I've been training my calves (calf muscles) for about 3 months, and I dont think they have grown. From my knee down, my legs are skinny and I dont want to be one of those dudes with a big upper body and skinny legs. What exercises do you recommend and how many days should I train them a week?

Ive been using machines once a week for calves and been doing incline walking 3 times a week.

well adjust the weight according to your strength

for each excercise, you need to do 5 sets. but alternate reps.

1st set: 20 reps
2nd set: 10 reps
3rd set 20 reps
4th set: 10 reps
5th set: 20 reps

work em twice a week,preferably 3 day gap between

20 and 10, damn i do like 50 calf raises and then start to feel it, on the toes and not touchin the heel when i go down.
But dont forget about squats, hang clean somewhat and so forth. When I first started working on my vert I was all obsessed with calves but didn't see anything out on the court so I read up and did some squats, lunges, hang clean, some others, but dont leave out the core excercises. I got most of it from those.

add more weight if u can do that much.

squats is the best lower body excercise.

Obviosuly those two exercices are the way 2 go, but I don't think 5 sets are really necessary - after all it depens on your body.
