I've spent the better half of the last year ignoring my calves.Today it wad warm enough to wear shorts instead of pants, and I've come to notice the issue full swing.

I have 4 weeks left of bulking, before I cut.

Any calf tips?

Raises like DJ said.

my calves grow like crazy, I rarely work them anymore due to proportion reasons but when I do, it's high volume bodyweight. for eg. a jog on tip toes until the lactic acid is unbearable, then another 5 min lol. They pump up like a priest's nuts in a confessional hearing a strippers penance. I mean huge pump. I suppose you could do a variance of this like static toe jumping, etc.... I don't get much from heavy weight, low rep out of them

I like donkey calf raises the most, put 2 bitches on your back like Arnold, it works really well.

100 calf raises with your own body weight everyday, control the tempo... Read this on T-Nation and it actually gave me good results 3/4 inch in a month) you should try (I'll also hit them once a week with more weight but high reps). I also stretch calves everday and feel better on my feet. IMO doing 10-15 reps for a couple of sets doesn't really stress the calves. I guess everyone has his thing..

^^^this, lots of guys trying traditional stuff for calves with no or little success, gotta go against the grain, only i'd try it 3x a week. the must do 10k reps a day normally just walking. You wanna pump the hell outta them.

Occlusion might be worth a shot, just be careful.

Leg Press "calf raises"... heels hanging off the bottom with the weight on the balls of your feet. You can really load on the weight. I currently do 6 sets of 8 with 710lbs. When I'm on a cycle I'll put the weight up a bit but mostly I'll just raise the reps. Slow and controlled, don't bounce or you'll be out of commission for a while. They WILL grow if you do this with substantial weight.
