To anyone wanting to try this, make a few changes. #1 do it every other day. #2 every 4 days add weight. Dumbells, hold books, hold milk jugs etc…. Keep upping the weight every 4 days. Nothing insane, but maybe 2-5lbs every 4 days. #3 Eat an extra 200 calories of protein. Nothing insane, just a wee bit more protein to aid in muscle building. #4 keep in mind that calves are one of the hardest muscles to increase their size. Many bodybuilders have calf implants or tiny calves. I used to do calf raises as a kid and would grab the headboard of the lower bunk of my Brothers solid wood ( real wood, not wood shavings compressed into a woodlike substance ) and would lift it up and down with calf raises. No clue why I used to do this as I was not a bodybuilder but did run track. My calves are kinda great, guess years of doing this for no reason other than it freaked my brothers out paid off.
It is common knowledge that when you become a dad your calves automatically transform. It is a ritual, a passage to fatherhood... Glad you did some calf raises and well deserved calves young man

um, you can gain a good bit of muscle in 30 days. But not the way you did it. You did very high reps which builds endurance. To add muscle mass you need to add weight and be unable to continue the set in the 8-12 rep range. Also you were super inadequate on rest days. You should have at least 24hrs between workouts, maybe more. working out tears the muscle fibers. You get stronger and grown muscle when it recovers, not when you are working it. Inadequate recovery means you are just continually breaking down over and over and not allowing it build and get stronger. Not hating. That was a lot of hard work and dedication and was probably a great stress reliever with the new little one. But you could have probably made a lot more progress with more rest and reps in the right ranges if you wanted to add some muscle. All you really did was toughen what was already there with those super high rep sets. and did not build much because you kept tearing it apart.
@@Meow-eh8qs since your calves are used to your own body weight times thousands of steps taken each day just by walking, you need to do calf workouts with weight higher than your body weight to shock them into growing. Ever notice why heavy set ppl have huge ass legs and calves? This is why.

@@DoDgeSwaG Do you know of a good way to add weight with dumbbells? I tried holding them to my side while doing calf raises on stairs but I couldn’t keep my balance.
Small tip that's gonna make a big difference: find an elevation. One of the most important components to calf growth is the stretch under tension, you can't get that on a flat surface. Try it out, on an elevation do single-leg calf raises, pause at the top, and slowly go down under the parallel until you feel the stretch, pause for 2 seconds. Repeat.
What do you mean by under the parallel. Sorry i just can’t get the image in my head😅 Are we supposed to not put our foot all the way to the ground once we go down?
Absolutely agreed. Go for negatives. On the flat surface, what you have been exercising was the Achilles mainly, not the calves. But kudos for persistence - don't lose it!
@@Lunogic No no, so basically you find a stair step (or something similar), and stand on it with only the ball of your foot (your heel isn't touching anything) and then go all the way up, hold 1 second, and then down as far as you can (without the ball of your foot lifting from the stair step), feeling the stretch, holding for 2 seconds.
you might of got better results working them out every other day ,you have to have a rest days for them to grow.same with any muscle.would of got better results.i am surpised you have not gained two inches on your on your toes with all thoses raises.i bet you can now look over the neigbours fench

As a cross country runner, I too often do calf raises. It's not to get more muscle per say, but rather like you said, to get "stronger". By doing high rep and low weight you build more lean muscle. Not bulking up, but better for actual use, like walking running etc. Basically, "you've got it where it counts". Good job!

@@samvelbadalyan I don’t do it anymore, only when I go to the gym. I’m not really sure when you’ll see results. I was young and just did them when I was bored so I didn’t really see the progress until people started to tell me I had nice legs lol. My advice to you is don’t think about the end result. Just start and know you’ll make progress by committing to the challenge and results will come (this video is an example)
I just did something similar. Wife and I just had our first child 5 days ago. We live in a small town that does not deliver babies so we were prompted to stay in a hotel in the city 2 weeks before the due date. Similar situation during the pandemic. I was doing a ton of body weight exercises. Calf raises being one of them. Cheers and congrats!
