@liftrunbang: Almost an inch on my calves in the last six weeks 1. Ok so they have been THIS SIZE before when I trained them consistently 2. Which is the point isn’t it? 3. No muscle you have will grow if you never trained it 4. But it has been work 5. I’ve gone from using about half the stack on this machine in the video to using almost the full stack now for reps 6. I hold the stretch 3-5 seconds and honestly just focus on that for the most part 7. I don’t come all the way back up because the calves don’t experience mechanical tension at very short lengths 8. This means this is truly a muscle that does like lengthened partials (see you guys...I’m about the science...and if a lengthened partial will grow a muscle more, which it does here, I’ll support that) 9. You don’t need a seated calf for the “soleus” it does work here too, and I know one of you is going to ask that. 10. I use a mostly straight leg but if you have SOME knee bend it’s ok 11. I’m sure there will be some weird questions I can’t think of because you guys over think almost everything but basically 12. It’s two sets of these on lower body days 13. 4-6 reps, increase load when I can do 8 14. That’s it.
do you ever get knee pain from keeping your leg locked out?

Is there any additional benefit for doing this unilateral (besides not having to worry about maxing the machine)?

You're also on gear so this doesn't apply to us

It’s all about the stretch

Surfer12345 :
Just out of curiosity, will getting stronger on a machine exercise translate to the free weight move for that muscle or will the free weight move stay the same or get weaker?

Any advice for fixing fallen arches? This causes me to have knock knees and I think it prevents me from properly engaging my calves

So a unilateral straight leg calf raise with a machine that’s easier to load unilaterally then a normal standing one

Hi Paul. I seem to be getting knee pain when doing these but never had any history of knee pain so not sure what could be causing this. Any ideas? Thanks

END :
I mean calves are for sure genetic the same with most muscles in varying body types. I’m a hard gainer in calves and have trial an errored to good growth, so I agree, just train
