For the longest time I've been doing barbell calf raises for 3x16 with minimal results. Then I found out about elevated calf raises, so I used a thick wooden board. Results were better but there was still room for improvement.
Then as I was reading about old school bodybuilding routines I came across one from Clancy Ross, who noted that he specifically targeted his legs, which were lagging behind compared to his upper body. Judging from the before and after pictures it seemed like whatever he was doing for calves worked, and that was 1 set of 100 reps of calf raises, using 90% of his total squat weight. So I tried to emulate it with elevated calf raises and by 30 reps I was fucking done. Still pushed through, doing 3 sets of 30 reps and the pump was insane. The next morning I felt the most intense calf doms in my life. I know muscle insertions play a huge role in calves, but I'm actually optimistic this time. I'll report back with exact measurements in 3 months.
>tl;dr
3x30 elevated calf raises or 1x100 normal calf raises

Sadly not true for me, I've ran, sprinted and hiked uphill along with my usual barbell training and didn't notice any increase in mass. The trail runners I've come across in my hikes had huge calves however, although a thin and wiry upper body.

Thats easy, just do leg press machine Calf Raise with the seat set at a high angle.
Pause set - Focus on the stretch at the bottom.
Rep range between 15 - 30 aiming for failure.
you're welcome.

specifics are necessary nigga cause 3 sets of 16 is already considered high volume

My calves are nothing to write home about (yet), the only indication that this might work is the instense DOMS
