🚨 How to Get Bigger Calves👇

✅ Calves are one of the toughest body parts to develop. Part of the reason is they are fairly dependent on your genetics (to a higher degree than most muscles in my opinion) and they also get trained incorrectly. ✅ I’d like to think I have pretty decent calves so I’ll share 3 tips on what has helped me the most. Number 3 is the most crucial.

1. ✅ Frequency: Train your calves at least 2-3 times per week with 4-8 sets each workout. You can even do calves at the end of every single workout. Your calves are used to a heavy workload since you’ve been walking on them your whole life. They can handle the work and you won’t be overtraining them.

2. ✅ Form: Make sure you are actually using your calves when you do calf raises. Slow and controlled on the way down and pause for a second at the top. No bouncing or using momentum. Your calves are a small muscle and it’s very easy to cheat and take the emphasis off them by letting your ego get in the way.

3. ✅ **Huge Drop Sets**: This is the single technique that has helped my calves the most. On your last set of calf raises, choose a weight you can hit for 8-10 reps. Do a drop set and on the drop set count 3 second negatives and pause for a second at the top of each rep. Go to failure and then do another drop set doing the same thing. Do 3 or 4 of these drop sets with the 3 second negatives and 1 second pause at the top with each set to failure. The set should take a few minutes, your calves will be burning, and it will be the sickest pump you’ve ever gotten. Do this at least twice per week and your calves will grow.
