I told ya its fuckin brutal.
The day after hurts, but 2 days after i have a hard time walking up stairs or extending my legs fully for more than 10 seconds at a time. This is surely telling your body its time to grow.

Nelson's calf routine did wonders for me, and I was already doing about a 700lb. leg press.

Because there are a ton of good training ideas in there. But it becomes less valuable when people spread those routines for free
This calf training routine in his book is far from original. It appears many times in slight variation in Muscle Mag International Encyclopia of BB. I have seen this technique dozens of times before, however I would never of tried it if it weren't from all the hype on here. Works great btw.

There's a little more to it than that and it has to be done the right way to work. Also, a similar piece appeared in MuscleMag because I wrote it for them.
At any rate, I feel the world is a better place knowing that I only have to train calves 4 minutes a week. There's nothing that can be done that will produce any better results.

i read his article in musclemag and it worked for me. granted, they didnt blow up but they still went over the plateu they were in. not sure if i should say how to do the routine- it was on a $5.95 mag after all
You really need to read the information to understand why this works specifically for calves and isn't just a "high volume" training routine. The reason this routine is so effective isn't because it's just something new. This is the only routine you'll ever need again for your calves. There's really no reason to do anything else.
Essentially, calves are very limited in growth and are made up of different muscle fibers than any other body part which is why they need to trained in a specific manner in order to be stimulated. Most calve routies hit the acheiles tendon more than the calve muscles and only work on guys who already have good calves.

There's more to it than just banging out 100 reps. And I think that's the not the number he suggested either.

Nelson, do ya have a routine that works that well for arms? 17inch pipes don't look all that good on a 220lb frame!!!
JG1 said:
Yeah, there seems to be some discrepancy with the number of reps to do as this thread gets longer...lol. 100 or 75? Well, the original number that Nelson quoted in the very beginning was 75. That's the number I went by when I did it last week. I was pretty sore for a good 2-3 days afterwards.

I did not see results in my calves until I stumbled upon my own calf routine years ago. I would take 4-5 plates and do seated calf raises until I nearly shit, then I would have my partner remove one plate and do them until I nearly shit and etc... until I repped two plates until I shit.
The funny thing about calves (at least for me) is that once you build them they seem to stay built with little to no work.
