I used to do exactly what you stated was the incorrect way to workout your calves. I’m literally at the gym doing leg day and I just did 10-15 reps based off your guidance and holy shit! I’ve never felt my calves like this. Pushing your ankle forward is SUPER KEY!! My weight isn’t even heavy either. You don’t need it since you’re moving slowly at a 2 second hold top and bottom. Dude!!! Subbed!!! Thank you!! Keep teaching!!

The best vid I’ve seen for calf muscles, very helpful

Great technique. Never seen this calve description so well explained before. Thank you for your time.

Thank you so much! Great tips, loved the video/trainer.

Really informative and good video. Hope You do more videos for the quadriceps n hamstrings also. Thankyou for sharing this lovely video for the calves .

Thank you for explaining the difference between the Soleus and the calf and how they're trained. I do an exercise in my group fitness class with a bent knee that actually is training the Soleus and now I know the difference! Also thank you for those queuing tips. Pushing the ankle forward is an excellent way to describe the movement. Thank you for being so specific.

Really good video. Very informative, not time wasting bla bla. Been lifting and training and learning for over 20 years and could never really figure the calfs out. It goes to show that 'You can learn something new every day'. Liked, subscribed and looking forward to more of your videos. Keep up the good work mate. God bless

Out of all the vids I’ve seen this is by far the best one

I enjoyed this. Calm, simple, easy. Very little fluff. Easily digestible. Good shit

The Tempo:2-2-2-2 tip did work for me. Thanks so much.

Knowledgeable and to the point! Thanks.

The part about pulling the heels rather than going on the balls of your feet was very useful. I'd never heard that before, but now that I tried it, it feels like a much better workout. Looking forward to finally seeing some better progress in my calf growth!

Solid advice. Mind pump just keeps giving

Just came across your channel. Great content.

Great video👍 glad I watched it.

Thank you for the tips.

Seems like genetics has a lot to do with calf muscle size too, some guys have got naturally big calves, without even training them. I would suggest maximum weight you can handle on a calf raise machine or squat rack and train to fail or until your calf muscle is burning with lactic acid.

A weight heavy enough where you can perform slow full contraction then when then when cant do full contractions anymore began to do faster reps until the calf is burning. Doesn't matter position of foot focus on putting the pressure on your big toes only. Trust me it works. Ego lifting doing calves separate the calfs from the calf nots.😂🤣

The first title felt like a personal attack 🤣 but the tips and demo are spot on. My favorite part is where you show the wrong way or how to tell if you’re doing it wrong. Thanks Danny!

I remember when i first started growing my calves to where they are now, i focused on more of the soleus specific workouts and training and that really help in my gains. rather than just what was primarily done aka gastrocnemius specific workouts.

Slow controlled contractions with moderate weight until your form breaks the continue with faster reps until the burn sets in. Train 4- 5 days a week the first thing ever visit to the gym. Preferably slippers or a flat shoe and focus all of the tension on your big toes regardless of foot position. Dont count reps with calfs, its a about the burn and getting to your next set in under 25 seconds. The muscle recovers quickly and u have to keep attacking it.

Great, any suggestions on arch pain or posterior tibialis tendinitis?

Thanks so much!

Nice video👍

Finally someone talking the common sense of HIT principles. Also try even slower, which reduces momentum which therefore increases load on the muscles, and take it to complete muscle failure. If you achieve that, then one or two sets are enough. See Drew Baye and John Little for more

Great job

Thank you 👍

Thanks 👍

Pulling heels up is the best advice for calf training I've received

Thanks 🙏

Alright, before I correct semi pointless mistakes. Well done!! Great information! Now, the calf muscle is actually TWO muscles. The soleus and the gastrocnemius. But, turning into a semantics argument on this would destroy the great info on this video. Love it!! Again, WELL DONE.

thank you!

I'm going to try these next time we have body conditioning and when I go the gym.

I loved this video, thank you for the tips! Quick question for anyone who can answer, what Nike’s is he wearing??? Lol

lol I didn't know that I did it wrong. Thanks for this.

Sounds reasonable. Not kidding, most other advice says seated, heavy calf raises lol. Glad I've been standing this whole time and trying not to bounce...../ So I've edited this comment a few short weeks later to say that this does work. I get 3x the burn in half the reps. You can feel the difference. Far less achiles and supporting calf muscle involvement. It's all about pushing forward with your heel. Knees slightly bent works best for me. It's like a concentration curl for your calf. Do it.

Even today I saw a guy doing opposite you are saying, tomorrow I’m about to tell him. Thx 🙏🏾

He won’t take it well

Do you lock your knees straight or do you bend your knees a little when doing calf raise?

thanks bro

Thoughts for when the heel does not go to the ground. It almost stays level when doing calf raises on stairs. I'm guessing the Achilles Tendons are really tight but I'm not sure.

Thanks ..

Is it okay to also go really heavy now and then even if for just a couple reps? I don't want to tear anything

should i target my soleus primarily if im trying to grow the whole area in my legs?

More blood flow more groth mount climbing and progsive over lode and more reps and isometric holds ,unilateral work jump rope .

what about train at different angle such as: make a v for outer calf and close for inner calves

Wow! How can I become a client?

where did you get your shoes?

joss almeida I would avoid that approach. Save the calves for a time in your training where they can get undivided attention. Plus, fatiguing them will no doubt lower the quality of your other leg training - hence no suppersetting.

I had a violent sneeze which made the pressure point on the right side of my right calf knot up like a small pecan and my lower back exploded with pain and wound up in the emergency room. 16 weeks ago I had L-4 L-5 S-1 ALIF FUSION ten years after the event. I haven't been able to do calf raises on my right since the event which makes my other muscles over compensate and makes my hip hurt. How do I get my calf muscle to fire and function correctly. I sure it's a slow process but I'm disciplined. Nobody seems to have clue.

How often can I/ should I train calves?
