Multi angle calf exercise

[hahahaxxx00]

que pé sujo da porra kkkkkkkkkkk cheio de frieira

[peRFectjaguar]

hey man, i work out my calf but i have a problem i have hairy legs, does shaveing them make them look more muscular?

[exercisewizard]

@peRFectjaguar . I have hairy legs too and shave them once in a while. Shaving absolutely make bring out any muscle definition you may have. I am not sure that shaving will make your legs look bigger. Karsten

[TheSUBGAMER]

you did not do reverse calf raises man,still nice

but i have to laugh at all this people saying "it is genetics"

it is literally impossible not to grow your muscle if you train it the right way(that includes a lot of things(food,rest,sleep....)

[exercisewizard]

@TheSUBGAMER I agree - we must work with all the factors that affect progress - this includes the thoughts and emotions

[lauderdale8747]

Calve implants are the way to go....Nothing else works if your not born with them....XXX don't be hatin me now.....

[exercisewizard]

@lauderdale8747 Not hating you :-) but as a strength coach, I obviously disagree with calf implants. New reasearch shows that expression of genes are controlled by belief (yes, you read that correctly) there is nothing that proper training, nutrition and the right mindset can't do.

[sweetgyy]

that does nothing . you are either born with them or not .

[exercisewizard]

@sweetgyy If you are of the opinion that you are limited by your "genetic potential" I can recommend that you read "The Biology of Belief", by Bruce Lipton. I was a great eye opener for me personally. Thank's for sharing your viewpoint! Karsten

[dickhornymouth]

this look rough on the ankles...if u add weight at least

[exercisewizard]

@dickhornymouth The purpose of starting the exercise in eversion and inversion is to develop endurance of the peroneals and tibialis posterior, both stabilizers of the ankle joint. Therefore, it is not the purpose to use heavy weigths in this exercise but lower weigths and higher reps (90 seconds to 4 minutes of tension). For the heavy loading do regular calf raises to develop the gastrocnemius muscles. Work up to 1000 pounds like Reg Park did!

[ariesnr1]

Cool and smart way to work out the calves! Thanks!

[exercisewizard]

@ariesnr1 Thank's!

[Treo36]

@exercisewizard my calf muscle are very small but thanks for the video because i know now that i need to workout all the calf muscles and not just one.....KEEP POSTING VIDEOS LIKE THIS!

[fortunexever]

Does this exercise help on decreasing or at least weakening Tibilais anterior?

I am trying any possible way to diminish the volume (and pain) of my tibialis anterior. Both legs.

Thanks.

[exercisewizard]

@fortunexever No. If you have pain in you tib ant, you should consult a qualified professional (physio or ostepath etc)

[chrisiztheman1618]

hey man i need your help, what is the best way to work the inner part of the calf and the tibialis posterior?

[exercisewizard]

@chrisiztheman1618 You target the tib post, when you start the calf raise in the everted position (outside of foot on the plate, inside of foot low). I am not aware if it is possible to target the medial head of the gastroc seperately

[chrisiztheman1618]

@exercisewizard ok cool thanks, is that the first one you do or the last?

[exercisewizard]

My friend! Dont put out claims unless you can back them up! If you took you time to watch the video, you would see that is not about pointing in and out, but about starting the calfraise with the foot in eversion and inversion. This exercise has a long track record of protecting ankles in track and field as well as racquet sports.

[Keyboardbeatz]

strong broscience bro, pointing out and in is a waste of time

[boccyan]

this is good mate thanks for sharing

[exercisewizard]

@boccyan

Thank's for the comment! I am glad you like the exercise!

[phaedruslive]

@exercisewizard you have excellent inceptors, very long indeed

[exercisewizard]

@phaedruslive Thank you!

[Ghjoest]

i agree, awesome variations, im trying to increase my vert. so this is especially usefull for the lower end of what im going for. niceness!!

[exercisewizard]

Thank you for your comment. I am glad you like the exercise! Good luck with your vertical!

[huntman125]

@Ghjoest How much can you squat?

[sleepybuddah]

you got some dirty feet

[tonaaaaay]

wow what the hell

100 reps of anything is useless.

if u want to build muscle, maximum 10 reps sets using DUMB BELLS

[mmaman88]

@tonaaaaay not true all muscles can use high reps every now and then to shock them and help for maximum growth

[antibulletdodger101]

dude, get a tan

[exercisewizard]

hhjjj

[SinisterSkip]

Are you saying 100 reps will help with calf SIZE or more to endurance/stamina? I would not seem logical to me that the stubborn calf muscles respond well to 100 bodyweight reps if you're going for pure all out mass.

[exercisewizard]

Yes, 100 rep sets will help build mass in the slow twitch dominant soleus muscles.

Your 100 rep sets can be done in a legpress, with bodyweigth, incline walking on a treadmill or hill sprints.

Personally I have solid calves build mainly on riding 20 k a day to work for 10 years. I have almost never done calf raises

Karsten

[thatbrownkidholio]

those are some tiny calves for a cyclist. most cyclist have impressive calves and you have next to no mass at al.

fail!

[witnessforfitness]

Great post! I was looking for alternative calf workouts that would be good for women :)

[exercisewizard]

Thank's! I am glad you liked the exercise!

[SeijiiNakamaru]

Great idea, I never thought about doing them like this. I usually do 300 single leg bodyweight calf raises, but maybe this will help. (I weigh 120, so I think it's easy)

[exercisewizard]

Hi Seiji,

I am not sure what your specific goal with your calf training is? (endurence? muscle mass?)

As simple way for you to include mutiangle calf raise, would be to perform

100 from the inverted start pos

100 from the everted start pos

100 from the neutral start pos

enjoy the training.

Karsten Jensen

[SeijiiNakamaru]

Muscle mass because I can't see my calves unless they're full flexed, and even then they blend in. Also, I need them to be strong and explosive for jumping.

Thanks for the help. I'll enjoy every second.

[exercisewizard]

Hi Alex,

Thank's for your comment! I have already answered that question (see above). That's a very powerful program to get your calves growing!

I you want something specifically for you, I can consult with you a my regular consulting fee.

To big calves!

Karsten

[alex1992307]

i want a hard exercises..dont matter..but i want to have big calves in a fast peryod of time..could you help me..pls reply back :)

[exercisewizard]

Hi!

Try this:

A.Eccentric accentuated Calf Raise in a Leg Press, 5 sets 5 pr pr leg. Lowering weight slowly to full stretch.

B. Bent Knee Calf Raise in leg Press Maschine 3-5 sets of 8-12 reps, lower to neutral postion, pause and lift controlled.

C. LEg Curl or Glute Hamraise (to hit gastroc) 2-3 sets of 8-12.

D. Walking on incline treadmill or Russian Farmer Walk. 3-10 min.

If you are outside, hillsprints, sprints in sand are great.

Good luck!

[ThisIsHafiy]

How to make my calves bigger? especially my gastrocnemius and soleus .

need help

[FormulaDStock]

@ThisIsHafiy Focus more on the eccentric contraction to produce hypertrophy of your calves.
