This is a bodyweight calf exercise that focuses on the peak contraction of the soleus muscles. It can be done any time and any place. The body position used by this exercise places the calves in the anatomical position where they are able to contract the most strongly.
There are very few exercises that can put a muscle under tension through it’s entire anatomical range of motion. This exercise does so, working the calves through their entire range of motion in one two-part exercise. Find out how it works to start building your calves up fast! The results you can get by doing this are phenomenal!
Swinging Dumbbell/Body Calf Raises
The calves were designed for working in an unstable environment. Take advantage of ever-changing resistance to increase calf stability and strength. Have you ever experienced the pump in the calves you get from running in the sand? This exercise brings that instability and power into the gym.
