Calf Muscle Training - Calf Exercises

Advanced Calf Muscle Developmen

By Patrick Kraak


"We’ve received a number of requests for Patrick Kraak’s great calf-blasting program, so We’ve decided to reprint it. If you haven’t tried it yet, what are you waiting for? Thanks again Patrick.

Calf Muscle Workout and Exercise

Below I have a Calf training program, which will make even the "no calves at all" people add a few inches!

Here's how it works:

I usually train my calves every Tuesday and Friday. But sometimes you have a grow-stop [training plateau] which seems to last forever. That is the moment I fall back on this schedule. But it will hurt like hell! I use it only once and a while, when I really need to.

If you follow this program for 6 weeks, you will not be able to walk normal for that time. But my calves grew in 6 weeks 2 cm. (I'm sorry in Holland we count in Centimeters)

Tuesday Calf Muslce Workout:

First warm up your calves with only some calf-raises on the stairs or something for 2 x 20 reps with only your bodyweight.

Then you go to the standing calf-raise machine. And you put the weight on 30kg. (about one third of the weight you can do 15 reps max with). And you start training rep after rep, it will burn like hell but you keep continuing till you have done 100 reps.

At a point (in my case at about 50 reps) you will not be able to break through the pain anymore.

Then just lower your calves and stretch for about 10 seconds. And continue after that, you might do another 20 reps before you stretch again for 10 seconds. When you reach the 100, your calves will be pumped like you never trained before.

Then wait for 3 or 4 minutes (do a lot of stretching at that time, you will need it) and then do 3 sets of seated calf raise for about 20 reps each. And stretch after that once more!

Pete Sisco's Maximum Strength


Pete Sisco is the developer of Power Factor Training and Static Contraction Training - over 200,000 people worldwide have trained using Pete's methods.

The fact is, most people have no idea how strong they already are nor do they realize how strong they can ultimately get. MAXIMUM STRENGTH will show you Pete's SuperRep™ Static Contraction technique of lifting weight in only your strongest, safest range of motion. With Pete's no-nonsense, scientific approach to bodybuilding and strength training you can achieve your goals and go beyond.

As a consumer it can be a little confusing when looking at different ways to train for strength. The truth is any training method that involves lifting heavy weights will work to some degree and for some period of time. What MAXIMUM STRENGTH offers you is a method that requires the minimum possible time investment and, because of meaningful measurement, the ability to sustain your strength and muscle mass month after month and year after year.

Friday Calf Muscle Exercise:

I hope the pain has decreased a bit; if not you might skip this training and do it one workout later.

This training will not be as painful as the other one!

First you do toe-presses on the leg press, your reps should be 20, 10, 8, 6 . . . With real heavy weight!

Power is the key-word here!

Then you go to the standing calf raise and go for 20 reps with normal weight first. Then you go real heavy for 6 reps. Than a bit lighter for 15 reps and then heavy again for 8 reps.

Then, as a desert you do some stretching and finish it all off with one set till failure, doing calf raises just with your bodyweight on the stairs (one leg at the time!). Stretch again and enjoy the pain!

If you do this for about 6 weeks, and then fall back to your old program, you'll have calves bigger than they ever were! Try it, it works

(I would never recommend this Program to a beginner or intermediate!)
