. The only thing you cant do is sit of stand and als you can do tibia raises.
@@nickpapen4260 The Gastrocnemius has two heads. A medial, and lateral head. Thus making it more efficient to target them in different ways. On calf raises with toes pointed in, the muscle activity of the outer calves is significantly greater than the inner head. Just as, with calf raises with toes pointed out, the muscle activity of the inner calf head is greater than the outer head.
Hey Browney. I love your challenge videos, keep up the good work. I just wanted to tell you, if you don’t already know, taking a magnesium citrate supplement will definitely help your cramps and improve muscle function in general. Depending on how active you are, you’ll need between 250-400 mg of magnesium citrate a day to alleviate the cramping. I apologize if you don’t find this useful, but I just felt a need to tell you.
For calves go till failure and make sure to have so much load that you fail before the first 12-15 reps then reduce reps to 5-10.. do progressive overload aggressively but while starting make sure to go light and improve till satisfactory and then do above
Great video, though you might see more gains if you added weight. The calves are actually really strong muscles, I have seen big gains using 205 on my back.
I think that, in order to grow your calves, you'd need to add weights to the workouts. Doing so many calf raises with no weight will make them stronger, but not bigger. Loved the vid, though!
Hey Browney musscle grow isn't only proress (it is more bodybilding progress, than atletic). Calfs are involeved in jummping, sprintg and some other things that i dont know. You probably should test your self in 30m sprints and lenght jups (in Serbina "skok u dalj"). How ever you did great job and now you can make video about basic condition test (push ups, pull ups, sprints 30m and 100m, lenght jump and 5km running, maybe one or two exercises more I dont know) P. S. Sorry on my spelling if it is bad Eng is my 2nd language P. S. 2 This test is my sugestion, not "must do" thing. And you and your crue are doing great job
I have a flat feet since i’m kid and the doctor told me to do this exercise that you are doing and i hate it, but after i saw this video you really inspired me and i’m doing 500 a day! I really appreciate you ❤
I did weighted calf machine 30 days. Each day increased weight . Full range of motion. I am seeing new muscles and harder muscles. 90 days I'll see size increases
@TheVloneDon Yeah my bad, they are involved, but you cannot just improve your vertical by training calves, jumping requires a lot of muscles working together, if you could improve your vertical by training calves literally everybody would only train calves
7 day challenge: Leg Press (expecially the upside down one) Calf Raise - put your toes towards the bottom, and allow the heel to strech past the machine to target the shin/tibialis as well. Seated Leg Curl Calf Raise - Better than w/ dumbbells if this machine can be adjusted. Crazy workout for the soleus, weights easily adjustabled. 2 second squeeze at both ends of the movement Soleus & Tibialis will add to the overall volume and definition
A trick to wider calves is to keep your knees bent when doing calf raises. It helps to build your soleus muscle which is under your gastrocnemius calf muscle
You need progressive overload for them to grow. Use the barbell to do standing calf raises, increase the weight every week. Use dumbbell and do one leg at time to add variation so that it won't be as boring. Even carry each other to do donkey calf raises.
Progressive overload barely makes a difference for calve growth. Form and execution are more important. In this video you saw them raising their calves too fast so there was not too much tension. If you want quick calve growth you should consider doing a more intense leg-focused sport like football, cycling or running - in these sports you put a lot of intensity on the calves due to the quick manouvres you make.
When I work on my calves to get them larger I found that doing a squat and holding it worked much better for results and strength than calve raises, I also think held squats are easier because you don’t need a ledge you just need to hold a squat.
Can you please make a video challenge for splits, like you challenge someone who is very inflexible to do front split in a month, cause I've been trying for a year and I'm not making any progress so maybe you'll have a useful tips, well thank you for posting the dedication is incredible and inspiring 😊
To grow calves you need to do progressive overload. It is still a tough muscle to grow but just doing a million calf raises isn't going to do much. It may do more if you do singles and don't hold onto anything for balance.
