I'm not a leg or calf expert but I think you should try higher reps. I like to do sets of 15, even if it burns just try to do as many as you can. Some people do sets of 20-25. Remember, higher reps will increase size and lower reps is better for strength. [/b][/quote]
is that just on calves becuase I always heard lower rep heavy weight for mass [/b][/quote]
I use to think the same thing, but after some research I learned it is not. Higher reps will tear the muscle fibers deeper resulting in them building back stronger and bigger....or at least that is my understanding. And abs and calves are fast twitch muscles and need to be done with high reps imo. I could be wrong but I don't believe so.
