As most know my calves suck. I'm fortunate to have small joints, but they are still crappy. In my Ambien induced stupor last night I stumbled across another calf program that made sense to me. I'll spare you the hypothesis, but in theory it relates to progressive overload and continuous need for adaptation based on the calf muscles physiology.
The idea is you do bodyweight standing calf raises every single day with a 2/2/2 count and continuous tension. Start out doing 50 (if you can) calf raises every single day. The goal is to get up to 100. At a six second count per rep you're looking at a solid 10 minutes of training per day! According to the author, gains of an inch in a month are reasonable. I figure why not try it?! I've been training for over 20 years and I still sport 16 1/2 and 17" calves. I'll keep you guys updated.
