how often do you guys train calves

[t3c]

I've never trained calves before and now they are an important part of my training. How often can i train them? How often do you guys train calves?

2x / week

word to ya motha

once, sometimes twice a week.

i do once a week, but i absolutely destroy them, i just do multiple sets, no set amount of reps, and just kill em on seated toe raises. i got this nice little peak in the middle of em now, looks kinda rowdy.

3.5x/week....like everything else. It seems to work pretty well. Haha just meaured my calves for first time after starting this HST cycle. They went from 15 to 15.25 inches after almost 3 weeks! Maybe finally they'll stop sucking so heavily.

I actually notice a considerable difference in size when i train them 4 days/week. just 3 sets, no extreme weight. perfect, slow reps til failure. make sure youre feeling it.

for me, i feel that frequency is key for calf size. After completing army basic training, my calves became huge. every single day consisted of either miles of running, or miles of road marching. that should tell you something---->(frequency)

2x...one time is hard and heavy and the other is just to do them.

as of right now I don't do direct calf work, if thats what you mean. Undoubtably they do receive indirect stimulation though

just stand on your toes when you deadlift, squat, shrug etc.

2x a week, alternate heavy, moderate, light weight. High reps, low reps. Full ROM. Et cetera.
