Need help with my calves

[AlmightyGL]

im sure everyones heard the term prison build. it comes from extended stays in a 9x12 cell where ur limited to badically push ups and dips. only leg exercise really is squats obviously with no weights. ive got a big upper body and broad shoulders my quads are pretty big but my calves suffered over the years. are there any serious calve workouts i can utilize to get myself preportioned again?

Find the frequency that works for you, check out some John Meadows vids on YT; he has a few calves related videos that are pretty good.

Calves are hard for me also ive been working on them but it just takes time.

The stair master walk on your tippy toes.

 

[AlmightyGL]

ill try that. so far the only thing that really makes them burn is when i do raises on the squat rack. but its like they just wont grow. maybe i should start pinning them every day and get em all knotted up lol

 

[Bigmurph6]

Knowing my luck I would fall off and get injured on a stairmaster lol

To me I can workout my calves and they dont grow. Cardio is what make mine get bigger. As stated before stairmaster or running at an incline.

 

[AlmightyGL]

most of my cardio is sprawls and navy seals

My calves grew best doing them Mon, Wed, Fri. Each day I would choose a different calf machine. I would do 9 total sets, 3 sets toes outward, 3 sets toes inward, 3 sets toes straight ahead. Slow controlled reps. None of that bouncing shit. They grew fastest when I was abusing gear with high doses. Just saying, but not recommending high doses.

i always release slow and explode out. but ill try slow both ways and see wat happens

 

[johnjuanb1]

I have predominantly slow twitch muscle fibers. Explosive movements just lead to injuries for me. If you have a lot of fast twitch fibers then explosive style training is best.
