Thanks for these Only been using DBs/KBs on 1 leg at a time, some days I barely feel it no matter the weight Rigging up my landmine looks like a solid option to try out then

I leave my bar in squat position in my rack..leave on 45lb each side then use heavy bands on one side. I attach the band at the bottom and wrap around the barbell sleeve then put my shoulder under it and lift. I have a home built block I built and have but on serious size with this and tib work.

I've tried most of these over the years long before finding your video, *but I think the kettlebell bar might just be the winner for me this time.* I have my own and a brutal glute and sciatic nerve tear to heal, and just about everything other than a calf raise machine is ineffective and I don't currently have access to one.

Here’s to a full and speedy recovery! 🍻

I used to do the standing barbell calf raises, it helped me a lot not only with calfs but also for ankle stability, and I did the same with the seated calf raises, just squating with the barbell on my thights and doing seated calf raises while maintaining balance.

Amazing video! Hopefully I will sell my seated calves machine and save some space if any of these options work for me 😆

Now you know the secret!

Some good ideas here ..DIY brain is good .I think about safety before I start my gym sessions as if think about it while training I will loose the focus as you need to be 100% concentrated on what you doing...Now your exercises demonstrations "exercise" doesn't show much of the dorsi flexion ...Calves must be trained not only on plantar flexion but on dorsi as well which most of people won't stretch the calves on the eccentric phase and the result shows or should I say no show. Also calves muscles are used to heavy loads as we walking on them most of the day ..That really is important to show safe exercises on DIY pieces of equipment...safety is paramount ..so serious pulleys and cables , wire ropes , thimbles etc and everything that is built with wood needs steel reinforcement ...I made all my equipment this way and I'm 100% sure it will go well ...Functional equipment are the most important thing ..beauty come later :)

Out of all these options, do you really feel the calves is being heavily loaded? I just have some doubts about optimum angles of force to load the calves

@DesignBuildLift

Well - I am not a trainer- but I certainly “feel the burn”!

Good ideas but I have my doubts about the angle of your knee position. You have to sit higher to create a 90 degree angle. I'm pretty sure this is going to be more comfortable as well as more effective.

@DesignBuildLift

2 жыл бұрын

I agree! My “form” was not good in this video. For the seated calves exercises- I should have sat on something to elevate my body more to create that 90 degree angle (e.g., a balance pad, or foam puzzle piece mats, etc).

Great point about the angle as it not only makes the exercises more efficient but also spares you from knee and hip problems.👍

@justsotired4022

​​@@DesignBuildLiftAppreciate the fact that you accepted the suggestion about the angle of your seated exercises. We aren't all exercise "gurus" and if we're honest most of us struggle with proper technique and exercise execution at one point or another. A lot of great options to fit peoples' individual body structure and available equipment options.👍

while this is true I don't think it was the point of the video, was it? same goes for, say, nitpicking about the position of the calf block. the point was to demonstrate 12 ways to train calves in standing and seated positions using existing gym equipment next time, maybe just say thanks very much for the effort that you put into the ideas and the making of the video a little appreciation goes a long way - and besides, it's just good manners
