Standing calf raise

Standing calf raise with weights – the main exercise for working out and building a high-quality triceps surae muscle.

In fitness and bodybuilding, there are many variations and modifications of this exercise:

How to properly perform a standing calf raise?

1. Remove the bar from the racks.
2. Balance it in its original position - the barbell on your shoulders or below your chin.
3. Maintaining an upright position and stable balance, rise onto your toes.
4. At the same time, strive to stretch as high as possible.
5. Fix for a few seconds at the highest point of the trajectory.
6. Then lower yourself to the original position.
7. The number of repetitions ranges from 12 to 30 times.

In short pauses between approaches, it is recommended to perform walking on toesto increase the impact on the shins. Using this technique, you will not give your muscles even a second of rest - very accentuated, continuous, shocking impact. This is the only way to stimulate "difficult muscles" to growth.
