Browsing: Calf exercises
There are two basic ways (exercises) to train calves. One way is with the knees locked and the other is with the knees bent. Exercises with the knees locked, such as standing calf raises, work the gastrocnemius. Exercises with the knees bent, such as seated calf raises, work the soleus. When the knees are bent, the stress is relieved from the gastrocnemius and put on the soleus. Donkey calf raises, performed with a slight bend in the knees, tie in the gastrocnemius and soleus.
