I’m watching this while on the leg press machine 😆

Bouncing like that is just working the achilles.

4 sets, 20 reps. Hold for 5 seconds in full extenstion. 30 seconds to 1 minute rest

amazing thank you

Thank you :)

I've been doing calf raises on a smith machine with a step underneath to increase the range of motion. It's way more comfortable than those stand up calf raise machines IMO. However, I still feel some pressure on my knees, perhaps because I'm keeping my legs too straight instead of slightly bending them.

You mentioned that for vertical jump training you do calf raises in a quick motion. Would you recommend that to a beginner who wants to improve their vert as well or would you recommend some combination of slow and quick calf raises

This jist hurts the balls of my feet and does nothing for my calves. What am i doing wrong? Aha.

New to an actual gym here- doesn't putting more distribution towards the back less effective results wise? Or does that make it more effective for beginners by triggering more than the localized area?

This was incredibly useful since the actual calf press machine at our gym is to light

Didn't even think of trying this! Thank you!

This is exactly

Sweet, thanks 😅🙏 ❤

LOL, that's what I do at PF because their dedicated calf machine is always "out of service".

Wowww nice thanks

I think this will be my new alternative to standing calf raises. I don't like this machine using it for the upper legs though.

What if I have a huge calf, and just want to tone it?

While performing for calf, my toe feels the strain more than the calf muscles. Is it normal for all, or am I doing it wrong?

What happens if your feet slip through the bottom

When I do calf raises I only feel it on the outer sides of my lower calf
