Cals are great for warm-up, maintaining muscle tone, and even for finishing off a punishing weight training session. (Well . . . you could use a weight vest to add resistance to your cals--that would help build muscle mass.) What you really need is a well-rounded upper body workout, and incorporate drop-sets every so often. If you don't have access to a powerrack with olympic-style barbells, you could use dumbbells. Kettelbells are also good; they add variety to your workouts, and are properly performed so that you are in the aerobic training range much of the time.
