What do you think of weight versus full range of motion? If I go too heavy on the weight, I can’t really reach the height I can if I go lighter. Also, with heavier loads I don’t get the burning that I do with lighter weights.

Nice tip on using smith machine for stnding calf raises. What do you make of Smith Machine for bench presses? I’ve just moved gyms and at the new one nobody seems keen on spotting, but am I gonna lose out doing smith machine bench or is there not much in it?

Cheers

im ooking for equipment like that. does the Marcy MP3100 cover everything and do you have any additions?

One thing I’ll add to this movement (and any calve exercise), is performing a “catcher’s lift” RIGHT after. I don’t know how else to explain it. When you’ve finished your exercise with heavy weight, the idea is to blast the muscle farther with body weight. Imagine a baseball catcher’s position, but rather than an open stance, lock your knees together. I usually hold onto a machine so you don’t have to worry about balance. Now squeeze the calve muscle as hard as you can in that position. I usually do about 30-40. Having the legs full bent, the movement forces blood into the muscle. Remember to do each set right after a heavy calve exercise set.

Hope this helps! Try it!

You, sir, rock. Keep training and posting!

Cheers!
