Lee priest used to do 100 reps everyday just body weighted ones and the only time he wouldn't do them is if he wasn't getting a pump in the calves. Also if you want them to get bigger use site injections on your calves that will improve them

Last I measured years ago was 20 cold and 22 pumped. I have found standing calf raises in the smith machine with a 25 plate on the floor. You place your feet on the plate and get full extention thru the movement. 5 6 sets 12 15 reps.

I'm not sure that it even matters all that much with the calves. They seem to be a tough muscle group to train as far as getting them to grow. Then you have some guys who have the high calf. You know....the calf muscle that's all bunched up at the top close to the knee, and has the champagne glass shape, (AKA the "black calf" since a number of black guys have that). And then below it your leg looks like a stick all the way down to the ankle.
If you're one of those guys who has calves like that, there's really not much you can do...it's just genetics.

Oh yeah, there ARE plenty of exceptions. But there's good and bad. Just as a number of black guys have the narrow hips in their bone structures which DOES make their wastes smaller and makes their chest and shoulders look wider, some of them are also cursed with the typical "black calf" too. And there is nothing you can ever do to change either....genetics....

Please elaborate
Essentially you take very small weight and make it the heaviest weight possible.
Start with like 40lbs ob the seated calf raise.
5 seconds down to fully stretched and hold for 15 seconds. Explode to the top and hold for 5 seconds. Slowly return back to fully stretched taking 5 seconds on the way down and repeat cycle for 20 reps.
Have fun walking
