​​ Training Pro Tip: Calves

I do not think we have seen as many people neglect training any other body part as much as the calves! And as a result I have seen more people with lagging calves than any
other body part!

My favorite movements for training these muscles: putting a dumbbell between feet while sitting on a highly elevated bench or chair then lift feet towards shins.

To really build your calves a powerful mind to muscle link is necessary. Stress must be placed on the calves at every point throughout the full range of motion! This is achieved by putting hands on the calves as you are training them and using your hands to strengthen your mind to muscle link to the calves.
Choose exercises which allow the placement of your hands on your calves as you are performing your sets.
The following exercises are good for this:

Seated Calf Raise
Icarian Seated Straight Leg Calf Raise Machine
Calf Presses on Leg Press Machine
Calf Curls

With your hands on your calves, start to perform the chosen exercise slowly with a medium light weight. As you are slowly executing the repetition, feel the calves with your hands, flexing and pushing the weight.
If at any time you have a difficult time feeling the calf working, immediately pause at that point in the repetition.
