Work them hard, heavy, light, high reps, low reps, standing, sitting, feet in, feet out...these muscles are the trickiest to build, but you have to hit them from all different angles and different ways. STRETCH them good, don't over-work them. I had tiny, tiny calves for most of my life and from doing the above, i was able to start bringing them out more...sure, genetics play a huge part, but this regimine will help defy genetics. Sitting heavy calves are good for bulk, or at least bringing them out. Good luck and I feel your pain.

May the lift be with you.

thanks for the info j delts....would it help to prioritize them and work them in the beginning of my workout...so that I can devote alot of energy towards them? I have read that this is a good way to bring out lagging body parts...

try staggered sets. this is for example like your doing say chest and back or whatever. so you do your benching then instead of doing a back/chest exercise you do a set of calves. then go on to your normal workout and do say incline presses. then do another set for calves, could be the same exercise just like switch your toe position. and keep doing this until youve finished your normal chest/back workout or whatever. this helps a lot to do every now and then but dont over do it.
