-- Neglecting them — Because they are so hard to build and covered with pants most of the time, calves are often neglected, so they start lagging even more
behind other bodyparts.
As a rule of thumb, for a given number of reps rest intervals should be 60 - 80 % of the ones prescribed
for other bodyparts, the upper range being for stronger individuals.
You'll have to agree that It is easier to pound the chest or arms with heavy weights and many sets than calves, even though they need to be worked with the same (if not more) intensity than
other bodyparts.
Q: I'd like to try a training cycle to bring up my arms, which are lagging behind
my other bodyparts.
They invoke confidence, strength, and a sense of presence like
no other bodypart.
Like
every other bodypart, training smart is the key for developing a big pair of arms.
Traps are great for this because working them won't really interfere with
any other bodyparts you happen to be working.
I'll also say that while doing this as he suggested,
all other bodyparts were restricted to blood - feeder, non-count slow pump reps speeding up to fast, ballistic drive reps to failure, with a lightish weight.
