I'm just simplifying it and saying that overload equals change. And that change produces the adaptation that equals growth. AGREED

I also include overload in the concept of variety (Overload, Reps Range, Tempo, etc) but since you wont be able to use an heavier charge week after week after week (You would be able to lift a house in less than 5 years this way)… that's why variety of Exercises, Tempo and Reps Range is so important.

I love a good calves thread. They are my weakest body part, but I've made some improvements using the method below.
Super heavy top end partials on standing calf machine - two sets both in the 30-50 rep range.
The theory behind this one is a bit strange, but the most servere muscle soreness I've ever experienced in my calves came from polynesian style dancing at a concert where I spent almost 20 minuntes on tip toes bouncing up and down. So I'm trying to simulate that activity in the gym.
I think with calves, and other muscles of course, that you have to work out the nuances of movement (angle, ROM etc) that are most effective for you. For example, for me, going all the way down on calves feels like a big tendon stretch rather than anything productive for muscle growth.
