HOW KEN WALLER GREW 3 INCHES ON HIS CALVES! KEN WALLERS SIMPLE & EFFECTIVE OLD SCHOOL CALF WORKOUT! 

When i was younger i met Waller at the original Golds Gym We would often train together and became good friends but that all ended after we entered the same competition, we had a big bust up because he stole something from me. We still don't speak to each other and i hate him to this day. My name is Mike Katz.

Wish all videos were this informative and direct. 👍

Sad see bodybuilding no longer requires calf-to-arm balance

Hope you’re enjoying your old school gym. Good job today.

Ken Waller is one of my all-time favorite bodybuilders from the Golden Era. What a great shape and symmetry...a true Champ. Nice video. Thanks for posting, Peace, Sal.

Calves are probably the only musclegroup that I've notice that never loses size even when I stop training them directly. I remember doing a lot of calf raises and building them up to a very solid size. Then I stopped training for health reasons but my calves didn't atrophy. I was still taking walks regularily which is the reason to that. I should add my diet was also absolutely terrible during this time (several years).

I used to have a little rounded step in my shower in my former house and did calf raises every day for about two years, I was starting to see the two parts of the muscle. Then I moved and stopped doing regularly for not having a good base. I just bought a wooden block and I will do the round edge, looks like a great idea, big thanks.

Always a great video Buddy. Keep hitting it hard. Remember always....can't out-train a bad diet.

Best bodybuilding channel on yt! If you have other calves workouts please share💪

Thought he loved done donkey calf raises with 5 burns at top and bottom to make lower calves pop out. I absolutely got that swift calf blocks last year same as your blocks and it's brilliant because that round edge! It did got my calves on fire more than flat edge blocks.

Once apon a time ken waller loaded so much weight on the leg press machine, he cracked a rib. That is strength.

Can you make a video about how old school bodybuilders increase their bench press weight

Another good piece 👌 Thanks GB keep it coming💪💯

I always wondered why Ken Waller rarely gave interviews. He was a good bodybuilder in the 1970's and 1980's.

That video was wonderful dude! I have been struggling the last few months trying to find some sort of calf workout as mine just do not seem to be responding to anything. The blocks could be the thing to shake them up a bit and get some growth....as should the breathing calf exercise. Thank you.

At around 20-21 years old I increased my calves 3" in about one year from 13" to 16". They topped out at 16-3/4"-17" cold depending on the day. I'd been limited in calf work, doing squats and seated calves. When I joined a gym and had a nice standing calf machine they took off. 1 heavy set to failure once a week or so.

I do the seated calf raises 5 day a week & standing 3 times a week with a good stretch and squeeze, 15 plus reps for seated calfs and standing calfs for 8 plus reps. I've noticed some gains. Humble yourself with the weight tho 👍🏻. Also the seated gets your soleus stronger/power, while the standing calfs raises is for size/mass

It's difficult to find commercial gyms with a standing calf unit, and I've never seen a gym with a donkey calf unit. Many gyms have only seated calf units. As a 67-year-old who began no-anabolic steroids bodybuilding at age 15 in 1971 and is still bodybuilding today, over fifty-two years later, I've always struggled to build calves. Determined, I bought a standing calf unit, which could be loaded over 600 lbs with 50-pound standard plates, for my first home gym about forty-seven years ago. Later, I gave that unit away, then constructed my own calf machine for my current home gym. I used a bench with a leg curl unit, modified that unit with longer, heavier pipes to accomodate many more plates (both standard and Olympic), safely counterweighted the opposite end, built an H-shaped 8" high calf-block with 2X4 lumber for my feet, and use a custom-made hip belt to which I added extremely strong snap-hooks to attach the load to myself. It easily accomodates well over 600 lbs of plate. With this calf machine, I can do not only standing calf raises, steadying my balance on a heavy wooden pole I emplace in the opening of the pipe of the leg curl unit, but can also do donkey calf raises by removing that pole, using extra padding under the hip belt for my hips and lower back, leaning over, and propping my upper body on the bench. It functions as well as any commercial unit I've ever used. I have the luxury of leaving it set up, plates and all, all the time. I've been using it for the past twenty years in the home gym I have currently.

Great video! My calves are very lean and vascular, but I’d like them to be larger. I’m going to try training them every day rather than just twice a week.

Wonderful, informative video... as always. Thank you!

Fantastic video with some very useful information. Will definitely give this workout a go. Definitely would be amazing if I could put on 3 inches onto my lame calves.

definitely giving this a try!

Great video! Could you do more on Ken Waller sometime?

Thanks for the time you take in giving us this great info. My question is......Should seated calf raises be done before standing/donkey calf raises, or after.

I’m going to try this, I workout only 3 times a week though so less days. Even without more days I won’t be able to walk for months.

Great video as usual Carlos. Going to the gym with the same training partner every day doing donkey calf raises. That’s comitment lol.

Nonsense , Waller was born w big calves !!!

Thanks for the topic! I have a question please : is expanding the rib cage causing lung problems like COPD?

I like the donkey calve raise, I feel it creates more thickness to the calve than any other exercise

I have a question, why has nobody made a bentover calf raises machine?

To get huge calves Train them everyday for 7 days then take 5 days off and repeat again for 7 days then take 4 days off then go and train them 3 days aweek heavy and hard and trust me,my calves got HUGE doing that. Alot of people cant handle that type of routine tho cause its BRUTAL, Heavy Standing Calf Raises, Donkey Calf Raises & Vertical Leg Press Calf Raise are the only 3 exercises you need,if you are worried about the Soleus DONT cause the Vertical Leg Press Calf Raise will take care of it

All i do is 5 sets of 20rep calves raise 5 days a week of sat and sun

For some reason most gyms in my area don’t have standing calf machines so annoying

Im 5 ft 11 280lbs an have 20 inch calves when pump bit mt arms are only 18 inch

Don't let your calves become cows. Said Mike Mentzer.

Nowadays, Ken wears orthopedic shoes.
