    Calf Exercises

    I only have two calf exercises to rotate between in my blast because there really aren't many calf exercises to do. I have Calf Raises on the Leg Press, and standing Calf Raises and my gym has no other calf exercises what so ever so I dont know what to do about it. Are there any other calf exercise suggestions guys? or should I simply rotate between these two exercises only?

    thx

    Possibly do standing calf raises with the squat bar and stand on a box to stretch your calves at the bottom. Besides that I realy do not know what elese to tell you.

        Donkeys with your partner sitting on you adding weight.

            Gay? I get two ladies to sit on my back when I do them. They love it...they ask for a ride every damn workout.

                Yes that would be in a way like doing standing calf raises, damn man you are kind of in a tough situation. Doing the donkey calf raises with your partner sitting on your back. Man who cares if it looks gay, you want to get freaky looking in muscle mass, screw everybody else.

                  The only problem is that you need the blood to flow to your calves - not to your wedding tackle - so that will take some mastering...

                    I have no partner and i KNOW FOR A FACT no one in my gym is going to want to ride on me, and besides isnt that the same as a leg press calf raise?

                          Try calf raises in a hackslide... If your gym got one that is.

                            agree with the hack press, you can also do them if you have different kind of leg presses, put plates under a smythe and do standing calf raises but the most hardcore thing you can do is find the absolutely most flaming gay guy at your gym and get him to jump up on your back and do donkey calf raises with him holding on tight and yelling "give me one more rep stud"---that truly separates the mice from the men. How bad do you want big calves?
