Renaissance Periodization - You're Doing Calf Raises WRONG
The video emphasizes the significance of calf raises in exercise routines, particularly highlighting the benefits of using a platform to enhance the stretch. By elevating the toes on a platform, individuals can lower their heels below ground level, achieving a deeper stretch in the calf muscles. This method is recommended over performing calf raises directly on the ground, as it maximizes the stretch and effectiveness of the exercise. The speaker suggests holding the stretch for a few seconds before returning to the starting position, which can significantly improve the results of the workout.
Key Points:
- Use a platform for calf raises to enhance stretching.
- Lower heels below ground level for a deeper stretch.
- Hold the stretch for a few seconds for better results.
- Performing calf raises on the ground is less effective.
- Incorporate this method into regular exercise routines for improved calf muscle development.
