As a dancer trying to improve my ankle and calf strength, this is what I do pretty much every night. Before I even found this video, I was doing some of these workouts. It totally works. Great video!
@@teqqez5463 Doing this working every second, third, or even 4th day is way more then enough. Your calves aren’t a muscle that you need to overly workout.
best calf workout ive ever done.. been doing it for weeks now n it leaves me sore every single time! so short and effective just came her to say thanks cuz i felt u deserved it corey🙌
First Day Nothing. Second day started feeling pain on my muscles. Third Day Feel that muscles are burning Fourth Day Barely even walking Fifth Day Finally that burn is going away. Sixth day almost back to normal. This workout is fire !
You shouldn't feel like that. If this is your first time doing calf exercises, then you should only minimize it because your muscles need to adjust. You should feel DOMS(pain a day after exercising) but it shouldn't be that bad that you can't walk.
This was great, thanks, I have been researching "mma home workouts" for a while now, and I think this has helped. You ever tried - Qiyictoria Teyrooklyn Eradicator - (do a search on google ) ? Ive heard some amazing things about it and my friend got excellent results with it.
This truly works! Since I started doing this, my calves have noticeably increased in size and strength....thanks for the cool workout sir! What I love most about this workout is that it never fails to leave my calves pumped--always!
@@beastboy2345 Idk man. It's hard to say. Just do it and do it consistently. After a month or 2, I would say start progressively adding load like carry a 45lb weight. Also, another thing that I found to be helpful is doing hill sprints, walking up steep hills and carry 35lb-50lb on your back for at least 5 miles (essentially "rucking"). Keep in mind that genetics is a factor too. The overall goal should be health and fitness. So focus on proper nutrition, function fitness and sleep. If you do all the above--CONSISTENTLY, you'll see GREAT results. It may not be in 3 months, or even 6! It may take up to a good year, year and a half of dedicated work...but you'll get the results man.
@@luffybaka9679 In my personal experience, no. It just gives you a good pump. If anything, it feels like you're walking on air afterwards. I will say however, that the first few times you do it, the next day is gonna suck for recovery. So make sure you get a good (dynamic) calf stretch before and after you do it; perform a couple of static stretches several times throughout the day, and make sure you roll the muscle to offset the muscle soreness. Do it, and you'll see man
It’s been 2 days since I used this calf exercise and my calves have never been as sore as they are today I can barely walk! This works better than any of the calf training methods I have used in the gym, just crazy man
I did 3 set of 30. 30 second slow reps. Feet inward, straight, and outward. I did it not making sure my heels never touch the floor each calf raise. I woke up kinda sore the next day but the day after that...I was like 😫. Tip: Consume lots of protein like milk, eggs, eggnot, etc. Your calves will recover faster.
DO NOT underestimate this workout. I didn't properly warm up and now a couple days later I'm in bed and unable to walk 🤣 Great workout though, I will definitely continue once I've fully recoverd!
Holy God. This DESTROYED my legs. Been using Bret Contreras programs for building glutes (love his book!!) but felt like my calves needed more attention. Not only did this address my calves, it also pummeled the stubborn saddlebags area that is so challenging to target. The burn runs all the way up your legs! Awesome! Thanks for the fabulous video ❤🍑❤
I do a pretty brutal weighted calf routine at least once per week but my calfs are in agony after doing this 2 days ago... Thanks Corey (and Corey's wife!)
I did this for a few months. My calves are no longer just straight. I got some muscle. It's slow and hard for me to gain muscle/strength and this worked. thanks 🤙
@@rickstalentedtongue910 can genuinely do it 5 to 6 days a week if you want since calves heal quicker than other muscles. Ive just started of doing 4 a week and will increase in a weeks time
Wow! I've been doing this for the last month or so and I've seen great progress. I'll even mix it up by pointing my feet inward to work the other side of calves, but this truly is a game changer!
Have been using this video for a year. I have what they call "Bad calf genetics". So far have gone from 15 and a half inches to 16 and a half. Started using dumbells with it and playing the video through 2-3 times a session. Thanks so much for uploading this!
