So hard to tell when people are trolling or serious here, you're usually a quality poster so I'm assuming you're giving legit advice..

Can you explain why? Finally stopped neglecting my legs and my routine includes standing calf raises, would love to know why I need to do both, and if doing seated with free weights is worth doing (home gym crew, no machine).


standing gets posterior chain involved. seated offers a bit more rom and controlled flex. both work on gast&sol regardless
the only bs about this exercise is changing feet placing to think it targets different fibers/sections of the muscle. it's retarded since the movement vector is the same sagita no matter what.

do u guys workout calves?

lets say i didnt, would i get calf nubie gains lol?


Yes. I have strong calves from skating / soccer / squash but the mass could be bigger, so I take them out for dinner one day a week.

Always include them on leg day, they are the most visible aspect of your lower body when wearing shorts. Make sure to work them out! :)

Calves don't grow from lifting without bicycling. You either have big calves or you don't

I only do 3 sets of weighted calf raises on leg day.

My inner voice of reason tells me I should do more exercises for calves but I don't really know any, other than seated calf raises which my gym doesn't have a machine for.


A machine for sitting down and putting weights on your legs?

It's called a chair genius bro
