WHAT IS THE BEST CALF BUILDING WORKOUT? BE DESCRIPTIVE (SETS, REPS, ETC).
The best calf building workout does not and should not have to be long and complicated. There is no noticeable benefit from doing many sets of various types of calf exercises. Unlike chest, legs, and triceps there is only 1 way to work each muscle of the calf. Standing motions that raise your body up with toes will work the gastrocnemius; seated calf raises will work your soleus, reverse calf raises will work your tibialis anterior.
Basically the best calf building workout consists of exercises done to work each section of the calf. The workout looks like this:
BEST CALF BUILDING WORKOUT:
MONDAY - 15 REPS, 3 SETS
Barbell Seated Calf Raise - Soleus
Smith Machine Reverse Calf Raises - Tibialis anterior
Standing Barbell Calf Raise - Gastrocnemius
THURSDAY - 6 REPS, 3 SETS
Seated Calf Raise - Soleus
Smith Machine Reverse Calf Raises - Tibialis anterior
Standing Dumbbell Calf Raise - Gastrocnemius
This is the whole calf building workout. Note that on Monday there are 15 reps listed, while on Thursday there are 6 reps listed. This is done because Monday's calf workout is aimed to build size while Thursday's workout is aimed to increase strength. You should use maximum weight for the reps done, thus on Monday you will use less weight than on Thursday. As your calves get stronger, continue to increase the weight.

Lets take a look on lunges workout
Stand with your torso upright holding two dumbbells in your hands by your sides. This will be your starting position.
Step forward with your right leg around 2 feet or so from the foot being left stationary behind and lower your upper body down, while keeping the torso upright and maintaining balance. Inhale as you go down. Note: As in the other exercises, do not allow your knee to go forward beyond your toes as you come down, as this will put undue stress on the knee joint. Make sure that you keep your front shin perpendicular to the ground.
Using mainly the heel of your foot, push up and go back to the starting position as you exhale.
Repeat the movement for the recommended amount of repetitions and then perform with the left leg.
Caution: This is a movement that requires a great deal of balance so if you suffer from balance problems you may wish to either avoid it or just use your own bodyweight while holding on to a fixed object. Definitely never perform with a barbell on your back if you suffer from balance issues.
Variations: There are several ways to perform the exercise.
One way is to alternate each leg. For instance do one repetition with the right, then the left, then the right and so on.
The other way is to do what I call a static lunge where your starting position is with one of your feet already forward. In this case, you just go up and down from that starting position until you are done with the recommended amount of repetitions. Then you switch legs and do the same.
A more challenging version is the walking lunges where you walk across the room but in a lunging fashion. For walking lunges the leg being left back has to be brought forward after the lunging action has happened in order to continue moving ahead. This version is reserved for the most advanced athletes.
Lunges can be performed with dumbbells as described above or with a barbell on the back, though the barbell variety is better suited for the advanced athletes who have mastered the exercise and no longer have balance issues.
