EXERCISE MENU: Arms

Calves


Lying Leg Curls

Standing Single-leg Calf Raises

Priority: Calves (Soleus)

This takes the place of Seated Calf Raises for working the Soleus. Besides working the soleus they also hit the hamstrings and are done before Single-leg Calf Raises. 
Priority: Calves

​This exercise gives your Calves symmetry and more strength. Keep your knees locked and use proper form with a controlled tempo. It is typically done after doing Lying Leg Curls and is a great finisher for your calves. Proper form and controlled tempo are priority over amount of weight used.

3 Positions Standing Leg Raises For Different Needs

Diamond calves make female legs sexy in heels and there are many ways to achieve this for each body type but the moves are always the same:
  • Toes Pointed In
  • Toes Pointed Out
  • ​Toes Forward​​
Alternate these with the other calf exercises for maximum results.

Priority: Full Calves
​
Toes-angled-outward works inner head of calf for diamond shape; Toes-pointed-inward hits the outer calf, and Toes-pointed-forward hits the back of calf. Keep your knees locked and use proper form with a controlled tempo. 

High Weight, Low Reps

 Body Type: Ectomorph

Morgan V likes fast work outs and her personality is to just get it over with so she does high weights with low reps.

Medium Weight, Medium Reps

Body Type: Ecto-mesomorph
​
Rochelle James doesn't like heavy weights and is a hard gainer in her calves so she does medium weights and medium reps.

Light Weight, High Rep

Body Type: Endomorph

Vikki V is trying to reduce the size of her calves and is an easy gainer in that area so she does light (but still appropriate) weights and high reps.

​While this seems counter intuitive, you lose mass by constantly working a muscle.
