Not true. I've seen studies where men who train 5-6 days a week gain just as much muscle as those that train 3-4. There is a 'ceiling' to how fast you can grow as a man, and dieting/adrenal factors influence that greatly. However, studies are strictly performed observations and this dispells any factor for PED usage. The only difference is what type of performance someone is training for. People can gain size as fast as others that train with high frequency, but will that person that trains 3 be able to output more than another that trains 6... I digress. 👍
@@devinnorsworthy9154 What is exactly untrue in her statement ? She is not talking about getting size, she's taking about recovery. Yes you can train times a week without gear, but you can't go as hard as with gear. I've known people who train arms to failure two times a week with gear, which doesn't equal bigger arms faster, but it does mean you can train more often with much greater intensity. Some people take roids just because they want to feel strong, not everybody takes it to become a professional bodybuilder.
The quadfather, Tom Platz who arguably had the best legs ever said he only trained legs twice a week. Two good days of doing legs is always better than junk volume and training legs everyday
@@Rainy_Day12234 back then they didn’t even take a “massive amount”. He did respond very well to what he took. You can see he didn’t have any sort of bubble gut or extremely big upper body even. He has said what his cycle was in interviews if you want to believe him
Your the one who’s wrong, you can train muscles groups every single day if they are small and recover like calf’s not the quads chest or back, I work biceps everyday and I grew so much
instead of doing 9 sets of calves 2 times a week he could do 4 sets 5-6 times a week. The volume is greater, you probably will carry more weight cause you'll only do the first sets, and could do less strain to central nervous system. But i agree that i would not do it for too long, just use it as a shock method
@@sebyfloristean9514 What you said is partially true, but the problem with your statement is that you fail to realize that recovery occurs across a continuum, which means that people do not recover at the same rate. So, if you train other body parts once a week you might be able to train your calves twice a week and make progress, but the volume also needs to be at a level that you can recover from. In that since, calves are just like any other body part.
@@sebyfloristean9514That's not completely true. Your calves will recover faster if you use the same weight that you use for weaker muscles (like arms). If you use higher weights that fatigue your calves easily, you need to let them rest just like any muscle. Actually you use your calves when training hamstring curls, so you shouldn't go overboard with calf training.
thats not true, like any other muscle if you use heavy weights and slow and controlled range of motion to create max mechanical tension, it should grow like any other muscle. High reps wont yield a powerful enough stimulus for muscle growth response
Yes it is true, you walk everyday and you Grab Things everyday, which is why your calves and forearms are used to high Volume and fast recovery@@MrInzombia
Well the reasons you can train calves that frequently are: 1- he's not natural 2- calves are one of those muscle groups that need long frequency, long sets (25reps). This is because they are a stability muscle, you use them every single day to stay still.
Unless you're on PEDs, high volume training only works when you're a novice or barely intermediate. Mentzer was right about this. Train intensely enough to stimulate growth and then take your recovery seriously
Yea but as a natural bodybuilder you cannot train too hard. You need breaks for your body to recover. Don’t forget being on gear helps your body recover faster. Allowing you to train 10x harder and rest 10x less.
You failed to mention that Arnold did standing calf raises with a 1000 pounds. Yes he used high volume, but on top of the high volume and daily training, he also went as heavy as he could possibly tolerate. He would also have 3 to 4 bodybuilders sit on his back while he did donkey calf raises and made sure he flexed at the top for peak contraction. He covers all of this subject matter and more in his book the encyclopedia of modern bodybuilding.
Some might say it's not efficient to train calfs every day, because of recovery problems, but your calfes are used to support your whole bodyweight the whole day so you have to "shock" them wirh high volume.
The thing about calf recovery is that the calfs are quite a small muscle which means they recover a lot faster than the back or legs so training them everyday might not be as bad as you think,same thing with forearms.
Yes. ONLY IN EXTREMELY HIGH FIBER, HIGH SACROPLASM HOLDING muscles. Your calves are used literally 100X more than most muscles in your structure. So they can be trained more often. Try this concept with your Biceps and see how fast you stunt their growth.
Rule of thumb is 72 hours recuperating time if you actually have done enough work to get a size increase to where you started and then a little more to add the video on volume only applies to people who are using steroids and other things
if you're on steroids yes. If you're not you're going to need a normal amount of time to recover before training again. The microfiber damage must be healed first. the Cavs do seem to be able to be trained more often but training them almost everyday is probably going to break you down.
The photo of Arnold Schwarzenegger looking at his carfs. It's my favourite photo of him. I just love the look on his face as if he's not quite happy with the results. This is, in essence, the mentality of any successful athlete. Never be happy. Always strive for more.
Anyone here claiming it’s the juice is off the mark… it works for everyone the same. it’s called nucleus overload. Plus the more advanced of a lifter you become, the more you can add higher levels of frequency. I follow a lot of nattys that offen go twice a day to the gym, seven days a week. They just rotate the muscles worked every day. Check out Joel Kellett. The modern day Arnold to see what I mean. Peace ✌️
Why does everyone in the comments hate. Whether the man took steroids or not he had tremendous work ethic and superior genetics. I know from experience that steroids is not some magical substance that is gonna make something out of nothing. Not to be rude but I’m guessing everyone with something negative to say probably look nothing like Arnold…
Calves are all genetic. I stopped training calves years ago and yet my calves are huge. And then there's people who do a lot of direct calf work and their calves never grow.
