Calves

[buster]

Hello all,

My Calves will not grow. I have done EVERYTHING. Low reps heavy weight, high reps, drop sets, all you can think of. Does anybody have any suggestions, things i can try to help my lagging body part?

Are you using any injectable gear? If so, you might want to consider isolated injections into that particular muscle group. This may give it the signal it needs in order to grow.

calves are one of the muscel group that are the hardes to get to grow you can hit calves two to three times a week. they will also take along time to get to start to grow so just keep plugging away you can however look up arnies way to calves Arnold S. they are great i uses them in my routine all the time. that is if you want diamond plates

not if he's using steroids bro....only igf is said to produce site growth, and there aint much to back this up either...

How are you working them ? Can you be more specific as to what exersizes you are performing. Are you failing ? Do they burn when you complete a set ? If they ain't burning or if you are not pumping them up then you are just tickling them.

Calves are one of those muscle groups that you must have patients with they take time to grow! Don't get discouraged and keep pounding away at them, they get a lot of besides any workout you give them remember that, thats why they are so tough to get growing because of their fiber make up, they have a super quick recovery time but even at that you shouldn't work them more then 3x a week.
Bump on this too, IFG-1 is the only one that could promote localized growth not steroids but as hayabusa stated theres not enough research to back it up, its all theory right now

You gotta hit em hard and hit em often! Try throwing in some jump rope and stay up on your toes. You can use this to pre-exhaust or to finish em'. Trust me, you'll feel the burn.

Be very careful when injecting calfs ! This may cause unbearable pain a long with swollen areas. I would suggest if you try this only start with a 1/4 cc. Some guys can't walk for days after injecting.
