How To Gain Strength: Calf Raises

Calf Raises.

We want to slight drop an elevation so that we stretched the Achilles and the calf a little bit more than normal, overload it with some weights. Get good extension or plantarflexion, emphasis on this is not on how far you can drop the heel, we want a slight increase in the range of motion followed by the most important phase which is the push or extension of the ankle.

Then, we want to isolate and drop the one limb. We want to focus on real good plantarflexion or extension at push-off doing calf raises. This will overload one leg by having to hold the body weight plus a little extra load at the same time.
