I did about 2000 calf raises yesterday, how long do I have to wait before I see results, and should I do some calf raises(1060) today
This is to jump the highest, not to have bulging calves

2,000 calf raises a day? It sounds like you might be overdoing it, which actually can work against you.

Wait until your soreness is gone, then forget about the calf raises. If you want to improve your jumping ability do plylometrics. You do this by jumping as high as you can come down with bent knees, then immediately jump up. Do this 3-6 times. It's better to start with squats. Do 3 sets of 10. After you put on some muscle, you can start with the plylometrics.

You shouldnt be able to do 2000 in one day. Lift Heavier. Anyways, to answer your question, work calves/quads/hams each once a week like over the weekend.