Small tip, for more gains while only doing body weight, put the ball of your foot and toes on a raised object, like a stair step or similar, allowing your heel to drop below the level of your toes, increasing the travel distance.
I actually really appreciate you doing this because due to 20+ years of rheumatoid arthritis, most of the left side of my body is slightly atrophied. I'm most self conscious of my left calf since my left ankle developed limited range of motion earlier on, therefore, placing a lot of weight on my right side. As of late, I've been really trying to workout more and trying to strengthen the weaker side of my body. It's been years since I've last seen a physical therapist and I'm pretty excited about an upcoming appointment I have with a PT so I can discuss some exercises I can do to gain back more flexibility in my joints and strength back into my muscles. This video gives me hope!
I've always had unrealistic expectations on how much mass I thought I should gain from exercising, so i lost motivation to work out, but this for some reason stuck with me, I'll take this to heart and try to take my time with it, and not give up after not seeing insane results after a week lol.
Y'all gotta correct me if I'm wrong, don't want misinformation spreading around. I think it's the crazy number of reps that made them lean rather than bulky. It's why the legs of marathon runners are more skinny than sprinters. What you have now are legs made for endurance (lean lasting machines) rather than bursts of power (giant springs). For bulk, you'd have to do less reps and with more strain, e.g. weights.
This exercise is very simple and good for calves, I also recommend doing it once on one leg and then on the other. Overall a nice video, I appreciate the work and good luck in further training.
i see so many people load up the calf raise machine but honestly if you just put 2 25 plates on and go all the way down and up slow, they will grow. It's just like the 4 way neck machine. put 5-10 lbs on and go slow and burn it out. They will grow.
I was doing 1000 calf raises per day for a week and then i got into quarantine and after i got really bored of it and dropped but in that first week that i've been doing it i've seen a huge change in my vert, i recomend it to all people that want to raise their vert or just have more muscular calfs to do it
No way, I'm doing the same thing! Hopefully I'll upload it soon. Great job man, thanks for sharing. *And yes, cleaning teeth and calf raises are a next-level hack I thoroughly recommend...
For better results, do your raises on a stair with heel not touching the stair, and at each raise, count "One, two", then get back down and stop before you do another one. Two to four weeks for changes in calf size.
HALF AN INCH!!? THATS HUGE!! LIKE GENUINELY THATS HUMONGOUS! ANYONE WOULD BE SATISFIED IF NOT EXTREMELY EXCITED ABOUT THAT! LIKE HONESTLY THATS AWESOME!
Some advice, walking on your tip toes puts some pressure on your calves and they get worked more, reason why people with alot of weight have massive calves, they have lots of pressure on their calves due to the weight could also be fat in the calves tho
Reason fat people often have big calves is because 1) they carry around a lot of weight everytime they walk and 2) they are fat so fat is stored in their calves as well. People that have good or even decent calf genetic will end up having good to decent calves if they lose the weight to a respectable number. If they do not have good genetics for them they will have chicken legs because calves are highly genetic
Tips for bigger calves: 1- exercise every other day. You should give your muscles at least 48h rest time to recover. 2 - Keep doing from 6 to 15 repetitions, 3 to 4 sets and 1 minute rest (max) between sets ( that's where hypertrophy works better) 3 - 15+ reps would be more focused in resistence. Instead of adding more reps you should add more weight once you find easy to reach 15 reps. Try doing both legs, one leg, both legs while holding weights, one leg + weights. If you don't have dumbbells use a backpack full of books.
half an inch in a month is spectacular, give yourself some credit you did great!!! not to mention the vascularity which makes them appear to look bigger than they are
If you decide to do this, start off small at first because I jumped straight into it and did 200 calf raises yesterday and I woke up and I can’t even walk🤣😭

When your calves are 2 times smaller than his and he dares calling them small...
stickman?
