Is it just me or does anyone else having a hard time getting their calves to grow?

For the longest time I saw no results in my calves. I tried working them out every day, twice a day, every other day, on leg day. I tried everything possible, so I thought.  I finally started researching how to get results.

The biggest shocker for me was that calves are NOT to be trained on legs day. You should do them first on an upper body day. Calves, like triceps, are very dense muscle and they are best trained when supersetting. You'll target the two muscles that make up the calf: The gastrocnemius muscle, which gives the calf its rounded shape and the soleus, which is the flatter, longer muscle running underneath the gastrocnemius and lower down your leg.  

Standing motions that raise your body up with toes will work the gastrocnemius (round muscle). Seated calf raises will work your soleus (flat long muscle); reverse calf raises will work your tibialis anterior. There is no reason a calf workout should be long and complicated. Below is my workout:

Calves – super set; do 4 sets of 2 different machines back to back (or drop weight using the same machine) Do 15 – 20 reps followed by 10 to 15 reps. Stretch them in between.
