Calves x 2
Abs x 4

If you always put limit on everything you do, physical or anything else. It will spread into your work and into your life. There are no limits. There are only plateaus, and you must not stay there, you must go beyond them.

Haven't trained calves in a year, I'm lucky as they are actually bigger than my arms :) and I only do abs as an afterthought when I train legs

Sorry guys Apparently it is true, cause its happened to certain people already, so I’m not taking any chances !!

Dorian Yates said there is no need to treat your calves any differently to any other muscle. I agree.
My calves are sore for most of the week. The most i will do is perhaps a Heavy day and then 4 days later a light stretch day with more reps to loosen them up a bit.

How intensely do you train your calves to be able to do them 3X / week?
I dont have the biggest Frankhouser calves but i built them from nothing and they are definately not the smallest in the gym.

I've trained calves once a week, twice a week and 3 times a week and that is where I see the magic. I train them Monday / Wed / Friday.

I train them twice a week when I'm not on gear. My body recovers extremely quickly when I'm on gear, and that is most of the year.

Lately I have been doing a full body workout 3 times a week Monday / Wed / Friday.

Bench press / Bent over rows / Military press / Straight bar curls / EZ Extensions / Squats / Calves / Abs

I find my body reacts very well to this type of training and once a week body parts just doesn't cut it for me. Sometimes I go into the gym on a weekend and will do 6 / 8 sets of dead lifts only. I've trained long enough to experiment with different styles of training and hence the reason I need to train calves 3 times a week.

You are the only one to judge what works and what doesnt. I ache/feel a workout on any specific body part at least 4 days. With the exception of Arms. Considering them 2 X week, But to do that i have to do shoulders as well and thats a killer. Cant have arms without seperation at the shoulders now can we?
