I love pecs and delts. I also pin quads, although that occasionally goes awry and leaves me walking funny for a couple of days. Every now and then I'll also hit my lats and plan on trying traps soon.
I'd never do calves. I remember watching a special once on a dude who had to get his legs amputated below the knees thanks to calve injections gone wrong.

"Hazelton got work as a bodyguard and as security for musical acts. He was on tour with Van Halen in 1986 when someone noticed that the back of his left leg looked all wet through his clothes.
“I sat down on a stool and looked at it, and the calf was split open. There was just dead meat there,” Hazelton said. “It looked like someone took a knife and cut it open. It was infected, and the pus was spilling out.”
He flew back home to Florida and saw a doctor.
Two days later, doctors amputated his left leg above the knee.
It wasn’t a wake-up call.
“I went off the juice after that, but I was still working out,” Hazelton said. “Nine months later, I was trying to get back to work, to go on tour with Heart in Europe. So I started taking steroids again to make sure I was big and strong enough. I was even taking steroids for horses.”
Three weeks later, his right leg swelled up.
“Doctors told me gangrene had already sank in,” Hazelton said. “It was completely clotted up. They would have to take that leg, too.”
Granted that guy was admittedly on a shitload of juice and likely pinning like a moron, but still. I think I'll pass.
That's some scary shit right there.
