do you use more weight on the leg press or on the leg press calf raises ?
>>
190kg leg press
220kg calf raise
But I think I have to switch to another machine for leg press. This one doesn't feel that good for higher weight leg press

I do like 50kg on the calf raises. Straighten your knees and don't use your other muscle dumbo.

>I do like 50kg on the calf raises. Straighten your knees and don't use your other muscle dumbo
yeah and if u want calves tie rope at flloor level, attach powerband to the rope and lie down
hook powerband on your heel and pull towards your ass
>what for?
for calves u are not doing with calf raises
>huwhat do u mean it's called calf raise
i have a shit sandwich here but i called it peanut butter sammich, want some?
>no
well it's the same for calf raises

gastrocnemius BENDS THE KNEE, IF U ARE EXTENDING THE KNEE (no locking it with quad doesn't work) if the resistance tries to bend the knee then gastrocnemius and entire calf will sputter and u can get only damage from such conditions, no time under tension whatsoever and zero muscle growth

if u take notice calf raises aren't smooth
>what to u mean hooman?
the motion doesn't feel like flexing muscle, it's jittery as if u moved from one position to another and to another - it's the result of interrupted contraction

there's another thing - gastrocnemius goes through knee joint and ends up on femur, however the knee joint itself forms a bulge on which gastrocnemius snags on when knee is fully extended because insertion and origin of gastroc don't see each other

you need to PULL FOR GASTROCNEMIUS like this for example:
https://www.youtube.com/shorts/NfwtDIscQm8
that's why pictured magnus mitboe has very nice gastrocnemius

rubber and actually pulling to your pelvis is way better though
it kinda looks like janda situp setup but u don't situp - u just pull to your pelvis with band hooked (low cause u don't want to pinch achilles tendon) on heel

xD
calf is 2/3 of leg ( it goes past knee - u won't even see whole gastrocnemius with knee long shorts) and 50% of it's aesthetic and 70 % of leg health

visible in the picture bot :D it snags, and it's the wrong force direction on knee with "calf" raises
