| GROW YOUR CALVES
Calves are one of the most stubborn if not the most stubborn bodyparts to increase in size, countless episodes of training, trying new methods, and what do you get, just painfull calves, well this routine will get some growth into those stubborn muscles, this is a very well used routine in russia, and its the most effective ive used, and here it is...
First donkey raises, the ones where you sit down and push the weight up with your calves, find a weight you can only do 5-7 reps with, now do those reps until falure, perfect form. Once youve done that rest for a few and i mean a FEW seconds, and push out 1-2 more or however many you can do, keep going like this until you get to 75 reps, never resting for more than 10 seconds in between.
This takes 4-6 minutes to finish, and in that time you will have hit the deep muscle belly of you calve, the slow twitch endurance fibers, and the explosive fast twitch fibers.
After this set is done stretch fully, for upto 10 minutes to help your calves recover, then repeat this time until you get to 45 reps.
These will make your calves grow, stop you from walking, and give you a good excuse to put your feet up and have a well earned rest.
