Do you want a pair of chiseled calves that look great in shorts? Popeye-like trunks that flex and tense-up with every step? Calves are unique in that they require and can tolerate high levels of continuous stress to be fully developed. They also can cause the most amount of pain since the blood supply to your lower legs is limited and allows the lactic to pool longer than other bodyparts with better circulation. This routine is a one week, five day blast that can be used once every month if desired. It really is hard to overtrain the calves so we recommend blasting them as often as you can.
