My calves are my weakest area and i was wondering if i should work them out like any other body part (3-4 excerises w/ 3-4 sets) or should i do one excerise with 5 sets everday? Or what do you guys do to grow your calves? Thanks.

Hogg has the best training advice for calves. Do a search for everything he has to say on the topic. But, as Haggard said, a good start is the previous calves thread.

Bingo, heavy floor work wherein your calves are called in to stablize your body through the movement. There is definitely a correlation.

i forgot where i heard this, but they said to pick a weight that you could do 10 reps, then use that weight to do 70 reps, doing as many sets as needed to get 70 reps with minimal rest. you will feel it in the morning, trust me.

Right now, as unconventional as it may be, I'm experimenting with training calves everyday... I'll choose a different exercise each day and perform 3 sets of 10-15 reps all pyramided in weight...Then my last set will be the same weight as the 3rd set but I'll do two drop sets to failure...So far, so good

I would train calves 2-3x/wk. Either heavy/light, or using an HST routine specifically for calves.

Skipping rope does wonders. I haven't trained my calves in months up months, but they're getting nicer from all the rope I jump.
