 high-rep calves
i've tried loads of weight (and still do a heavy workout with low reps from time to time) but i find that my calves respond best to high reps. for my calves i'll pick one exercise per session and do 6-8 sets of 30-40 reps. i get a huge pump and have been able to add size on this program. every few workouts, to change things up a bit, i'll do several sets of 5-10 reps, holding each rep in the contracted position for 10 seconds - this really hurts... at the very least you can benefit by using this approach as a change-up from your regular workout. couldn't hurt.