Hey - sorry - bit of a delayed response :/ I don't use this account much. But yeah this is still my go-to calves routine. I think it's been about a year and a half now..maybe more. I did measure them at 17inches after a workout about 3 months ago... I probably do the routine about 1-2 times a week. I'm holding 25lb dumbells now and following this same routine. Main difference now is that my calves feel stronger after a workout, rather than debilitating for days afterwards.
In my 3 years of going to the gym and working out consistently, I have never felt my calves the way they feel right now. Really good workout bro! Keep it up!
I just wanted to come back to the comments section and tell people that two days after this workout I cannot bend my ankles in any direction!!!! GREAT WORKOUT!!!!
I been here months ago and I am 17 years old and this workout really works. I had done this for 2 weeks with no dumbbells, 2 1/2 months with 15 pound dumbbells for 2 months and another 2 months for today with 20 pounds. 20 pound is very difficult still but I am starting to get a hang of it 😂
I entered in the fitness world for a bit now (5 months I think?) and, being fourteen, I didn't know you also had to train the calves as you train arms or chest! This is the best workout for calves I found, they are still burning while I'm writing this comment! 🔥👑
Don’t try to do it two times in a row, you can just do it one in the early afternoon and the other at 5 hours later, you won’t make changes idiot. Instead of doing two times a row, just use dumbbells and you will see changes (only one time though)
Beginner here, DO NOT DO THIS WORKOUT WITHOUT WARMING UP COMPLETELY, I have done these for 2 days, ran for 5km both days, and when I came back from running on day 2, I have got such a massive soreness and pain in both of my calves. Every slight movement that I took doubled that pain and made me lay in my bed whole 3rd day. Now is day 4 and after some stretching I can finally stand up (hurts though) and walk.
My calves has been my nemesis!! I've done every exercise in the book and . . . NOTHING!! , then I came to this your video and of course I gave it a try . . . . . OMG !!!! Yesss, yesss, yessss !!!! This really work !!! Since the first moment I really feel the work on my calves muscles !!! FINALLY AFTER YEARS OF TRYING !! Thanks a million !!! My calves are really growing little by little, but I can see the difference. I use a 10 pound weight for more challenge!!! DAmn !!! Thank You Corey, you really changed my life with this !!!
Dude... I feel like my calv went to hell then got back, whats kind of witchcraft is that? Anyway what if i do that while holding 15 kg on each hand? What do you recomend for me if i want more chalenge? Thanks dude it works
Years, and years later, I came back to this workout. Little did I know that calves actually benefit from high reps more than low reps. I also rehabed my foot injury doing this. Thank you Corey if you're reading this.
First time doing this workout: didn't feel any soreness Waking up in the morning: i feel a little soreness Then the day after, i feel extreme pain especially in my upper calfs, i could not walk properly im walking like a newly circumsized kid.. True story
I totally recommend this workout. I felt the workout I was doing wasn't as effective as I wanted to and this one, works since the beginning. Thank you.
Corey! i watched the vid the first time just now and then restarted it to follow along with you, i did everything you did in the video with you, and i gotta tell you that my legs are feelin it right now, i'm totally including this in leg day! thanks and great vid! 👍
Definitely worked my calves. I was only a little sore the next day but day two was a killer. Since I’ve never seen a dancer with skinny calves I’m going to continue doing these. Thanks
wow , when i was younger I danced too and I tell you this is no joke! A dancers legs are as strong as can be .That you yours is the best on the enter net . WO W that BURN!!!
I am a simple bodybuilder. My glutes are huge and my hamstrings are fine but my calves.... we all know that right.. From now on I will do this everyday and I will update this comment if i get results
By far my favourite go to calf workout. Crazy pump after the first set. Second set challenges my stamina and the third challenges my will! Bittersweet, awesome.
HOLY COW..this is challenging..my muscular endurance for this is low!near instant lactic acid. So many advantages to be had tho..strength, endurance, size and shape, increased flexibility in feet and ankles, indirect effect and increased metabolism..ALL worth the effort! Thanks Corey, for sharing.
