Top 5 Fridays! 5+1 Rules for Training Your Calves

Top 5 Fridays! 5+1 Rules for Training Your Calves - themanualtherapist.com



Training calves? Check out these rules via my buddy Matthew Ibrahim



1. Start standing to bias gastrocnemius.

2. Next up: seated or knees bent (60+ degrees of knees flexion) to bias soleus. The soleus is a POWERHOUSE muscle.

3. Use regular range of motion from the floor.

4. Increase range of motion by elevating.

5. Bilateral (two legs) to start easy.

6. Bump up the intensity and make it harder by using one leg (unilateral).

Tons of variety and variables to tinker with when it comes to training the calves.

Start here and start growing those bunnies! 🐰
