Second and final exercise for calves…

Seated calf raises, since the knees are bent, it targets the soleus.

Final exercise of the day and almost at the finish line, but still a heavy set to do to failure.

I did over 220lbs on this exercise from what I remember, usually failing around 8 reps, plus it’s a little easier to do forced reps on this rather than on standing calf raises, which we did.

Don’t neglect your calves, train them as hard as you train everything else… heavy to failure!
