good results so far. my calves are rediculously weak. after a discusting, grueling leg workout, i did 4x20 seated calf raises with 185lbs (pathetic!) and then standing calf raises 4x15 with 135lbs (mega pathetic!).
i wish i had a leg press. i love how it works for the thighs and it would help the calves a bunch too. |
If you have free weights you have all you need. Do you have a squat rack power rack for doing squats?
I am seriously thinking about canceling my gym membership and training at home again.
The standing calf raise will work the whole calf but the seated works only part of the muscle I believe so don't feel to bad if you just do standing.
Anyway I have seen big pads that wrap around a barbell for when people do squats and don't like the pressure on there back. Ask at a fitness shop for this I think that should solve the seated calf problem.
