Based on these two points, the calf routine I’m going to recommend works as follows: • Do 2 calf workouts per week with at least one day in between each. • Do 6 sets per workout. • For the first set, point your toes forward. For the second, point them slightly out (about 20 degrees). For the third set, point them slightly inward. Repeat for the next 3 sets. • Use a 2-1-2 rep tempo: 2 seconds to full contraction, a slight pause while contracted, and 2 seconds to release. • Once you hit the top of your rep range with a given weight, add 10 pounds.
