Overall I'm pretty much where I want to be when it comes to aesthetics, but my calfs could use some....a lot of work. I wasn't blessed like some dudes who naturally got those big calfs. What are some workouts y'all do to really work your calfs?

Calf raises...but calves are tough. Most brehs don't have the genetics for great looking calves. You'll see brehs with 40" verticals but chicken legs. Black bodybuilders tend to have advantages in every area BUT calves.
Anything involving jumping can help, though there are obvious limits.

Running on the balls of my feet developed my calves. They are pretty defined considering the fact I don't do any isolation exercise for them.

I got my calves from cycling (bicycle) over the years.
I think it takes high volume to get calves...
...or be Asian.

fukk my calves. Played soccer for 10 years, ran, cycled, and isolated them with weights and they still look small as fukk.
Mean while some lazy fat fukk at my job has calves the size of a basketball

Toughest body part to build
Crazy thing is you can do calf raises everyday and squat 400lbs but people will think you don’t work legs because your calf’s are small
The pain

try this
If you got shytty calf insertions, you can only do so much.
I have high calf muscles so the lower 1/2 of my calves, ain't no damn muscle to work out
But I've seen dudes with even worse situations. Calves look like they were born without muscle there.
Then you got the genetically blessed whose calf muscle starts damn near at their ankle. It is what it is. I think people with shorter legs have bigger calves, I'm a short dude but my legs are like 2/3 my body. Whereas I've seen people more proportional, like half lower body, half upper.
Don't worry yourself about it too much, people without real knowledge of bodybuilding always like to point out calves if you are solid in every other area. It's the only way they can poke fun at you or make themselves feel better about themselves.
