Thread: Calves are slightly sore today, first time

Never really happened before. I'm always looking for ways to bring up this lagging muscle group for myself. Don't know if that will mean growth necessarily but anything different is good IMO.

I was reading heavy duty by Mentzer and he suggested rest-pause sets in your calf routine to really fatigue the muscle. The workout was:

Leg extensions 10-12, 10-12, 10-12fail
Squats 10-12, 10-12, 10-12 max effort
Leg extension triple drop set

Stiff Leg Dead 8-10,8-10
Hamstring curl triple drop set

Standing barbell calf raise 12-15, 12-15, 12-15 max effort
Standing BB calf raise rest pause sets (failed at about 10, got 13-15) 3 sets

I work out at home with a cage so calf workout options are limited. Anybody else have any home calf workouts or techniques they use to mix it up?

I go high on my reps when I do calves. 25x, works for me.
