Calf training

To get the most from your calf training, I firmly believe that you have to train each individually.

The single leg calf raise is, to my mind, the best exercise. It allows for a more precise and controlled movement than on a machine and it is difficult to cheat reps out. Plus, you don't have to use tons of weight to get a decent return.

Of course you have to work hard though. This is an exercise that gets pretty painful fairly quickly. You should push against the discomfort and burn until failure. At least 15 reps per set.