You can do that with a small muscle group like calves. Pretty much the same thing with abs. They're smaller muscles and recover quickly. Larger muscle groups require more rest.
I think the difference is not small versus big muscle groups - but fast-twitch versus slow-twitch muscle fibers. Abs and calves have more slow-twitch muscle fibers because we use them more frequently at low intensity throughout the day. Slow twitch muscle fibers respond well to more volume at lower weights.
Arnold’s early publications showed his real workouts a 4 day workout per week with weights the other 3 were jogging. It wasn’t until his movie career Hollywood started pushing this overtraining nonsense to convince the masses that these guys had insane bodies bc they spent 8hrs in the gym. Ronnie Coleman in his peak didn’t lift more than an hour a day and even worked as a police officer. Stop the cap.
Respectfully, max amount of days a week with experience you’re training a muscle effectively is probably three and even then you can’t do super heavy compounds. Most likely you’ll be doing 1 heavy day and 2 light days or vice versa
very curiosly, my calves started growing more since I got into the wide toe box shoes, barefoot, grounding rabbit hole The stronger feet made me able to put more weight on the calf raises
Nothing about what you said is logical. You can do it juiced because of increased recovery ability. For others you have increased intensity and increase rest to overcompensate for the damage
You don’t know what you are talking about. Training creates micro tears in the muscle fibers. It’s only during rest, recovery and feeding the muscle, does hypertrophy occur. You cannot be training and tearing the muscle daily and expect optimum growth. Arnold’s calves could have potentially been much larger if he trained this way. He promotes this high volume style of training to this day if he sees someone with smaller calves, but forgets about individual genetics. Not everyone responds like him.
Wow. What a coincidence. I'm not anyone, and certainly not in any league like he was in, but I've always trained muscles daily when I wanted to begin a program to speed up growth. They always say not to, to take a rest day, etc., but bullshite. I've grown much faster doing multiple days in a row then resting to grow. Works great.
Yes Arnold used roids but he turned his bodybuilding career into a legendary movie career. And rest of the bodybuilders remained bodybuilders and most people don't even know their name 🤣🤣🤣. Bodybuilders now just stuck in bodybuilding 🤣🤣🤣.
Doesnt look massive for me. If anything, it looks like Arnold had proportionally small calves for most of his career and was only on late 70s/early 80s that people with big quads and calves joined the bodybuilding competition. Imo what most people call genetics is simply not understanding that everyone had a pre formal training from calves since age 1. At the very moment you learned how to walk you were providing mechanical stimuli on calves, with impact higher on the teen agrs where competitive sports enter the scene and kids are encouraged to train runs and sprints. Those with bad calves genetics are simply people that had insufficient mechanical stimuli in their childhood and teen years and simply had to compensate for that.
Amazing genetics and tons of steroids allow to train with high volume Otherwise, constant fatigue, minimal gains over long period of time, and mental exhaustion
There are very few naturals that could benefit from the level of frequency that golden age bodybuilders did. 30 sets in one workout is going to be nearly impossible to continuously progress on. Trust me if you’re natural you’ll be much better off training with very high intensity and lowering volume
All the old bodybuilders of Arnold's time I'll speak of a time where Arnold went away back to Austria for 6 months and came back with monster calves! Evidence of calf transplantation
Let's be honest. Arnold's calves were still not up to par.... Training a muscle more than twice a week usually leads to overtraing unless you've decided to take gear...
BS more frequency does not equal more size. Your muscles grow when you rest not when you train. Sure you gotta train hard but you gotta rest even harder.
Today's bodybuilders say about calf genetics just as an excuse, look at all old school bodybuilder their calves were always proportional to their body.
if you train a mustle before its healed how does that work? steroids repair muscle damage quicker i believe so if your not on steroids u cant train calves daily and have them grow i doubt u can
I love how he motivated himself for this. He hated doing calves and thought his were puny and looked horrible. He was very self conscious about them. So to motivate himself he cut off the bottom of the legs on all of his pants and sweats etc so that he'd have to walk around with his calves on display every day. BEASTMO MINDSET😂 He would have been a good Marine if he'd been 5"6 like a normal person and not an ugly oversized freak 😅
Me and my whole family have huge calves, people say it's genetics, but I also argue that we all walk and run on our toes since the beginning in my family. I didn't wear shoes tell I was like 2 and a half and I didn't like them. I ran around bare foot on my toes and even when I was only 130lbs in highschool my calves were huge compared to people far above my weight
Yes, but the only way to recover and grow if you train one muscle group that often, is to be on juice.
You couldn’t have said it better. Thank you.
Exactly people are full of shit selling all sorts of "groundbreaking" workout programs, nutrition, etc, when the secret all along was juice.
Thanks for this recovery takes time without roids
