Hey all, Drug Free Bodybuilder/Raw Power Lifte Tuan here with some more videos for 2010. Here you will see me do some calf raises on the leg press machine.

There are many different ways that you can work your calf muscles, and if you have access to a leg press machine you can do calf raises on the machine.

There are 2 main differences between calf raises on a leg press and calf raises on a standing calf machine.

The first major difference is that when you are standing there is more challenge on your balance and core muscles.

The second major difference is that the weight is loaded from the shoulders when you stand versus through your hips and lower back when using the leg press.

Some people find calf raises on a leg press more comfortable on the shoulders than most standing calf machines, and some people find that they can lift more weight when they are using the leg press to do calf raises.

  • I wonder what Tuan thinks about leg press-calves versus sitting calves. Soleus/Gastro.

    Isn't it better to train em both?

  • I do every calf movement possible to make them grow. if it causes them to hurt and pump, I will do it

  • NEVER take the weight guard off before doing calf presses. NEVER DO THAT! One slip up on that weight or the shoes could come off and that 1000 lbs comes crashing down on your chest and midsection and that could be fatal! Leave it guarded the weight isn't going much distance doing calf work!

  • @Mushhoodkingston first off, I am not Chinese. Second, how about this. I will save us both time and just block you from my channel. I do not have to time to deal with racist, ignorant people like you

  • a buff asian, strange

  • yea, but those arent fast..

  • can this be done on a regular leg press machine or does it have to be decline

    

  • @c4jc4j if you want to do mma you need to train fighting not deadlifting

  • You really inspire me alot.

    I am 17 years old, I started working out at the end of 16 going on to 17. I am probably around your hight 5'8, and I want your build andI want to do mma.

    is their an email I can email you with or facebook or something so that I can ask you a few questions.

    Thank you so much.

    PS I am in my fifth month of working out and I can dead lift over 340 ibs

  • tuan are you human ?

  • Tuan, I love your videos, your training is well thought out. But why would you take the safety off when doing calves with over 1000 pounds?
