Seated barbell calf raises:
2 x 20 @ 60
2 x 25 @ 60
1 x F @ 60
Firs time doing seated version as l didnt really think of doing it that way until l saw Aidz a.k.a shrek a.k.a groar do them. They felt harder l guess? Not sure... calf raises generally suck if you do them right and ill probably be sore later tonight / tmo....
KFG, seated calves work the soleus head of the calf muscle (Knees bent) while any variation with the knee straight works the gastrocnemius. So for all round calf development both variations must be done.

I'm not officially in the challenge but still doing something for them every 2 days with my regular workouts. As I've never really done ANYTHING calf related before that is my own little experiment.
Does anyone in this challenge find that the first 2 or 3 sets is ok and doable...but once you hit the 4th and 5th set it brings tears to your eyes????? lolol
Largely and for the most part, the calf DOMS are gone, but the dull ache is always there, because we're working the muscle every day... but man those last few sets murder me! Even just the bw calf raises I do on cardio days, same thing...last few sets and my eyes water
waaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa
You wait for the AFTER shots on my calves! Yeah boi!
