On...Calves

Some people are ass aficionados, others are lat lovers, while more still identify themselves as pectoral partisans. 

I, however, belong to a much smaller group...the calf connoisseurs. Gimme a set of calves that match the size of your average quad and I'm a happy man. True, those massive mounds of perfectly sculpted balls of short fiber are rare, belonging, mostly, to the genetically predisposed; however, that is not to say you cannot defy your stubborn DNA and find me trailing you down the street, salivating over your lower legs: Arnold did it, why can't you?

So what did Arnold-Puny-Calf-Schwarzenegger do to pump up his sticks?

Try this little trick of the trade:

Take your normal calf-raise weight - (for a 3 sets of 12-15 exercise) - and reduce it by 30-40 percent.

Now, perform 10 sets of 10 reps...but! only resting 15 seconds between sets! 

The idea is that the muscle fibers of your calves are made up differently than those of your other muscles and, therefore, recover too quickly with the traditional approach. Since your calves boost such fast recovery time - and because the exercise only takes 10 minutes - you can perform it every day.