Thanks so much for this amazing routine. I tried it and immediately included it into my calf training program. So few people know how important well trained calfes and feet are for athletic performance and smooth movement. Additional tip: Train tibialis muscle too 💪 😎
@@cth38881 ....lol...i danced for many years...now here is the funny part...my ballet teacher would give us stuff like this to do...and we would TRY... to collapse in pain...like you were doing...lol.....then the DRILL SARGEANT in him would come out...STAND UP STRAIGHT...WHAT IS WRONG WITH YOU...PUT A PLEASANT SMILE ON YOUR FACE......DONT LEAN...WHY ARE YOU BENDING OVER....and my personal favorite....YOU ARE NOT AT THE BARROOM.....LOL....STAND WITH YOUR LEGS IN CLOSED 5th POSITION...YOU ARE DANCERS...SMILE...and we...WOULD DO IT...and he would make us HOLD IT ...for about a minute...then he would let us RELEASE...and we would just ...DIE....LOL.....but it worked ..i would get plenty of jobs based off of my STAMINA....AND DEPORTMENT....i was the only guy in a class full of girls...he was TOUGH...but he would see me in music videos and commercials when i became grown...and he was ...SO PROUD OF ME....GOD BLESS MR GIACOBBE...AND GOD BLESS YOU AND YOUR WIFE TOO....you brought back a lot of great memories...lol...when my body was very...very...young...and i will let you know how my calves respond to your workout plan...
trying out this workout. will come back with an update on how big my calves get. currently calves are at 14.1 inches i have horrible genetics, my dad been working out his whole life and cant get his calves and forearms to grow and i unfortunately have the same problem so hopefully this works
I felt it's a lot, I do similar calfworkouts in my daily workout, I don't have wait so I just kind of made something up. I definitely felt it I think if I didn't already do those in my regular work out I would have probably given out. I'm not able to join a gym due to a jealous boyfriend, but that's another story. So thank you so much for showing a calf workout where you don't have to have equipment. I do have some dumbbell weights that I use but other than that no access to equipment. And my arms and abs are so much more toned than my legs, even though I walk an hour a day and jog for 10 minutes and do leg workouts that I either found online or made up. Maybe this will help then even out. I found another video from my thighs, this is my favorite for calfs so far thank you so much for posting!
Okay. Im a dancer and yes this is done in classes. But slightly differntly. For one, speed. Your "slow" ones are about the speed of our fast ones, and also we dont rest our heels in the slow ones.
Easy. I did them exactly how you did them with ankle weights. I also did 50 in the end instead of the 30. Thank you. Edit I couldn’t walk the next day lol.
My advice to anyone currently training with weights for calves and not getting results, do these instead and you will. There is a reason why many people tend to lack in legs, lats, and calves. It's because to grow them, you have to obliterate them with weights to hit them deep enough to spark growth. They are the hardest to grow and it takes a lot of mental power to hit them hard enough. For example, 5 types of pulldowns for your back workout, won't make your back both wide and dense. You need to get real and add heavy movements like rows and deadlifts or you simply won't grow complete lats. Many just don't have the energy to do that. But calves may be the worst of the three. Your calves unilaterally push your bodyweight all day when you walk. They are bored to death. The only way to grow them is to hit them to where they burn DEEP and you may have trouble walking. You have to achieve true failure. Most simply do not put that kind of effort into weights because you have to move so much for so long to properly do it. If you did it properly they would really grow. Since you probably aren't, the next best thing is bodyweight burnouts like this one. I grew my calves an extra inch this year with bodyweight burnouts and little else for calves, and mine were already pretty developed. Because you are really hitting them deep and it shocks them into growth. This one right here is excellent as a finisher for experienced trainers, or a standalone if you are new to destroying calves. Do it twice and it's truly nasty as a calf workout for anyone and you're out in ten minutes. Don't let your ego make you stick with what isn't working.
@@22lab575 I've been doing it 4-5 times a week and within 2 weeks they're much bigger. VERY visible difference- I'm so mindblown. I haven't even increased my diet that much and it literally still showed difference
DAY 1 : I did this 3 times in a row and yeah it burns and hurts... BUT, my calfs are actually so mellow that i need to do this 3x week to make them stronger! Wish me like guys :D DAY 4 : I am still feeling it and it bloody hurts when i stand up! Just one workout and i am dead for 4 days? I am unable to do this 3x week no foking way!
