Steve Maxwell Calf Workout

I was digging through some of Steve Maxwell's older posts and came across this calf workout he suggested for adding on a little mass. I did this mini routine the other day after my push workout, and I'm still feeling it. If you try this, be sure to plan on not being able to do any jumping or running afterwards. "Here is a calf program that has never failed to give great results. Do 25 smooth, full range, single leg calf raises, stretch for 10 sec. and immediately do 100 single leg hops as high as you can. With no rest, go back and do 10 or 15 more calf raises, stretch for 10 sec.and perform 50 more single leg hops. Stretch the calf for thirty seconds. Now do the other side. Your calves will really be pumped. You may want to massage them to get the blood flowing. Do several sets of 20 tibial dorsi flexion on a leg curl machine or use a Dard if you have one. I have seen clients add some serious size from this workout. Steve Maxwell " If you do not have a Dard and don't feel like buying or making one, then you can do what I do and use a dumbbell. Girls, you'll have no problems. Guys, you'll have to cross your legs like a woman (hey, it's more comfortable anyways) and ignore the looks you get if you workout at a gym. Simply hold the dumbbell in position with your hands while you do the tibial dorsi flexions. The handle rests on top of your foot. I actually prefer this method as you can adjust the position of the weight as you do the exercise; making it harder the closer the dumbbell sits to your toes and easier the closer the dumbbell sits to your ankle. You could probably slide your foot in the handle of a kettlebell as another option.
