Anyone successfully grow their calves? Srs

Been hitting them like crazy last few months. Haven't gained much size at all, but definitely some vascularity. But I want size

I have genetically inferior calves. There was a time when I could rep out the entire stack on the calf extension machine for reps, multiple sets, they still never grew. All the different exercises, angles, etc, nothing really changed.

I have ridiculously high insertion points on my calves, maybe that’s the culprit. Gave up training them years ago (though still train legs weekly and run 40 miles a month)

Forget about calves if you’re a runnercel. Only way to grow them is through progressive overload ie heavy resistance training, high frequency, high volume, and eating a lot. Take a look around. Fat guys have big calves, cardiocels have chicken legs.
**Eat lots and lots of birds. The smaller the bird, the more compact its protein content. Parrots are great sources for protein.**

Nope, nobody ever has.

Calf size is 100% genetic.

Fill a backpack with as much weight as it can carry, when you go about your daily activities (walking to the shop ect) wear it. Ever seen a land whale with small calves?

My calves never really started growing until I started doing Oly styled lifts. When I started doing power cleans twice a week I noticed that not only I gained massive size on them, but my tibialis (shin muscle) started growing too.

Some folks' calves respond good to volume, other people need to hit them with load.

Incorrect. Nobody's calves respond to either, including yours.

Yeah, I did once. Just keep doing those leg presses and/or squats.

Running always worked better for me than weightlifting for calves.