Your body gets used to it if you keep exercising regularly so soon you might only get a little sore or not sore at all. However once you start seeing gains you’ll need to increase the workload so you can do more rounds or reps, keep going👊
Tbessix220 try to get a full range of motion, get a block or a platform that is elevated and half the bottom half of your foot hanging off of it and do the same exercises. That produces more results and I wouldn't recommend going quick like he does. Fully extend the calf muscle and make sure there is a good amount of tension. If you want to gain even more muscle, hold Dumbbells in your hand will doing this
Don't let your calves touch the ground, you need to keep the calves under tension, and if you want to make it harder, go slower down. Its the overload on the calves that builds the mass. Calves are used to being used to normally push up, but not to a sustained weighted eccentric overload.
I also started this today😂 But in my opinion this is not hard. I mean maybe Im doing something wrong. But maybe it is because before of this I die 3 Sets of 80 reps of tiptoeing up and down. With this workout my calves feel different. Idk😂 I Think I will do this and 30 reps of tiptoeing added
Genius, hilarious and works amazingly well! I'm with you. My ex was a modern ballet dancer in New York and she and all the other dancers, especially the guys, had perfectly sculpted muscular legs with nice booties, thick thighs and ripped calves. I never thought to actually do some of their exercises for myself until watching this. Going to start doing regularly. Thanks for the workout!
@@uknown.p1297 for me I do one set a day but I add up dumbbell weights every 2 months ( I say every two months because I get used to it and start using heavier dumbbells to pump my muscle up)
Like if you subscribed after watching this.
That hit the calves just right thanks
I now have COWS
Thank you Sir! Been doing this exercise twice a week for several months. Amazing results.

Hello! How frequently did you train calves? Every day? Every other day?
This work out is the easiest, safest and most effective. May legs sore and tough now. Great work out at home and w/o equipment. Thank you!
Thanks Corey and I am from India I am your biggest fan you r great
This is a killer! It hurts my calves so much but I love it! Thanks for sharing this! No pain, no gain!
It is 5 min and my calf feel it, that is perfect, in 1-2 weeks i could run much faster and longer. Thanks. :)

HOW
Bruh no cap this is better than my other calf workout that last 15 mins
I am a simple bodybuilder. My glutes are huge and my hamstrings are fine but my calves.... we all know that right.. From now on I will do this everyday and I will update this comment if i get results
Try every other day to get a rest because it's a killer workout
Results?
Results man?
You lied to us
By far my favourite go to calf workout. Crazy pump after the first set. Second set challenges my stamina and the third challenges my will! Bittersweet, awesome.
that was sick I could not walk for 3days
No way
@@IUPLOADSHORTVIDEOS same
HOLY COW..this is challenging..my muscular endurance for this is low!near instant lactic acid. So many advantages to be had tho..strength, endurance, size and shape, increased flexibility in feet and ankles, indirect effect and increased metabolism..ALL worth the effort! Thanks Corey, for sharing.
My progress :
Day 1 :✅
Day 2:✅
Day 3:✅
Pooja Joshi day 4,5?
Keep us updated please
I guess he died lol
rip
Can you update after 5 months?
Just did this for the first time and wow do I have the BURN in my calves. Doing this exact workout and Cadence moving forward! Thanks!
hardest calf workout ever they were soure 4 2 days
WoW!! Who knew that that simple exercise could be sooo effective!! Thank you!!!
Does this actually make your calves bigger or it just makes them look sharper and more definded
both
Woow it really hurts, but i can say this is one of the best calves work out i've ever done. Thanks Corey.
Damn I couldn't walk for two days after this 😭
Lol 🤣🤣
bro i was crawling up the stairs, how your calfs looking now
Stretch before doing it
@@harryk8264 what stretches bro?
@@ahmedbenhariz8694 i dont know probably leg stretches
Guys this work, done it only 5 days and muscle is already showing. Great workout!
