TweetAlright this has been my only problem for years and years and I need some help. I can get my quads,glutes,hams to grow all day but I've hit my calves with every thing I can think of. Anybody who has had calves as a problem area and then got them to grow what did you do? Do i need to do super heavy 2-3x a week? I only hit them once a week but heavy for 8 sets. My calf muscle is long, i measured from my foot to my knee is 21 inches.
