Tip For Getting Bigger Calves

Want a secret that will absolutely enhance your calf training? Because of the great deal of endurance that calf muscles naturally have, it's important to continually generate more and more tension on them with each succeeding set during your workout. Here's how...

In-between sets of calves, rock up and down on the balls of your feet to maintain tension on the calves in-between sets. In-between your sets of standing calf raises, while standing, rock up and down on your toes. You will experience a burning sensation.

In-between sets of seated calf raises, drop down into a squatting position, balancing yourself on the balls of your feet; it's OK to hold onto a bench or chair to stabilize you; then rock up and down on the balls of your feet from this squatting position.

In both cases, you'll maintain a high degree of tension in the calves during the rest periods. Because of this, the intensity of this calf routine gets very high.

WARNING: This is not a routine for the mild mannered! The good part is the fact that this is a very short calf routine that will create sufficient stress in the calf muscles, which will cause them to respond.