@@tappajaav yes :(
@@LaChevreOnline i feel u
@@tappajaav His calves are normal not bad
@@omarima8344 2x smaller than the ones shown here are TINY.
I just did something similar. Wife and I just had our first child 5 days ago. We live in a small town that does not deliver babies so we were prompted to stay in a hotel in the city 2 weeks before the due date. Similar situation during the pandemic. I was doing a ton of body weight exercises. Calf raises being one of them. Cheers and congrats!
Damn those Storks are bureaucratic as hell aren't they? Was your baby delivered fine onto your porch?
Im happy for you , being so consistent with it. Winning that many battleship games for the team , we are all proud of you.
Small tip, for more gains while only doing body weight, put the ball of your foot and toes on a raised object, like a stair step or similar, allowing your heel to drop below the level of your toes, increasing the travel distance.
people will train there biceps for years consistently for them to grow but won’t try the same with calves. Good job man
Half an inch in a month isnt to bad, imagine the results after a year
I think half an inch is the pump
@@username8644 It is tbh
@@dietcocaina u may be right, but still, consistency is key. Like any other muscle group, you wont see substantial gains in a month.
Doing this increase height??
@@entertainer1597 if you want to increase your height yes working out helps. But also stretching your spine the safest way possible.
1/2" of muscle is a substantial amount for any trainee at any experience level
I actually really appreciate you doing this because due to 20+ years of rheumatoid arthritis, most of the left side of my body is slightly atrophied. I'm most self conscious of my left calf since my left ankle developed limited range of motion earlier on, therefore, placing a lot of weight on my right side. As of late, I've been really trying to workout more and trying to strengthen the weaker side of my body. It's been years since I've last seen a physical therapist and I'm pretty excited about an upcoming appointment I have with a PT so I can discuss some exercises I can do to gain back more flexibility in my joints and strength back into my muscles. This video gives me hope!
How did it all go?
You just inspired me. I have weak ankles too, I’m gonna get started tomorrow after I break my fast.
Half an inch in a month is actually not bad, now I have the motivation to work on my own 💪🏻
gogo
@@averageman4372 hey man
Are you still doing calf raises? Or did you stop
This man just shut down every calf argument in existence.
Not really, most of his muscle growth would have been noob gains
You dont know shit about training.
5:02 “4/20 lmao blazeit” truly amazing
I'm proud to say that it's my birthday
@@hollywood6753 EVEN BETTER
always stretch after calf raises. makes it not be sore the next day and enables you to maybe get another set in!
I've always had unrealistic expectations on how much mass I thought I should gain from exercising, so i lost motivation to work out, but this for some reason stuck with me, I'll take this to heart and try to take my time with it, and not give up after not seeing insane results after a week lol.
Y'all gotta correct me if I'm wrong, don't want misinformation spreading around.
I think it's the crazy number of reps that made them lean rather than bulky. It's why the legs of marathon runners are more skinny than sprinters. What you have now are legs made for endurance (lean lasting machines) rather than bursts of power (giant springs).
For bulk, you'd have to do less reps and with more strain, e.g. weights.
Thank you for your information
How many reps you recommend
Until you do your series until total exhaustion it doesn't matter, but with weight or unilateral you'll end your session much faster
This exercise is very simple and good for calves, I also recommend doing it once on one leg and then on the other. Overall a nice video, I appreciate the work and good luck in further training.
That No WiFi had me cracking up 🤦🏾♀️
thats a 9.3% increase in the area of the calf in 30days. MASSIVELY impressive
Man am I glad to have good calf genetics. I have 16+ inch calves and I've only ever done calf raises a couple of times in my life.
