Calf Training frequency

[thatwaslight]

How many sessions a week do you think i could get away with training calves?

[PeterDolan]

If they're weak, I'd do two or depending on what your split looks like, 5 a fort night

Used to train them bout twice a week being a smaller muscle group they tend to recover quicker. one day was max weight 10x10 and the nxt day was moderate weight 10x20

i pretty much never train calves and they pretty big if i do say so myself. strong body point i guess

[BIGKIWI]

once a week found the best but, heavy low reps and stretch them every rep to the best form possible

[Optimass]

once per week for me and do heavy slow eccentric reps - 8 - 12 rep set depending > then at the end of the slow reps I stand on tip toes and pulse 30% partial reps until I'm ready to puke.

THere is so many difrents opinions on this one. I would say train em if they not sore. I'm doing 3 per week atm and finding that fine. Getting better gains than i was on once or twice.

i find twice a week works for me,one session high reps,high sets,lighter weights, and the opposite for the second session. slow controled negatives hit them pretty well for me.

I think most people are different on this and have just have to find what works for you.

Personally I do them twice a week, heavy one day and high reps the other. It has worked wonders but like I said everybody is different.

I find that the calves can take an absolute hammering seeing as they carry your whole body weight with ease I mean if I stand on one foot my one calf is carrying nearly 100kg so both calves together require a shit load of weight to break the muscle and force it into growth .

I try train em at least twice a week although they have been a bit neglected of late grrr!

[frogie2001]

should be twice but I only get it out once

[thatwaslight]

have been training them 3 times a week with no probs so will see how it goes
