More ROM. With your toes elevated, the starting point of the rep can begin in dorsiflexion as opposed to a neutral position (defined here as soles of feet being parallel to the floor) if you don't have them elevated.

Thanks Dreyth.

Hopefully somebody can help me out with this next question.

Lets say your doing calf raises in either standing or seated position with the toes elevated on some platform. At which point in the ROM (dorsiflexion/neutral/plantar-flexor) is the Achilles tendon being optimally worked?.

All though I hate the extremity of it all, having downloaded The Unbelievable by Ronnie Coleman, I certainly have a lot of respect for him.

He actualy holds down a part time job in the police force.

that deadlift looked all upper body to me.

Yeah, along with his lower back, that is where the lever is.

Very strong erector spinae.

Do calf-raises with your toes elevated on a box or stack of two 45lb plates.

What about my forte, seated ISO calf raises?.

What is the difference between having your toes elevated on a box as opposed to just having the feet on the ground in plantar-flexion phase?. Is there any difference in terms of athletic benefit performing a seated calf raise ISO in either foot position (floor/raised on block)?.


I think it'll really make a difference in my speed since my calves are small and I'll probably get quick newbie gains out of them.

Charlie Francis opposed sprinters having big calf's & looking at Usain's, his are far from having lots of mass.





What he does have are achilles/foot tendons with more snap than a Woody band.

How about a simple bowl or two of muesli for breakfast?, which is pretty perfect if you find the right product.

When it comes to diet, people complicate the $hit out of it.

Just ask Lyle & JC.  ;D

if you were going to overload the leg-ext-tke-iso, i'd do it in a leg extension eventually.. ankle weights could be a small build up. no-extra weight works fine though in terms of 'activation/firing patterns'.. like i said earlier, i personally would rep out with leg ext tke, and stay unloaded for the leg ext tke ISO.. that's personal preference AND how I think it should be done.. if you are going to add load to the leg ext tke ISO, i'd make sure you do the same for some kind of hip extension iso (iso extension stim style, or prone rev hyper etc)

43
as for the tke unloaded iso 'on bed', i do them sitting up also, like im doing right now as i forum.. so ya, whatever, lock em out "maximally" for time :F

What about progressive overload?, such as ankle weights?.

Any benefit?, or detrimental?.

44
nah that would tire out quads/illiopsoas/abs more before tiring out vmo.. for what im talking about, just picture a leg extension, without any machine, so sitting down on a bed, extending knees close to maximally, and maintaining that for time.

It's just that you said: sit on a bed, lean back, put my hands on the bed, and extend my knees very hard.

When you talk about leaning back, are you talking about laying down on the bed?. or just sat in an upright seating position?.