Is it ok to hold something for balance while doing this
Yeah of course but your heels need to to be close to the ground
Thanks so much for this amazing routine. I tried it and immediately included it into my calf training program. So few people know how important well trained calfes and feet are for athletic performance and smooth movement. Additional tip: Train tibialis muscle too 💪 😎
haaaa it was funny! I could feel the pain just looking
The pain is real lol
ceili hahaha same here
😂😂😂😂😂😂😂
@@cth38881 ....lol...i danced for many years...now here is the funny part...my ballet teacher would give us stuff like this to do...and we would TRY... to collapse in pain...like you were doing...lol.....then the DRILL SARGEANT in him would come out...STAND UP STRAIGHT...WHAT IS WRONG WITH YOU...PUT A PLEASANT SMILE ON YOUR FACE......DONT LEAN...WHY ARE YOU BENDING OVER....and my personal favorite....YOU ARE NOT AT THE BARROOM.....LOL....STAND WITH YOUR LEGS IN CLOSED 5th POSITION...YOU ARE DANCERS...SMILE...and we...WOULD DO IT...and he would make us HOLD IT ...for about a minute...then he would let us RELEASE...and we would just ...DIE....LOL.....but it worked ..i would get plenty of jobs based off of my STAMINA....AND DEPORTMENT....i was the only guy in a class full of girls...he was TOUGH...but he would see me in music videos and commercials when i became grown...and he was ...SO PROUD OF ME....GOD BLESS MR GIACOBBE...AND GOD BLESS YOU AND YOUR WIFE TOO....you brought back a lot of great memories...lol...when my body was very...very...young...and i will let you know how my calves respond to your workout plan...
the only calf workout that truly works FAST! First time try and already sore af. I will update my progress here in the next 3 months
I’m walking like a penguin after this wow
trying out this workout. will come back with an update on how big my calves get. currently calves are at 14.1 inches i have horrible genetics, my dad been working out his whole life and cant get his calves and forearms to grow and i unfortunately have the same problem so hopefully this works
Corey, do you recommend that we do these every day, or every other day with a day of rest in between?
Great question. I’ll wait patiently too for the answer 😊
@@philipjames751 he posted this in 2016, he ain't answering buddy
Naw bro I’ve been waiting everyday and I know he’ll answer 😃
@@philipjames751 ill wait with ya 😂
@@manunitedman71 haha 😂
I felt it's a lot, I do similar calfworkouts in my daily workout, I don't have wait so I just kind of made something up. I definitely felt it I think if I didn't already do those in my regular work out I would have probably given out. I'm not able to join a gym due to a jealous boyfriend, but that's another story. So thank you so much for showing a calf workout where you don't have to have equipment. I do have some dumbbell weights that I use but other than that no access to equipment. And my arms and abs are so much more toned than my legs, even though I walk an hour a day and jog for 10 minutes and do leg workouts that I either found online or made up. Maybe this will help then even out. I found another video from my thighs, this is my favorite for calfs so far thank you so much for posting!
Okay. Im a dancer and yes this is done in classes. But slightly differntly. For one, speed. Your "slow" ones are about the speed of our fast ones, and also we dont rest our heels in the slow ones.
But were not going dancing.
I tried this at work and really apprieciate it helps and came here to thank you.
Just got out of bed and I can’t walk
Mak H same man I thought it’s just me
Wow this works. Thing is you can do this anywhere!! Many thanks for taking the trouble to post this. Much appreciated. 🇬🇧👍
Easy. I did them exactly how you did them with ankle weights. I also did 50 in the end instead of the 30. Thank you.
Edit
I couldn’t walk the next day lol.
I am 63 and get them 3x times with no issues at all, no cheating. My calves had always been my best muscles though.
My advice to anyone currently training with weights for calves and not getting results, do these instead and you will. There is a reason why many people tend to lack in legs, lats, and calves. It's because to grow them, you have to obliterate them with weights to hit them deep enough to spark growth. They are the hardest to grow and it takes a lot of mental power to hit them hard enough. For example, 5 types of pulldowns for your back workout, won't make your back both wide and dense. You need to get real and add heavy movements like rows and deadlifts or you simply won't grow complete lats. Many just don't have the energy to do that. But calves may be the worst of the three. Your calves unilaterally push your bodyweight all day when you walk. They are bored to death. The only way to grow them is to hit them to where they burn DEEP and you may have trouble walking. You have to achieve true failure. Most simply do not put that kind of effort into weights because you have to move so much for so long to properly do it. If you did it properly they would really grow. Since you probably aren't, the next best thing is bodyweight burnouts like this one. I grew my calves an extra inch this year with bodyweight burnouts and little else for calves, and mine were already pretty developed. Because you are really hitting them deep and it shocks them into growth. This one right here is excellent as a finisher for experienced trainers, or a standalone if you are new to destroying calves. Do it twice and it's truly nasty as a calf workout for anyone and you're out in ten minutes. Don't let your ego make you stick with what isn't working.
