Bouncing like that is just working the achilles.

Sadly most people bounce. A cadence of 4 seconds up, four seconds down minimum, then no momentum. And doing it fast WILL NOT help “explosiveness” except for the explosion of your Achilles tendon lol so he is well on his way to experiencing that explosion.

This is exactly kzitem.infoUgkxUHHotQRjIQnfuxEeVotlkHVYWH0DXZoS what I needed to get some exercise while I'm stuck at my desk all day. It's just the right size. Only downsides are that the right oeddale unscrews itself while I use it and increasing the tension causes it to squeak while in use. Both are minor issues that aren't that important to me. So I give it 5 stars.

I've been doing calf raises on a smith machine with a step underneath to increase the range of motion. It's way more comfortable than those stand up calf raise machines IMO. However, I still feel some pressure on my knees, perhaps because I'm keeping my legs too straight instead of slightly bending them.

I'm currently doing calf raises on a smith machine with the wood platform too however I've heard that calf raises on a leg press are better. Which is better?

@@KBhunterx262 The calf raise on the leg press machine is better because it removes spinal loading and also pre stretches the gastrocnemius. However some leg press basesplates are uncomfortable to do calf raises from either because of their angle or the sharp edge at the bottom. Ideally you would have a curved edge baseplate or optional attachment for calf raises.

@@MOBAGamingNYC I’m not sure exactly which route to take as it depends how well you respond to training. I’m sure if you stopped training them and still did compound leg exercises they’ll stay the same, but for some they still might need to do some small direct calf work to maintain them. What other leg exercises do you do?

@@MOBAGamingNYC running normally will take care of your calves. It puts a lot of work on them. I don’t think you’ll accidentally get them big by training them, but if you want to “tone” them it sounds more like you just want them to look leaner which comes down to body fat percentage. I think running trains them enough if you’re already fine with their size. You can always add dedicated calf training later if you want to but I personally think you’re better off without it for now

Always make sure to slow down the tempo when you're doing calf raises. I used to do calf raises super quick, but when I slowed it down it got way more difficult and I felt the calves working a lot more. Make sure to squeeze at the top of the motion and slow down the eccentric (when you're going down)

Squeeze your calves on the negative and positive. If you sit down, you can feel your calves pop by stretching your foot upwards and stretching your foot downwards as far as possible.

I think faster more explosive reps would be best. Just be careful not to get shin splints. I find that if I do a lot of calf raises and running/sprinting I'm more susceptible to shin splints just from the increased volume of training.