I used to do 500lbs on the standing calve raise machine 4x12 then transition to seated calve raises with 180lbs until muscle failure. I did this for a couple of years. Calves are stubborn to grow and u need extra weight to grow them.
I can barely finish 2 sets of calves raises before I become overwhelmed with the sudden urge to take a s**t and they did 300 for 30 days, good job gents👏🏾🇿🇦
High weight, high reps, and a daily prayer. Only way to make these bastards grow. I like doing calf raises with the trap bar. 200-220 kg every set to failure for no specific number of reps for as many sets as possible. I do them twice a week.
One time I woke up with severe calf pain and as I touched my calf, I could feel it move. I then looked at it and the muscles were like waves. So fucking freaky. And extremely painful. My damn calf was sore for the next 4 days. And I was an active runner during before the cramp. Absolutely blows my mind that I was sore for so long after.
Try to eat more Banana and food with a lot of potassium , ir really works, I always had that pain, but with more Potassium it’s been 5 days without the pain
They should do sit- ups for 30 days or plank for 30 days for an hour or so I really want to see that and. I think we all want to see that btw love your guys video keeps me want to work even harder at working out
Muscle growth takes over 6 weeks for structural changes to appear so you wont notice much difference until that point However you will have experienced functional changes after 4 weeks which will aren’t likely to notice
Calves are probably my favorite muscles to exercise. I've gotten most of my gains with them by walking near daily for several years, but I start using the calf press machine at my gym back in august and I'm pretty close to getting the calf split.
These muscles are as toned as they can be due to you walking every day. The best you can do to exercise them is to gain weight and then over time they will grow because they will have to move heavier loads on a constant basis. I had massive calves when I was chubbier and sprinting. Downsized but kept the calf size and then lost it when I changed sports.
What if you bulk up and everything gets thicker or fat but you’re calves stay skinny?? I don’t get it. I use to be on mass gainer protein shake and i was getting thicker but my dam calves still wasn’t getting thicker so i looked so disproportionate
@@vvs1855 if you have high tendon insertions for your calves, you can still train them and they will grow, but their growth will be hampered by those type of insertions. Those are good genetics for running and bad for bodybuilding. It's the equivalent of being able to fit 3+ fingers between your bicep and elbow when you flex. No matter how strong you are, your arm will look less full.
I've been doing this challenge for 134 days with 100+ calf raises every day. I haven't noticed even a tiny bit of growth except calves became leaner and I can do about 600+ without stopping but it takes about 30m+
Just load the exercise with additional weight and then do one leg raises and you will take less time and more likely, develop stronger and larger calves
I tried a lot of different things to get my calves to grow and I found that a combo of heavy lifting, explosive movements and high frequency is what worked best. I also tried to do both standing and seated raises. When I was doing only high frequency I barely noticed any change, but with the varied approach I gain at least 2-3 inches (granted over 6-8 months time). What's also odd is during covid and not working out nearly as much my calves have probably atrophied the least of all my body parts which I found odd.
Hey sweet vid! Ive been doing this challenge for like 15 days and then I saw this! I also was inspired to do the push-up challenge that you did! Thanks so much for Inspiring me!!
That would be a big beginner mistake no point of doing it its time consuming Train every part of your body Get some info from Jeff cavaliere and Greg Doucette. Hope it helps, thanks.
@@peyton6528 muscles need to be sour the next day so that it will start building Doing everyday you will get used to it and the calf doesn't grow further Do it between interval days 3-2 times a week during leg days My workout: Monday: chest,triceps Tuesday: back,forearm,biceps Wednessday: shoulder,legs,abs Repeat the same above 3 days for Thursday,Friday,Saturday Sunday: rest day I also include cardio(HIIT) 4 times a week Keep grinding brah
I actually enjoy calf raises and I do them when I’m bored, which is all the time. And sometimes I don’t even notice that I’m doing them and my friends ask me what I’m doing
You should have done weighted calf raises with a weight that only allowed you to do like 20 and single leg calf raises with weighs as well, keeping the reps bellow 20 and adding more weight and range of motion
Well, it's their second language. I'm Norwegian, and I find myself correcting my friends when they pronounce the silent letters in words like salmon, bomb, climb, sword, etc. The same goes for foreigners who pronounce the silent letters in Norwegian. Not everyone has a good ear for phonetics, I guess.
