* Best mass-builder for Calves *

[MonStar1023]

Whatd you think has helped your calves out the most?

Single-legged calf raises using drop sets.

 

[The mann]

for me standing calf raises(heavy 6-8 reps)...

well....I didn't vote because stanging and sitting calve raises are for two different parts of the calve. Since I'm a bodybuilder I need both to stay proportional.

i usually do seated calf raises then donkey, they are great (donkey) if you do them with strict form

peace

Volume

For me the machine was never as important as the volume. Try 2 machines each time you do calves and hit calves every other workout.

ballast...

Agreed 100% bro.

I feel I get the best pump, full ROM and a good hold on my toes by doing the 45-degree sled. I haven't been able to get all 3 of the above from another exercise.

Usually though, I go superset of 45-degree sled & seated calf raises, then pump out a few sets of standing. Every other week I switch and do standing first, then the superset.

Unfortunately, my calves are my worst bodypart, so I'm hitting them 2-3x/week and am starting to notice improvement.

genetics

standing calf raises with static holds for a few secs seem to work for me

HEAVY weight is the most important factor for calves IMHO
