i have asked about this topic a few months ago, but i was just left with one question in mind...
by stretching the calve between sets, and reps, can you slighty increase the length or muscle belly of the calve?

I asked a trainer the same thing. Told me its not true; the muscle cannot grow in length by stretching. You can only get it bigger or leaner.

3 inches of growth in 6 months is no joke. I suggest keep doing what your doing, something is going right!

idk chris, i sure do hope to attain your calves one day down the road...
all i really did was just go as heavy as possible for as long as i can with 10-15 seconds of rest at maximum since the calves tend to recover as one fothe fasyesy bodyparts i believe ..
