With most muscles you do around 10 reps with so much weight that you are close to failure. That's the standard weight lifting recipe for average people. But when it comes to abs and calfs I hear so many different things.

Some say you can work them every day. Do they not need one day rest like other muscles?

Some say just do as many reps as you can without using any weight. Sometimes I hear people say you need progressive overload for abs aswell. Adding weight to ab workout seems a bit clunky and I never see anyone do it at the gym. Do you not need progressive overload?

Calfs are easier to work with progressive overload, but I see people recommending doing high reps. Is just doing as many as you can without weight the best strategy here too?
