"Strength is the product of struggle"

"Your greatest challenge isn't another person. Its the burning in your lungs and the burning in your legs, its the voice in your head screaming STOP you cant do anymore. But you dont listen. You push harder and you start to hear a the whisper of YOU CAN. You realize you are not the person you thought you were is no match for the person you are."

I do squats and hanglceans and play alot of bball (jump), but Im sure doing calfs in additions isnt a complete waste of time? Anyone else have thoughts on the rep range I should be doing. Are calves just like any other muscle and I should be doing low reps for strength, or is the action of calves in jumping different from other muscles to warranat a different rep range?