Sheesh, this is my calf routine every single day added up with my 200 push ups 😤🚶🏽♂️
did you see results of this calv exercise?
Can you train calves everyday?
overtraining. no progress. sadlife.
@@22lab575 I've been doing it 4-5 times a week and within 2 weeks they're much bigger. VERY visible difference- I'm so mindblown. I haven't even increased my diet that much and it literally still showed difference
Dude has got a great build, envious.
DAY 1 : I did this 3 times in a row and yeah it burns and hurts... BUT, my calfs are actually so mellow that i need to do this 3x week to make them stronger! Wish me like guys :D
DAY 4 : I am still feeling it and it bloody hurts when i stand up! Just one workout and i am dead for 4 days? I am unable to do this 3x week no foking way!
Your body gets used to it if you keep exercising regularly so soon you might only get a little sore or not sore at all. However once you start seeing gains you’ll need to increase the workload so you can do more rounds or reps, keep going👊
Updates?
Lee Lee i am lazy piece of shit...
One of the best calf workouts I've ever tried! Thanks!!
Zedrick Woodson
Did you see gains
@@MichaelJ44 Yes I did.
Zedrick Woodson
How much and how long did it take? I’ve tried for 2 days and I can barley walk
I just tried it! i feel pretty sore but i don't if that will add mass to the calves ?
Tbessix220 try to get a full range of motion, get a block or a platform that is elevated and half the bottom half of your foot hanging off of it and do the same exercises. That produces more results and I wouldn't recommend going quick like he does. Fully extend the calf muscle and make sure there is a good amount of tension. If you want to gain even more muscle, hold Dumbbells in your hand will doing this
VenomousGamer yes i mostly do this with dumbbells, i'm seeing some progress but it's not enough.. i'm pretty tall and my calves still look skinny
Don't let your calves touch the ground, you need to keep the calves under tension, and if you want to make it harder, go slower down. Its the overload on the calves that builds the mass. Calves are used to being used to normally push up, but not to a sustained weighted eccentric overload.
Jacob Reynolds Thanks man, i'll try this
Tbessix220 add some weights while you do it
This is insane ! Best calf workout i have ever tried.
Couldn’t walk for 2 days after I did this lol
Really enjoyed doing these. Did em exactly as you did. I'll be incorporating this workout into my calf routine. Thank you for the upload.
I did this and my calf’s instantly felt 10x stronger
I also started this today😂 But in my opinion this is not hard. I mean maybe Im doing something wrong. But maybe it is because before of this I die 3 Sets of 80 reps of tiptoeing up and down. With this workout my calves feel different. Idk😂 I Think I will do this and 30 reps of tiptoeing added
Yea um btw 3 days later I can’t walk
JayhsSZN
How’s it lookin now?
Michael Im fine now but Idk if I wanna do that again 😂
JayhsSZN
Do they make them bigger? 😂 everyone sayin it be painful
Genius, hilarious and works amazingly well! I'm with you. My ex was a modern ballet dancer in New York and she and all the other dancers, especially the guys, had perfectly sculpted muscular legs with nice booties, thick thighs and ripped calves. I never thought to actually do some of their exercises for myself until watching this. Going to start doing regularly. Thanks for the workout!
How many times a week should you do this?
Ryan Kopp if you want your calves to grow minimum every other day, you can do it even every day if you sleep and eat right.
@@loolootheworm8089 how many reps or sets?
@@uknown.p1297 for me I do one set a day but I add up dumbbell weights every 2 months ( I say every two months because I get used to it and start using heavier dumbbells to pump my muscle up)
Holy shit i love this its intense af and its so fucking easy to make ur self do bc u literally just gotta stand up and do em real quick
Ok did 1 round and allready burned. Ill wait for legday to perform more rounds 😄
Most useful video for calves out there. Kudos.
I tried it I literally couldn’t take 3 steps after the whole workout
