Today was Quad/Ham and Calf Blitz day. I say Calf Blitz, cause I worked them twice this week. Fiiting them in again trying to spurt some growth. The results are good, here is my workout. If u concentrate on getting every last squeeze out of the reps, it is downright brutal. Also make sure u r using enough weight, the reps are just a guideline;
Standing Calf Raise Machine (6 supersets with diff. toe positions)
1st set - Toes Pointed Straight/Out/In (25/15/12)
2nd set - Toes Pointed Out/In/Straight (25/15/12)
3rd set - Toes Pointed In/Straight/Out (25/15/12)
4th/5th/6th set - Repeat the above one more time
Seated Calf Machine
1st set - Toes straight - 25
2nd set - Toes pointed out - 25
3rd set - Toes pointed in - 25
4th/5th/6th set - repeat
Donkey Calf Raises
6 sets, same format as seated calf raises
Reverse Calf Raises
6 sets of 30 - u can also do them between sets

24 sets for calves?!?
I superset seated and standing calf raise for 2 heavy sets and my calves are blown.
Have you tried heavy weight, lower sets?
I counted 36 sets if you count each drop set as a set to. Either way that seems like a awful lot. I could spend an hour doing that routine.
Thats why it's a blitz guys, come on u r not pansies, LOL!!!...I have been doing heavy sets less sets forever...now since I started doing this routine, I have seen unbelievable gains. And it only takes 20 minutes to complete, there is little rest between sets. Dont go too light however, u still want to feel a burn.
Yes, it's brutal, but trust me, u follow this routine once or twice a week for a month and u will be pleasantlky surprised.
I will do it twice more and then go back to doing less volume for a while. It's best to change up and shock guyz!
