Try This Calf Exercise 🦡

I am going outside the box with this calf variation and using a lying leg curl for single leg seated calf raises.

You can use a seated calf machine, a smith machine, or a dumbbell on your thigh, but surprisingly, I really enjoyed the feel of this movement and if your seated calf machine is being used, then try it out.

When the leg is bent, like what I am showing, the exercise is targeting the Soleus. I know many people focus on the Gastrocnemius, but a thick and super strong Soleus is a game changer to overall shape and Greta for injury prevention.

Seated Calves and Donkey Calf Raises are my favorite exercises, and those wings you see on my calves are because of decades of seated calves mixed with the length of my calves (that's genetic) The size of my calves took years to build.

πŸ‘‰ The Workout

Single Leg Seated Calf Raises - 5 sets each leg of 25-50 reps heels in, heels out, and normal stance. A total of 15 sets each calf. Rest when needed

Slow controlled, change up your range of motion, partials on the stretch, and full range. Variation is key.

The Truth About Seated Calves🦡

Recently, there was a study that came out that showed that standing calf raises was far more effective for "Gastrocnemius Growth" vs. seated calves.

Well, of course.. standing vs seated hits different parts of the calf, so anything straight leg is going to be more effective for Gastrocnemius, and anything bent knee is more effective for Soleus.

We didn't need a study to prove that.

For those spreading the DON'T DO SEATED CALF RAISES. STOP.

Every top bodybuilder of all time has focused on seated calves, standing calves, donkey raises, and so on for muscle growth, not neglecting anything. Arnold, Lee Priest, Ronnie Coleman, Jay Cutler, and so on.

Clearly, that research wasn't out then yet they all built their calves to new levels.


If the goal is to increase size and strength in the Gastrocnemius, then do standing. If you want more size and strength in the Soleus, then do seated. Dont neglect either one. Nor forget about the Tibialis.

Training the soleus muscle through seated calf raises is crucial for building full, thick calves and enhancing lower leg endurance.

Unlike the gastrocnemius, which is more active during standing calf raises, the soleus is a slow-twitch, endurance-focused muscle that thrives on high reps and time under tension.

Strengthening it improves ankle stability, enhances athletic performance, and reduces injury risk, especially for runners and lifters.

βœ…οΈ Seated Calf Raise Workout
( I personally go all range of motion, from partials, full stretch, etc.)

1. Warm-up – 5-10 min light cardio(I do inclined treadmill and stretching)

2. Seated Calf Raises – 5 sets of 12-30 reps (controlled tempo, full stretch & contraction)

3. Single-Leg Seated Calf Raises – 5 sets of 15 reps per leg

For best results, I train calves 4 to 5 days per week.

Shoes - Jordan - 5's

Note: This is a tib raise machine, I am aware its a rare piece and not in many gyms, I have onky seen 4 of them a d they were all in hard-core bodybuilding gyms, so I bought one.

This is only one variation of the exercise, I have posted other variations on my page.

It's not often that you are in a gym and see anyone doing this movement.

Most people have never trained their tibialis anterior outside of simply walking/running. Nor do they realize it even exists.

Strengthening it will help the stability of the ankle and balance the leg, and we'll as knee protection.

It's the muscle that runs along the shin bone and works functionally to support your ankle and other muscles.

From a bodybuilding standpoint, it's a super cool muscle when developed and can help add some size to your calves.

I am using a powerlifting 50lb plate as elevation to add more ROM in the video but you can use any sort of elevation and do what I call top taps or reverse calf raises where the front of your foot is lifted instead of the heel.

This is an exercise that you can do 100s of reps of many times per week. It should really burn before stopping the set.

Beginners start with 3 to 5 sets of 50-100 reps 2 to 4 days a week..
