I personally don't believe in working just one said bodypart to try and bring it up to snuff. Your whole body works as one. Obviously you want to hit your muscle groups being said. I would incorporate more full body and compound lifts and your entire body will respond. My personal favorite are overhead squats and superset with deadlifts. You will destroy everything.
My back gets bigger if I increase frequency of use much better than having a back day. I assume this is because if I do one back movement well every time I come in the gym I can manage more intensity than the trash work that gets done by the end of a back day.
Sorry to say it, but things like volume cable or band rows at the end of a session are just junk work that’s only better than nothing (I do it but I’m not fooling myself into believing it’s for growth). Almost more for maintenance of size and established work capacity. It’s the heavy rows and chin-ups, or strongman event work where I was really forced to work brutally hard that I have seen my back the biggest.
For something like calves, they’re biggest when I just do them consistently
Same for my biceps, and really everything. More quality volume either via increased frequency of stimulation or adding sets/reps.