I did 1000 of them with 10 sets of 100 reps with 2 minute intervals in between. The day after was fine, I actually hooped all day with no pain. The next day, which is today is very painful. I was limping all day at school lol
@@ahmedchahid9105 At the moment, my calves now only are sore when I flex them. They should be close to being healed tomorrow, which means it takes around 3 days to heal from the soreness. Still would rather do it at the gym where you only do 3 sets of 15 when upping the weights. Would not recommend doing this, especially if you do any sort of sports requiring your legs. If you would like to do calf raises, please do it on a leg machine with only a few sets, it only takes a day to heal. Aswell as giving better results in terms of your calf growth. Have a nice day!
I"ve had really thin calves most my life. I got into walking 20,000 steps a day a year a go. Half of those I was using an a treadmill with a raised elevation. That really hit my calves and after a year of that my calves actually look pretty normal. Not bulging or anything, but don't stand out and weird looking. hahaha.

Bro you are a good freestyler for football can we see some crazy staff
An amazing example of how important Progressive overload and training till failure is.
I've been doing this challenge for 134 days with 100+ calf raises every day. I haven't noticed even a tiny bit of growth except calves became leaner and I can do about 600+ without stopping but it takes about 30m+
Just load the exercise with additional weight and then do one leg raises and you will take less time and more likely, develop stronger and larger calves
You need to overload or do greater than body weight. You’re just doing endurance training essentially
Wear a backpack when you’re doing them. I use like a 20 pound one and I’ve seen results pretty quickly
Damn so I guess even with hundreds reps, it won't do shit for my calves. Gotta add weight damn lol.
@@peacebewu I do 15000 steps a day, do you think I have huge feet
I tried a lot of different things to get my calves to grow and I found that a combo of heavy lifting, explosive movements and high frequency is what worked best. I also tried to do both standing and seated raises. When I was doing only high frequency I barely noticed any change, but with the varied approach I gain at least 2-3 inches (granted over 6-8 months time). What's also odd is during covid and not working out nearly as much my calves have probably atrophied the least of all my body parts which I found odd.
3 inches in 6-8 months bruuuuh, you dont lie ? ;D 3 inches is a lot even for arms in a year
How was your workout or What you would do to replicate that?
Hey sweet vid! Ive been doing this challenge for like 15 days and then I saw this! I also was inspired to do the push-up challenge that you did! Thanks so much for Inspiring me!!
Keep going bro!

Zeer interessante video 🇳🇱. Groeten uit🇧🇪
I’m doing this challenge. I’m on day three and I’m doing it everyday
Pppp
Did you do it?🔥
@@johannes01 yes I did
@@joshuapoddo51 and are you happy with the results?
Jesus Christ died for your ssssiiinnnssss
I've found if I'm sore from the gym going lap swimming the pain often goes away. Similar to walking out the pain I think.
Im pretty unfit and need to work on my calves after and injury, this is so helpful I’m doing 200 a day for 30 days
That would be a big beginner mistake no point of doing it its time consuming
Train every part of your body
Get some info from Jeff cavaliere and Greg Doucette. Hope it helps, thanks.
@@Deoxys_da2 My calf’s completely stopped hurting after the second day, they haven’t hurt since and I’ve been doing it in proper form everyday…
@@peyton6528 muscles need to be sour the next day so that it will start building
Doing everyday you will get used to it and the calf doesn't grow further
Do it between interval days 3-2 times a week during leg days
My workout:
Monday: chest,triceps
Tuesday: back,forearm,biceps
Wednessday: shoulder,legs,abs
Repeat the same above 3 days for Thursday,Friday,Saturday
Sunday: rest day
I also include cardio(HIIT) 4 times a week
Keep grinding brah

when my gym bros tell me its leg day and i forgot so i wasnt expecting it......
