Better yet: - Use a 45° or Horizontal Leg Press - Keep legs perfectly straight - 3-5 second pause in the BOTTOM stretched (dorsiflexed) position on EVERY rep - Raise only to NEUTRAL foot 2-3 sets, 2-3x a week This is the GREATEST Calf growth protocol known to man

Adding to next leg day routine 💯🫡

🤝💪🏻

Old skool!

As someone with horrible restless legs especially in my calves this is literally euphoric to do.

Can confirm! This is how my calves have blown up. Now I have calves veins.

JOHNNY KNOWS!

Sounds brutal but effective, will test on leg day

Watched someone do this 1 hour after seeing the video today. Had to give it a try 👍

Crap, I have been doing this so wrong, I see. I usually fly through reps until it burns.

Bookmarked!! Thanks gaffer 🧎❤️

How many reps are we going here Dean?

5-10ish

Thank you Sir!

🤝💪🏻

Why only neutral? These flex is up to your tippy toes

This is the way. Superset with leg press, same weight, no rest. Sets of 20 for calves. That’s the game changer. Oh and wear barefoot/flat sole shoes only and always.

the calf growth claim is specific but what's the measured outcome that proves it's the greatest protocol

A person should never, ever lock their knees, especially with this much weight on rack and even more so while standing in the sun. It’s a good way to decrease structural integrity and faint. You were supposed to learn this in high school.

Retarded take tbh

Interesting..what's rationale to stopping at neurral?

mitochondrial function in calves is a thing too, especially with that pause at the bottom, helps with repair

I maxed out the calf raise machine at my gym. This looks to be the next progression. I tried doing them on a smith machine but I hated it

They’re amazing if done on the right leg press

water skiing. It's the best. BUT it's only good for one leg (slalom). LOL.

Or do sprint work twice a week & your calves will be just fine :)

What about the vertical calf raise? Is it also great?

Pelvic loading is preferred Standing calf raise is axially loaded

The problem I’ve realized is once the weight gets heavy my butt starts rising up the seat lol even with verse grips

What are your thoughts on turning your heels in or out to hit different heads of the calf?

Yes I do this but I super set it with legs. I prefer the seated leg press though.
