Tomorrow will be the last workout in the 5s for me, and there is absolutely no growth in my calves. In my first cycle I had 1/8 inch of growth. I've read about the difference in muscle fibers in the calves, so I understand why they take so long to grow, but I'm wondering if it's even worth working them.
I work out at home and have no aparatus for calves. I have a lot of trouble balancing under the weight I need to use.
My current technique is to deadlift a barbell, then I put one foot on a chair, resting the BB on my thigh, the other foot on a board to do the calf raise. It's the best way I've found to use a heavy weight, but keep balance. I'm concluding that it's not too effective though.
Hould I just toss out calf raises all together now, or try something else?
