personally,

the only way to get my calves to grow is use a variety rep ranges and weights. i do a few really heavy sets, and then i train to failure with a medium weight and rep number.

but....... then a work up a crap.. LoL!

high reps usually do the trick for me...
standing calf raise 1-2 sets x 20-25 reps
seated calf raise 1-2 sets x 20-25 reps
and i sumtimes do
leg press calf raise 1-2 sets x 20-25 reps
sumtimes i also like to incorporate drop sets into that routine too.it usually gets them burning nicely for me.and once your done your calf workout and your calves are really fried, i sumtimes take one of the stability/balance boards and try to stand on that. i don't think i've ever done it before but its pretty painful for me. especially when ur trying to stand on ur toes.

I recently found the best way to get my calves to burn. I dont know what you guys will have to say about this but with the seated calf raise I like to squeeze my calf as hard as i can at the top for a few seconds. That burns like no other. Half the time I am affraid I am not going to be able to rerack the simple calf raise machine lol. I think the trick is sqeeze the calf.

I usually do about 3 sets of 2 exercises, high reps, followed by two sets of just one exercise, super heavy, maybe 2-3 complete reps then partials to failure...30-60 sec rest between partial sets

Try some heavy work, light work, and plyometrics. See which one gives the best results and focus on it.
