I'm feeling a little used to and bored with my shoulder and calf workouts. For shoulders i do overhead dumbbell press and side and front raises. For calves i just do a calf press machine. Does anyone have some good mass gaining workouts for shoulders or calves?

shoulders-military press or db overhead press
upright rows or lateral raises
rear delt rows or rear delt flys
total around 6-10 sets
calves-calf raises-6 sets total with any variations
both can be split between other workout days and claves alternate between high and low reps

you do not need to do front raises , you are hitting enough of your front delts when you do bench press , incline bench press and push ups
front delts also gets worked while you do military press
why dont you try upright rows ?

not for bodybuilders but it depends on persons to persons clean and press is power lifter's movement , if you are looking for hypertrophy training , better stick with compound movements instead of clean and press there are chances you may get injured if you do heavy clean and press , you have to incorporate strict form , it takes time to master the form hence it is better to stay away from it in my opinion and stick with compound movements like military press and upright rows |

It's therefore not a powerlifting movement. Now, it is a strongman movement, as log presses. :3 |

And trainers won't be recommending any movement that goes overhead; so they won't be recommending the clean and press.  |