I actually enjoy calf raises and I do them when I’m bored, which is all the time. And sometimes I don’t even notice that I’m doing them and my friends ask me what I’m doing
Next video: “I trained calves in a cold shower and doing 100 push ups everyday for 30 days”
This inspired me to do my own 1 week calf raise challenge! (I have posted it on my channel.)
Congrats to everyone who is early and found this comment 🥳
aye yo fam
Stop
@@Night_Fury_httyd yeah
Bro how are you everywhere????
Ok then
You should have done weighted calf raises with a weight that only allowed you to do like 20 and single leg calf raises with weighs as well, keeping the reps bellow 20 and adding more weight and range of motion
jorg is a mood
It's so cute how they pronounce the L in calves. Unless I've just been saying it wrong my whole life ahaha
Well, it's their second language. I'm Norwegian, and I find myself correcting my friends when they pronounce the silent letters in words like salmon, bomb, climb, sword, etc. The same goes for foreigners who pronounce the silent letters in Norwegian. Not everyone has a good ear for phonetics, I guess.
Worst exercise is Bulgarian split squats
I did 1000 of them with 10 sets of 100 reps with 2 minute intervals in between. The day after was fine, I actually hooped all day with no pain. The next day, which is today is very painful. I was limping all day at school lol
Can you go back to give an update please
@@ahmedchahid9105 At the moment, my calves now only are sore when I flex them. They should be close to being healed tomorrow, which means it takes around 3 days to heal from the soreness. Still would rather do it at the gym where you only do 3 sets of 15 when upping the weights. Would not recommend doing this, especially if you do any sort of sports requiring your legs. If you would like to do calf raises, please do it on a leg machine with only a few sets, it only takes a day to heal. Aswell as giving better results in terms of your calf growth. Have a nice day!
@@andrewr.9281 in case I don't have access to gym equipments how many reps would you recommend of bodyweight calf raises?
@@ahmedchahid9105 I would just go until you feel a significant burn, just make sure not to over do it.
@@andrewr.9281 I usually go up to 150 and then I just can't move but I know that I can still tolerate the burn I just can't do the move anymore
I love how sten just started speaking dutch
Nederlandse vertaling: kolonisatie
Browneys front camera is broken and my back camera is broken
Jorg is depressed the whole video
I did something similar, and like the four of you, my calves didn't really even grow 😂😅
diet, caloric surplus
Ik vind het altijd wel grapig als iemand ineens Nederlanders praat in jou video's 🤣
And by the way stan and argen you make vids and it makes me think in my mind doing a 90 day challenge with you
Sten is now known as swole man
Jorg is now known the beast
Arjen is now known as our motivation
I do around 600 calf raises every leg day, but I train legs 2 times a week. So I don't have to do it every single day.
u ll have a great endurance in them
@@abdelhakwinston6200 yeah my endurance is pretty good. But I have to say my form isn't always perfect and I do them all in probably 3 or 4 sets.
waste of time, add weight to do 20 max in 4-6 sets
@@JanKowalski-bj7ob thank you. I know that now and have in fact stopped wasting my time. 😅
here I'm righting down what I'm actually gonna do💀 0:27
Gunna do a doick
congrats to Everyone who is early and found this comment”
Brownie I did cross country, and it really helps with your calves
I did this for myself. 300 a day. I have never seen a better improvement on my body
I'm 14 doing 200 calves everyday today being day 16 i can run faster, jump +3 inches and the muscle soreness was only for first 5 days
I'm 5 doing 300 calves goml kid

First comment ❤️❤️
Congrats!!
just say you are dutch
He isnt he talked german
No in english
I"ve had really thin calves most my life. I got into walking 20,000 steps a day a year a go. Half of those I was using an a treadmill with a raised elevation. That really hit my calves and after a year of that my calves actually look pretty normal. Not bulging or anything, but don't stand out and weird looking. hahaha.
damn!!!! congrats on 3 mil!!!!!!! lov u browney boy (not in a sus way)
