Like any other muscle group, calves and quads are susceptible to overtraining. Why don't you check out ft's list of calf and leg exercises?

For calved to grow you have to go heavy with full range of motion. Most people I see in the gym use 50 pounds and only move about an inch for the motion. BAD!

Genetics determine the size of your calves as well.....

Also try small jumps on your toes with a dumbell in your hand. This buuuuurns!!
