The seated calf raise exercise builds bigger, stronger calves and improves ankle stability. It targets the soleus muscle specifically when your knees are bent.
1. Sit on a seated calf raise machine or bench with weight plates on your thighs 2. Place the balls of your feet on the footrest with heels hanging off 3. Lower your heels as far as possible to stretch your calves fully 4. Push through the balls of your feet to raise your heels as high as you can during the seated calf raise 5. Pause at the top, then slowly lower back to the starting position for your next seated calf raise rep
• Keep your knees at 90 degrees throughout the entire seated calf raise movement • Move slowly and control the weight - don't bounce at the bottom • Get a full stretch at the bottom and squeeze hard at the top of each seated calf raise • Keep your core tight and back straight against the pad
• Using too much weight and not getting a full range of motion in your seated calf raise • Bouncing at the bottom instead of using smooth, controlled movements • Not pausing at the top to fully contract the calf muscles during each seated calf raise rep
