Advanced Training Tips - Working the Inner Calf Head

Working the Inner Calf Head

Fitstep.com Home -> Advanced Training -> Advanced Tips -> Inner Calf Head

Many people have difficulty building the calves in general and the inner calf head specifically. Try this technique when doing calf raises of any type.

Stand with your feet about a foot apart then, as you rise up, try to force your heels together.
Do not let your toes or balls of your feet move.
Your toes should stay pointed straight forward.
Squeeze hard at the top.
This is essentially attempted external (outward) rotation at the hip joint with the stress going to your inner calves.
Try to put more pressure on the big toe sides of the feet as you come up and squeeze together.

"I thoroughly enjoyed your book. It's interesting to see new exercises
and variations of old exercises. One of the big problems with
training is boredom, unless you are a complete no-brainer,
nothing is worse than doing the same old thing
workout after workout." - R. Kehoe
