Seated Calf Raise: Muscle Worked, How To Do, Form

Are you tired of having weak, underdeveloped calves? Look no further than the seated calf raise exercise. This move targets your calf muscles and can lead to improved strength, stability, and injury prevention. Try these simple yet effective seated calf raise exercises for strengthening your calf muscles. You can do this calf raise variation with dumbbells, barbell and with a machine. Strong and well-developed calf muscles not only contribute to an impressive physique, but also play a vital role in overall lower body strength and stability.

Know About Calf Muscles (Anatomy)

But before starting to implement the calf training routine, let understand a bit about calves muscles. The calf muscle is located in the lower leg and is made up of two main muscles: the gastrocnemius and the soleus. Gastrocnemius The gastrocnemius is the larger and more superficial of the two muscles. It creates the "bulging" appearance of the calf. It originates at the back of the knee and inserts into the heel bone (calcaneus) via the Achilles tendon. This muscle is responsible for plantar flexion of the foot and is heavily involved in activities such as running and jumping. Soleus The soleus is a smaller, deeper muscle that lies underneath the gastrocnemius. It also originates at the back of the knee and inserts into the heel bone, but it does so directly rather than via the Achilles tendon. The soleus is primarily responsible for plantar flexion of the foot and is active in activities such as walking and standing. Both of these muscles work together to control movement of the ankle and foot, and they also play a role in stabilizing the knee. Training these muscles can help prevent injury and improve overall leg strength and function.

✊This was an awesome original leg workout. ➡️make sure to save and share with your gym buddy. I’m Still recovering a couple days later.

MY TOP 3 LOWER BODY MOVES! These 3 moves have been the focus of my lower body training this year. For my physique, anatomy, and goals they have the biggest impact on making my lower half better. Of course, I do other moves like hip thrusts, lunges, stepups, back extensions, etc., but this trifecta hits the sweet spot for me. Exercise list in circuit format first and then session notes below for a perfect 40-minute workout... ---------------- - Perform each move for 2 minutes of work with a minute rest between moves: 1a. Seated Calf Raises 1b. Russian Leg Curls 1c. Bulgarian Split Squats- Left Leg 1d. Bulgarian Split Squats- Right Leg - That's 1 round. Do 3 rounds. ---------------- SESSION NOTES: ---------------- 1a. Shooting for 18-20 reps in 2 minutes with a good squeeze at top and stretch at bottom. Awesome for mobilizing the ankles and bringing up lower calf/soleus muscle. I've had historically bad ankle mobility and undeveloped lower calves so this has been a staple for me. ---------------- 1b. These are great for the high calves, lower hamstrings, and some core and glute work. I'm starting to get really good at these- doing them with more control and a straight body position. For each set, I did 10 slow eccentric reps and then did eccentric-only and cheat/push up the remaining time left in the 2-minute work period. I'm using the floor gluts-ham developer from #SpeedBot. ---------------- 1c/d. I did constant tension reps for the first minute, stopping just short of lockout. Then immediately went into normal full range of motion reps the second minute. Holy quads and glutes! I get way better pumps from this than normal squats- it's really not even close. ---------------- #TheDailyBJ #Legs #LegDay #LowerBody #Quads #Glutes #Hamstrings #BJGaddour #MetabolicBodybuilding #Calves #TeamHighCalves #RussianLegCurls #BulgarianSplitSquats #NordicLegCurls #SeatedCalfRaises

Calf Anatomy And Function

The calf muscles are located in the lower leg and consist of two main muscles: the gastrocnemius and the soleus. Gastrocnemius - The gastrocnemius is the larger and more visible muscle of the calf. - It has two heads, known as the medial head and the lateral head, which originate from the back of the femur (thigh bone) and merge to form the Achilles tendon. Soleus - The soleus is a smaller muscle located beneath the gastrocnemius. - It lies deeper and attaches to the tibia (shinbone) and fibula (calf bone) before also merging with the Achilles tendon. Calves are responsible for plantar flexion, the movement of the foot downwards. They also assist with ankle stability during activities such as walking, running, and jumping.

Grasshopper hard at work again! Due to a small hand injury of sorts I gave @ace.elite.33 his first full on #legday! We started off with the #legpress at 90x3x12, followed by #lyinglegcurls at 25x4x12 and we finished off with #seatedcalfraises at 45x3x20. Here's a quick tip on any kind of #calfraises: your #calves can handle much more weight than you think. Your calves are holding up your body; so if you weight 150lbs, your calves are holding up 150lbs, meaning you can and probably should start off your calf raises with that weight and start from there. Much like the legs as a whole, calves absolutely require much more stimulation to grow. #unitedinstrength #igfitness #certifiedpersonaltrainer #iamacpt #nasmcertified #nasmcpt #nasm #strong #strength #improvisation #beginnerstrengthtraining #letstraintogether #ificandoitsocanyou #nevergiveup #nevergivein #nj #newjersey https://www.instagram.com/p/BwekGHvjPYe/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=188kr2rf3uzf6
