If you're worried about the plantar flexion, which is just a calf raise, at the top - then don't use it. I certainly will never claim to have all the answers. And, I personally don't do moves that are feel are risky.

That said, I'm not worried about doing this because of the lack of anecdotal and scientific evidence that I should be. We've seen slight improvements in the efficiency, effectiveness/intensity and functional carry-over in our squats from adding in the calf raise.

Dude! bad audio. way too much background noise.

[scottyroyale]

coach noone's saying youve got all the answers, & calf raises on top of squats are pretty common, use em' with my clients all the time too......my point was simply that in my opinion, & i dont have all the answers either, doing the calfy's while in the strength-endurance zone where stability will often go missing, is possibly asking for an inversion sprain. the issues become bigger than it is ahhaah!

@mrsketchysketch I would try it for yourself and see if you feel like it's dangerous. I never prescribe workouts before trying them myself.

[mrsketchysketch]

@scottyroyale Yeah, I suppose it would be up to the coach's discretion. If the load doesn't get too heavy, the athlete's form is nice and they have no history of ankle instability I think it's fine. That being said, I would NEVER risk it with a high profile client and I think coach T would probably agree there too.

[scottyroyale]

@mrsketchysketch yeh i dunno, he even states at :30 the weights r usually heavier, and despite the lighter loading she still appears quite fatiqued by the final reps. inversion sprain injuries, though normally unilateral, dont require any load at all to occur, so trying to stabilise in full plantar flexion with even a small load is just asking for probs.

[mrsketchysketch]

@scottyroyale It would depend on the load used. These exercise complexes are probably meant for conditioning/fat loss, so they probably aren't supposed to be done with a load where you would really be worried about that.

[scottyroyale]

somehow i cant see how putting the exerciser into full plantarflex squats at the end of all those reps is in any way safe, its just asking for a serious ankle injury
