Calf Press
In terms of sheer bulk, calf exercises usually rank pretty low on the list. I'm throwing this one
in at number 10 because I want to provide options for all the
important muscles. A lot of bodybuilders focus solely on their upper body while neglecting lower body, but this really gives you a
disproportionate look.
None of the other workouts for muscle mass in this list (except possibly the clean) put any kind
of real strain on the calves. My favorite way to bulk up the calves
is a simple standing calf raise using weights on your shoulders.
This is a really simple
routine that should start giving you results within a few weeks.
Genetics can be to blame for small calf muscles, but I have
personally found that even that can be overcome through consistency
and the right workouts.
