I completely agree with that.cappo5150 said:standing calf raises

I couldnt get shit for gains on my calves for a long time. I ended up changing two things:
- Went much heavier than I thought I could go.
- Held it at the top everytime.
The seated raises didnt work for me, at all. Doing calves on a leg press didnt do much either. Just the heavy standing raises.
Good luck.
Sh*t!! Now i understand why i havent been able to get any mass on my calves. I have mainly been doing seated calf raises. Oh well, time for a switch!du510 said:I completely agree with that.

i was doing both, but more seated calf raise sets than standing. I guess i shall have to reverse the order from now on. Or is it suggested to keep the number of sets for both equal??dg806 said:You still should incorporate some seated calf into your routine.
Depends on what needs more work? Just for size I would do more standing. As you progress, you may need to add in more seated.BulkMeUp said:i was doing both, but more seated calf raise sets than standing. I guess i shall have to reverse the order from now on.
