Want a secret that will absolutely enhance
your calf training? Because of the great deal of endurance that calf
muscles naturally have, it's important to continually generate more and
more tension on them with each succeeding set during your workout. Here's how...
In-between sets of calves, rock up and down on the balls of your feet
to maintain tension on the calves in-between sets. In-between your sets
of standing calf raises, while standing, rock up and down on your toes.
You will experience a burning sensation.
In-between sets of
seated calf raises, drop down into a squatting position, balancing
yourself on the balls of your feet; it's OK to hold onto a bench or
chair to stabilize you; then rock up and down on the balls of your feet
from this squatting position.
In both cases, you'll maintain a
high degree of tension in the calves during the rest periods. Because
of this, the intensity of this calf routine gets very high.
WARNING: This is not a routine for the mild mannered! The good part is
the fact that this is a very short calf routine that will create
sufficient stress in the calf muscles, which will cause them to respond.