Whenever he gets a cold he calfs.
xD
LMAOAOAO😐😐
Underrated comment
I love how he still shows his wins at battle ship at the end xD
"even i learned how to count to 100 properly " - average man
appreciate your hard work and how to be busy being free
i see so many people load up the calf raise machine but honestly if you just put 2 25 plates on and go all the way down and up slow, they will grow. It's just like the 4 way neck machine. put 5-10 lbs on and go slow and burn it out. They will grow.
I was doing 1000 calf raises per day for a week and then i got into quarantine and after i got really bored of it and dropped but in that first week that i've been doing it i've seen a huge change in my vert, i recomend it to all people that want to raise their vert or just have more muscular calfs to do it
Me : Aiyoo I'm getting bored
He: let's do calf raises
No way, I'm doing the same thing! Hopefully I'll upload it soon.
Great job man, thanks for sharing.
*And yes, cleaning teeth and calf raises are a next-level hack I thoroughly recommend...
For better results, do your raises on a stair with heel not touching the stair, and at each raise, count "One, two", then get back down and stop before you do another one. Two to four weeks for changes in calf size.
HALF AN INCH!!? THATS HUGE!! LIKE GENUINELY THATS HUMONGOUS! ANYONE WOULD BE SATISFIED IF NOT EXTREMELY EXCITED ABOUT THAT! LIKE HONESTLY THATS AWESOME!
I'm high and this has me rolling of laughter
@BotFrank10 I was high an hour later from now

What pack we smokin today?
@@treycotter Pack of clear mind
you've got such a lovely family :D i might be late, but congratz on your daughter!!
Some advice, walking on your tip toes puts some pressure on your calves and they get worked more, reason why people with alot of weight have massive calves, they have lots of pressure on their calves due to the weight could also be fat in the calves tho
@Dom Turner yeah its the album cover for TOOL's album, do you listen to them?
nice profile pic
Reason fat people often have big calves is because 1) they carry around a lot of weight everytime they walk and 2) they are fat so fat is stored in their calves as well. People that have good or even decent calf genetic will end up having good to decent calves if they lose the weight to a respectable number. If they do not have good genetics for them they will have chicken legs because calves are highly genetic
Tool is my life
Best part is your handwriting dude. That looks like an artpiece. My handwriting is so bad it starts looking like art as well ...
Tips for bigger calves:
1- exercise every other day. You should give your muscles at least 48h rest time to recover.
2 - Keep doing from 6 to 15 repetitions, 3 to 4 sets and 1 minute rest (max) between sets ( that's where hypertrophy works better)
3 - 15+ reps would be more focused in resistence. Instead of adding more reps you should add more weight once you find easy to reach 15 reps. Try doing both legs, one leg, both legs while holding weights, one leg + weights. If you don't have dumbbells use a backpack full of books.
Great video brother, no drugs, no BS, Just straight up facts 👍
Glad that you decided to make the change.Congrats my brother.May god bless your beautiful family.Much love from Mom's Spaghett🍝🍝🍝i❤❤❤
Thank you rabbit! God bless
He: "Nothing fancy"
Me:... WOOOOOOWWW!!!
I can't do that much in a month and you did it in only 30 days, hats down.
half an inch in a month is spectacular, give yourself some credit you did great!!! not to mention the vascularity which makes them appear to look bigger than they are
If you want to add more resistance to your calf raises, gain 50 pounds, you’ll make all kinds of calf gains.
*ALL KINDS*
YEAAAAAAAHHH
TRUMP 2020. YEEEEEUH
Darude fucking sandstorm
Truth fat people have giant calfs
Great video & story! I’m going to try this to strengthen my ankles! Prayers for a strong & healthy child!
If you decide to do this, start off small at first because I jumped straight into it and did 200 calf raises yesterday and I woke up and I can’t even walk🤣😭
Me too. Its just day 2, and i walked like a crab
Same
I think he did some calf raises before making this video
I came here for claf exercise but this is lovely 🥰
the "no wifi" part scared the fuck outta me bcuz i got headphones in 😭😭
