Seated Calf Raises
Developing the Muscles of the Legs
1) To begin, sit down with the upper pads resting about two inches in front of your knee.
2) Position you feet straight in-line with your leg with only the pads of your feet supporting the weight.
3) Raise your heel to remove the weight from its support.
4) Slowly lower your heels downwards until your range of motion has reached its maximum stretch.
5) Raise your heels upwards until you’ve maxed out your upwards range or motion.
6) Flex your calf extra-hard at the top of the movement to better target the muscle.
7) Flexing your calf throughout the exercise is key in proper development. *The Calves are very resilient muscles and can hold a higher rep range than most other muscles. They also regenerate and heal rather quickly as well. *Change the angle of your toes to work different angles of the muscle (outward and inward facing) Muscles Worked: Calves |
