Similar to what I do and can attest that it works. Took me years to grow them too

I do these almost exactly this way on a horizontal stack weight leg press machine. I don’t only go to neutral foot, I extend out to a full “calf raise” followed by lowering back down to dorsiflexed position hold before the next rep. Why go only to neutral position?

It appears the calves experience low levels of voluntary activation when in the plantar flexed position It is likely they do benefit a ton from the passive tension experienced in the stretched (dorsiflexed) position however

My ankles are not so flexible. I do try and go as far as possible

the stretched-position part has data. in a 2023 study, calf raises done only in the bottom half grew the gastrocnemius about twice as much as full reps (Kassiano et al.).

Should you kind of also feel it towards the bottom of your hammie, with this method?

Your hams are lengthened but most of the sensation should be felt in the calves

I’ve been playing around with loading my hamstrings when doing standing raises. Almost like I’m at the bottom of an RDL. The stretch is insane. Anything beneficial with doing this?

The hams lengthen when you flex the hip But you aren’t (shouldn’t) changing hip position when doing calf raises

Playing a lot of sports particularly when relatively younger helps a lot.

Would this also work well pushing on a leg press plate that does not move?
