sports specific training with no calve work?
you mind telling me how thats possible?
especially for martial arts specific training, footwork is one of the most important things in any sport. i can hardly imagine you training good footwork without extensive calve work supplementing it.
but, if you want a good calve workout, i suggest you jump rope a lot, do calve raises weighted and un weighted, lots of plyometric jumping exercises, and run/sprint, uphill/regular, weighted unweighted, and on your toes.if you run on your toes you use your calves a lot more instead of going heel to toe.
plyometric jumping exercises, sprint uphill on your toes, and jump rope are probably the best ones in terms of sports specific functionality and great calve workout.
