>>
>>76770159

>calf exercise in which knee angle varies during motion

who have the biggest calves: Fat people

weighted incline walking will get your calves gigantic.
>>
>>76770159
Same way as any other muscle. The only differnce here being that the lower leg and forearm have a much higher percentage of type-I fibers vs type-II. I'm sure you can Google how to hypertrophy type-I fibers.

Only have to do 2 sets one in the range associated with type-I and one in the range associated with type-II and you've pretty much maximized hypertrophy on all the fibers in that area you can. Increase load as you're able to.

Genetics play a huge role. I'm only 209 pounds and don't go out of my way to train calves even on leg day cause they're pretty solid on their own.

obese landwhales dread stairs - walking on flat to the fridge and back - that's a different story

that's exactly the load that is present in heelhook - bend in knee with plantar flexion
>>76771116

grows gastrocnemius, the bend in knee
>like in hamstring curls ?
yes but this time ahilles tendon isn't poked by the pad so gastrocnemius CAN work

it's got ZERO to do with fibers bot, everything to do with supposed calf exercises providing load that is BENDING THE KNEE
and u want load that is EXTENDING ITl like heel-hook, cause gastrocnemius BENDS THE KNEE BOT :D

I'd argue that you don't really need anything more than your own bodyweight and a staircase.

Just position the back half of your foot off of the step and lift onto your tippers. Super simple, super easy but I started at 10x a step for 20 steps and caught one of the worst cramps like immediately after.

>>76771167
You're small, didn't read.
Differnt fibers have diffent preferred loading how you choose to apply that load isn't of consequence to me.
>>
>>76771179
>worst cramps like immediately after.
but gastrocnemius does THE OPPOSITE BOT
great way to adverise injurious ineffective nonsese though

Science based lifters are cringe as shit. I feel like lifting is already autistic enough without some faggot busting in with UhM, ACHTUALLY.

Posts pics of progress or eat an entire bag of dicks. The choice is yours.

>Science based lifters are cringe as shit.
here's a challenge for you bot then if u want to associate me with these con-men

find ONE case in which "science based lifter" proclaimed heel-hook superior calf growing stimulus

if u can't find it u must delete yourself bot - sudoku is your only way out with honor

mine:
>>76771195
>>76771167
>>76771161
>>76771116

just one example bot, only one

29 cm calves here.

Well 29 and 28 cm because I have such severe scoliosis that I move through the word in the shape of an S.
Gym recently got a calf press which I'm using... it feels like geriatric rehab, but then I suppose it is. Sarcopenia cut-off values are 32-34cm. The weakest 5th petcentile of 80 year old men clock in at 31.6.

mine are the size of biceps and biceps is fucking GOOOOOOOD
>>76771102
>if your arm was on a sling and it was pulled out of this position by rubber band hooked on thumb/wrist, u are stepping on opposite end of rubber with your foot, but most important part is the lean on elbow - gives u soft delt and opportunity to work biceps for the first time ever

and huwhat was ur plan bot?

>>76767855
so the only way to train abs is to switch off iliopsoas

i've got TWO setups now to achieve that :D

1:
dragon flag bot with legs folded in knees and hips atop pelvis/torso
lift your leg up standing high as it goes, then bring it to your chest closer with hands - this is the positioning u are aiming for cause it's beyond psoas' capability to do more hip flexion - it's switched off
lie on back on the floor with 2 light dumbbells in outstretched arms, move dumbbells past head (gives u necessary conterbalance) and fold legs in hips and knees on pelvis/torso, lift your butt off ground with only head and upper back as support
watch out for legs trying to flex - that's psoas wanting to take over from abs, keep em relaxed and folded

2:
take a pillow and shove it beneath your lumbar spine as u lay flat on the floor - it should be slightly uncomfortable that's how much padding u need
crunch - that's it, providing leverage point above psoas origin isolates abs from iliopsoas and switches the latter off - legs are completely soft
did it yesterday and i feel it mostly in lower abs, interestingly while i was doing it i felt it mostly in upper abs :D
the uncomfortable feeling in spine goes away as u crunch

>but why?
cause all conventional abs exercises is just psoas abuse - that's why, it don't do abs bot :D
>>
>>76770159
Long bike rides
>>
>>76771513
if u're not purposefuly ankling it won't do anything to calves
i do however purposefully ankle while biking whenever i bike just to not bloat quads which grow from looking at em in my case
calves are here bot

explain coloring on gastrocnemius in your own picture during hamstring curls bot - yes there CAN be component to cycling that's bending knee and ankle at the same time, if u already have this link established, but u're gonna be pulling yourself off the saddle to the front with it
and this tension will go through psoas which i don't like at all

heel-hook works like any other of my isometric holds - requires few minutes of effort a week :D
>>76771422

>doode just cycle like u're preparing for tour de france
is laughable bot, it's fucking dumb :D
