What I'll be performing here is a barbell calf raise. You want to put a barbell behind the neck. What you want to do is stretch out to your tippy toes, flex your calves, and then come back down and get a good stretch. Flex up, back down for a good stretch. You want to continue this. I recommend high reps for the calves. If you're doing extremely heavy weight then you want to keep it low reps of about 6-8, high reps about 10-15. You want to do about 3-4 sets. One thing you want to make sure is that you concentrate on flexing the calf on top and getting a good stretch on the bottom. If you want to you could point your calves towards each other to work the outer area of the calves. Bring them all the way up. Good flex. Bring them down for a good stretch. And that's how you perform barbell calf raises.
