How To Use The Right Calves Exercise To Get Great Calves

To feel your gastrocnemius muscle, try standing on your tip toes and touching the back of your leg. The muscle extends from the knee to the ankle. You can actually feel the Achilles tendon behind your ankle and feel the two heads of the gastrocnemius behind your knee. In this article I’ll be explaining some tips that you should keep in mind while performing any calves exercise to help make your workout more effective.
• Most of the calves exercise that you do for your calves should be calf raises.
• Concentrate the most on the standing calf raise and the donkey calf raise which are the most efficient.
• A good number of repetitions per workout is 300 to 500.
• If you have bad genetics, which means that many members of your family have small gastrocnemius muscles, this means that you will need to work harder to achieve good results.
• You should always keep your back straight during any calf raise exercise.
• If you are bouncing up and down and using inertia, then you are cheating. Ascend and descend slowly in a controlled manner and hold your high position for 2 seconds to work you calves in the calves exercise.

These are just a few calves exercise and tips for you to help maximize the effect your calf workout. It is very important to keep your back straight and work at a slow pace; without bouncing. Spend more time in the gym on the standing calf raises machine or doing the donkey calf raise and I can promise you giant gastrocnemius muscles in no time.
