3 Calf Exercises YOU NEED TO BE DOING (BODYWEIGHT!)

Ready to blow those calves up?
I ran through my top 3 calf exercises that you can easily do at home and get some serious results. The biggest takeaways are that you can really leverage your own bodyweight or put your calf in an extreme stretch position to really create an intense contraction.
Let me know what you think and what video you want next.

Truth
The deep squat calf raise is a killer. I just finished doing them and they worked my calf muscles better than any seated calf machine I have ever used. 👍👍
I love how you are just straight to the point and don’t try to drag videos out into 10mins or longer like other people.
Calves are like the most elusive muscle. At least for me. Lol These are so different 🔥 Thanks again! Needed these. 💯

When you ride a bike you can get some nice calves Personally the back muscles are my least trained ones, because I don't have a pull up bar

Did it help gain size?
This comment is not specific to this video. I just want to say I found your channel a few months ago and man, your emphasis on partials, angles, and contractions have added new dimensions to my working out. I love it and thank you. Keep rocking.
Another great video brother. I’m 55 and have had leg injuries so I can’t do the first 2 but will definitely try the 3rd one. Thanks and keep them coming.
Thanks for another fantastic out of the gym workout tips video. I especially liked the concise and fully demonstrated tutorial style of the video to point out exactly how to do the exercises with the best targeted form. Thanks again Ryan; looking forward to your program.
Omg holy Ryan, i asked you and you made a video, thx!
Awesome content as always. Ryan's content made a huge impact on me and made my workouts pretty less boring and cliché. I was wondering maybe there would also be a home exercise for fat burning. Would be really helpful. Keep up! 🤟🏻
I’ve been neglecting my calves during quarantine. This will help
Good day, I ll be watching your videos and used a lot of different technics of yours. Have been hitting a plateau for a while and your tricks help me a lot. I would like to see a video on what kind of HIIT we can do at home. Inside or outside. Thanks a lot! Keep the good work!
Holy crap bro I've been looking for a good calf workout for a while good thing I found you it looked so little but I didn't take into consideration to the body weight really takes a toll
Funny I saw this today, it’s leg day. I’ll incorporate these into my workout today. Thanks 💪🏼
Great Exercises Ryan! You the Man!!
2:24 me with a completely straight face: "that is objectively the funniest thing I've ever heard."
Excelentes formas de entrenar y congestionar las pantorrillas. Gracias por mostrarnos entrenamientos tecnicos y enfoques innovadores. Gracias.
Jesus! I got more burn doing these than anything I’ve done before! 10/10👍
Subbed and clicked all notifications. May I ask how many reps and sets should i be doing these for? Same question with regards to both home workout for glutes. Thank you for the great vids!
Keep up the good work man 💪🏿
Cheers fer this, glad ta see a good calf training video :)
Awesome! Thanks! Just what I needed. Rock on! 🤟🤟🤟
simple, easy to remember, thanks!!
I always work on calves, but some of these were new to me. Thanks!!
Why does body weight exercises seem more painful or harder than doing weights / resistance?

Because your body is the weight and it's unstable, so you have to balance it - making the exercise so much harder than using barbells/dumbbells or machines which are pre-balanced.

Could you do more workouts that work on calves? I’ve been trying so hard forever and I’ve had minimal growth
This guys the best!
Thanks for the awesome videos I love your fresh approach. What brand are your black camo shorts, they’re awesome
Great... just did my dumbbell leg workout yesterday.. might as well add to my crippling pain
Awesome video 👌 great tips I've never seen before
Ryan is inspiration 😝💪🏼
Dude, these are legit!
squatting down like that really stretches them out I never thought about repetitions from that position. Also it's good to stretch the calf's on day you aren't working them. I like to use a lat machine by running the cable down and up via the lower wheel and using a small straight tricep bar placed on the knees along with a pillow of course. I then place my feet on the pegs while sitting on a bench that can be height adjusted and do my raises like that at different height levels on the bench. I've gotten some really good pumps/results with this approach. For some of you who just can't seem to get those calf's growing no matter what a little pump and pose doesn't hurt just please don't over do that stuff!
I tried these and boy do they work! Awesome
"Than...you're wrong." Love this guy
I definitely need to improve my calf and ankle flexibility. But dang, Ryan's flexibility and balance is pretty good for his size.
Thanks for this. This really helped.
Excellent advice 👍💪
The last exercise is the hardest you just start losing balance and start trembling 😤🤜
I have monster calves and I never work them. The first calf workout from Ryan I strained the shit out of my right calf and was limping the next day. Best calf workout ever.
Thanks Ryan, I was looking for other excercises for claves, u fucking rock man. Also the glutes excercises are killing me man hahah, thanks again
Ryan, What sports did you play growing up, if any? You seem very athletic. Also, do you run for cardio?
Rye guy you are the Best!
Going to do these, gyms are shutting in England again. So thank
Excellent video!
Thanks Ryan Could you do a lower chest or lat video?
Hey Ryan thanks for such great exercises, pls do suggest no. Of reps and sets with all exercises thanks .
The squatted calf raise hits the outer portion of the calves insanely. They've made my calves look very muscular from the front view. For the inner calf, do them on a step with a slightly wider than shoulder stance, knees locked.

