Weak Point Training

Today was calves- the muscle I have training, over-trained, annihilated, pushed and done everything I can think and read of for, and seemingly to no avail (until one of my clients recently saw me in shorts and cursed and said, "Man I've never seen you not wearing sweat pants. Your calves are insane!") Yes, I was blessed by my God with many things- nice round muscles, a good shape.... But my calves are genetically sad.... Ha Ha, a challenge!
So I'm doing a semi- Dorian Yates style for my calves here for a little while and see what happens. Yates style is low volume and HIGH intensity. This is the workout this morning:
calf press: 90-30; 180-10; 270-10; 360-10; 450-27 good reps to total failure plus 2 drop-sets
Smith machine calf raise: 180-10; 270- 13 good reps to total failure + 2 rest-pause sets
seated calf raise: 70-15; 140- I don't know how many, around 15 + a bunch of assisted reps
