Yup, squat frequency has most people screaming "heresy!" Trust me, I'm right now looking at Smolov Squatting, which is a squat only training cycle that gets your squat up over 50 lbs in a cycle. The guy has you squatting 4 times a week ass to the grass. This program isn't that bad.
Calves will definately respond to the olympic squatting freq., but if you want, after you finish the requirements for that day with the 5x5, you can always blast them. My preference with calves is the DC method. Only one giant set and you're done:
-Exposive concentric
-4 second negative
-10 second stretch (try and point toes back to body)
-Repeat these steps for 12 DC reps.