I'm starting to prefer unilateral training. I really like the Soleus lunge calf raise Ryan does here! It is a bit difficult to see, but is the trailing leg supposed to be off the ground for the duration of the set? I'm going to start doing this exercise on a regular basis and see how it works for me. I'm getting tired of doing seated calf exercises with dumbbells!....LOL.
Can you make a video or give advice on strengthing adductors and abductors? I'm trying to heal from this groin strain
Thanks, calves have always been a hard gainer, love the one liners ha ha !
Seriously how do you not have more views? It's an absolute travesty, videos lean, exercises are mean, am following your advice to the T and I am an absolute machine. Insha'Allah your voice reaches the masses. Dude make some t shirts "Get after it, Get growing" I'd happily wear that sh*t to the gym. And to everyone else that has the good sense to follow this man's great advice, stay safe, continue growing and God willing we all get through this with minimal casualties. Ameen
Enjoyed destroying my calves + a copy of 'fifty shades' with this one, made a killer primer for full leg sets. 'Proof that a few quality inches can take a lady miles'..can't wait for the next video!
Hey Rayan, I just have two pairs of small dumbbells and tow 10 kg plates and I really struggling to train my traps. Can you please make a video on that. Greetings from middle east ❤
Thank you, sir. Thank you for this quick, good, no-bs video 🫡
Thank you top man! 👍
cool man cheers from mexico .. WE love your vids
Can you do a video on nutrition please ☺
keep your videos under 3 minutes and I will watch and like them all.
exactly what I need. let's go
Good one!💪
Does this work practically for growth or just for time being in quarantine? 🤔
I used to do that first exercise explosively when I trained martial arts. PAAAAIIIIIN!
Yes Ryan
Hello Ryan...can you please advise on supplements? At this moment I am only taking whey protein.Any other supplements which can help on my muscle growth?
Nice, thanks

WONDERFUL. CONCISE. 🎯
Can we get another calisthenics-based/extension required calf raise video on growth itself?
do you prefer to work out barefoot or in gym shoes? I wouldn't go barefoot in a public gym of course but see a lot of guys exercising barefoot. My ankles are tight and everyone does vids about everything else other than ankles and wrists which in my opinion is 2 of the most critical parts of the body that need development in order to better ones form when exercising. Can you do a mobility or vid about ankles, wrists and other joints that would help? No one has put anything out latley that is helpful and once all these gyms reopen, its gonna get real and I want to make sure my bodies joints are ready for the beating I'm going to give it! My home gym is nice but my gym has amazing machines that my body hasn't been around in just over 2 months so Im preparing to be exhausted and getting mentally ready for the pain that most of us love! Makes me feel alive and I crave that pain! Thanks man, you're the best literally!!!
Those were Awesome and just in time cause because I have only been doing tippy toes.
loved it
GOD BLESS YOU!!!!
Hi I'd like to know which supplements you'd recommend
Hi Ryan. Love your content and your training mentallity. I'm 50 years old. I have a question about training forearms and calves. I started to train my forearms again. I train them everyday and I love it. Is it okay to train them everyday? I didn't really feel my calves using machines and weights. So your body weight calves video inspired me to train them with only body weigth using steps of the stairs. I have a good mind muscle connection now and really feel them now. Is it okay to train them everyday and/or when they are still sore? Greetings from Amsterdam

yes it is fine as long as you have a rest day once a week :)
That just goes to show the role of genetics. Ive never even thought about putting my foot on a book at all different angles to hit the muscle group nor do i do much for them. I would throw you under the bus in calf game though(thats about it ha). Love your content though short and to the point.
Can you do some exercises about flexibility? I'm the only one in my family that isn't flexible
Great video
what type of book should i use? does it matter?
amazing
What are the names for these excersises?
0:45 I can't sit on my calfs flat footed, is there a stretching or exercise i can do since it looks like a great way to work your calf anywhere
Finally!!!! In the comment section ,we didn't hear someone complaining , you would show this video now, I just did calves!! Or arms. Or chest. Or. LMAO everytime!!
I reached rep 3 on the first one. MOTHER OF ALL CALF CRAMPS🔥 Also, perfect timing! Leg day later's gonna be lit!
I used to be one of those people that thought the only body weight movement for calves was straight leg calf raises...Used to be.
What are those Reebok shoes you have called?...I like em.
As soon as I found it I realized my foot was numb from trying to find a bodyweight calves exercise
I use to do Smith machine squats, 135lb, up on me toes the entire time....high reps
The calf raise in deep squat feels like a blood flow restriction calf raise. It gives a massive pump and so much pain!

Who else thought the first calf exercise made them wanna die they hurt so good!
These are dope
How can I make the deep squat calf raise more difficult? Not strong enough for a single leg, just want to make it a little harder.
I can't quite tell on the 1st one, do your feet go all the way to the floor?
so cool
Very nice
