Thanks!.. all I did was full squats twice a week with sets of 5, trying to add more weight while mantaining good form. No leg ext, leg curls, hack squats, etc... just good old fashioned squats. I need to do more calf raises, obviously.. I just hate training calves.

I also ate a lot more... including a gallon of whole milk a day for a while. But the drawback is having to buy new pants! I wish my upper body grew that easily.

That's where you went wrong....buy shorts.

Your not alone, I hate training calves as well. I'm lucky though, because with my sport, basketball, you don't even really need big calves. Most NBA players' lower legs look as though they belong on a chicken.
Maybe I should try full squats though, I always hear good things about them. Now, I going just past parallel and have been getting decent results

I used to squat to parallel, but when I switched to full I got much better quad development. It takes time to adjust to the fuller range of motion, so don't push it. You won't be able to use the same weights for a while, but when you work your way back up you'll have better legs.

I like going deep, no more "did I go deep enough??". Just go down until your hams touch your calves. Use a weight you can control in good form.

unless its some kinda camera effect, it looks like your legs really exploded in size. good work.

No special camera effects, just setting the timer on my camera and running to stand on my chair

Thanks for the replies. I'd love to go do some squats right now, but I've got a sore throat. I want to beat you to that goal of 405 CoolColJ.
