This is possibly the highest quality fitness video I've ever seen under 5 minutes. I would love for more muscles to be covered in this manner. If I had to dock you for anything it would be audio quality, but who really cares? I would imagine others would be upset that you rushed through the different aspects of RoM and other things but those things can be looked into if one is not familiar with them or current research. I will be implementing a fast twitch deep stretched calf workout into my routine as well as some ballistic calf stretching, thanks!

Thank you my friend! One of the other benefits / purposes of this shorter format is that it will allow me to get videos out more frequently - so more to come soon! I do appreciate the feedback on the audio though. I was actually trying out a new mic in this video. Looks like I'll have to find a better one.

He’s not saying chin ups don’t work. He’s just saying it’s not the #1 exercise. I love Athlean X. But I don’t let my love for him blind me from the fact that this guy is right! After trying this exercise 100% you can feel significant difference in pump that you simply don’t get from pull-ups. Try it first before you write this one off. Objectively this exercise makes complete sense from just the biomechanics he explains.

Good video although you repeat the common error of stating that the Gastrocnemius is bigger than the Soleus, the Soleus is in fact the larger of the two.

I had the genetics of hectomorphic dog shins, I grew my calves a lot by training 3 sets to absolute failure for each side, unilateral, with 2 minutes break. The semi-flexed knee, I made a heavy and high iron base, I installed rubbers to create a good base for my feet, and I bought super-flexible water shoes with thin rubber soles, so I went down as far as I could and up as far as I could, You can't be in a hurry to finish a set, because there are only 3, I do 1 day on, 4 days off, and I only train them on the day I train them, it's a special day for them. 2 days later I do unolatera posterior and stiff,, and finish with free squats. and I've added 9cm to my cavles, and 23cm to my thighs, without drugs, at the age of 40. but a lot food, 4 times a day, a looot of food and proteins

If you have specific advice on how it could be better, let me know! I understand many people prefer the more in-depth, lengthy videos... but there's also many out there who want to be able to just cut right to the meat, and I didn't really have anything for them here on KZitem yet. So that's the intent here. Oh and by the way... that's why I'm giving out the free month on the membership. So that you can go in and check it all out completely risk free. Only those who feel it's worth the $10 / month (most do) and decide to keep the membership will pay anything.

Calves don't respond to weight, they respond to high reps and range of motion. Once high reps and full ROM are done, switch to explosive reps for your second and final reps. Even partials to finish off will see growth. Trust me, this works. I had tiny calves.

Mahalo for watching! 🤙🏼If you're interested in viewing the extended, 2-Minute Mastery version of this video within the Dr. Gains All-Access Basic Membership, you can do so for FREE by using the code 2MM-CALF-VID on the membership checkout page, which will give you a free month (the Basic Membership is normally just $9.95 / mo anyway). That way, if that's all you want out of the membership, you can just cancel it after watching the video and you won't be charged a penny. I'll be publishing mastery versions of all the 2-Minute Muscle Series videos on the membership though (joining the hundreds of hours of other premium workout content already on the platform), and if you're someone who cares about the WHY behind the WHAT, they'll be well worth it!! This first extended video on the gastroc takes the 2 minutes of firehose-type "takeaway" information and expands it into a 7-minute video that dives more into the explanations, context, and research BEHIND each of those key takeaways (i.e. muscle fiber type variations, the compound gastroc techniques, partial range of motion optimization, active insufficiency, etc.). Here's the link for the All-Access Membership platform! 👉 www.dr-gains.com/all-access
