The 10th mistake in the video is critical for ultimate success, and so many people fall off the wagon as time goes on. Great point and the entire video is extremely well done.
💯 I've been exercising for over 30 years & I have given up lately due to my Achilles tendon rupture. I used to run 15 miles weekly & and have a soccer game at the weekend . Giving up never crossed my mind, and now I can't even see myself going to the gym once a week. My injury side clearly shows that one calf is thinner than the other ,yet a lack of motivation has taken over.
Great video, thanks! I start my trainings with calf raises, I do the myorep match sets which allows me to put huge amount of volume in just four sets per exercise. Seated calf raises are a waste of time because of active insuficiency of the gastroc. 3 times a week, 3 different straight leg calf raise exercises, 4 sets each at the start of your session when you are the freshest & they’ll grow. Focus on the deep stretch & do up to 20-30 reps, once you reach 30 on a certain weight, next week you progress. And don’t forget the tibialis anterior.
Please upload a video for strengthen the quads. I m struggling from last 10 months for this. I have done my acl surgery 4th October 2023 but still my quads are weak
Excellent and concise video, just what i was looking for, thanks, i have had sciatica for a while which has made me walk differently and has caused me to lose at least half the size of my left calf muscle, i have been using a rowing machine for three weeks now and although i am noticing gains to my overall fitness/muscle toning i am not sure if it will build back my calf muscle to match the other side so this should help immensely.
I've been on my feet now for a couple of weeks since a traumatic fracture dislocation of my tibia and the subsequent knee surgery. I'm glad to see that I've been doing my calve exercises properly. I wear a backpack with plates in it for added load. I think I need to increase the weight that I'm putting in the the backpack, though.
Excellent video! Do you guys have videos showing the studies on flat shoes? When should they be worn? By who? What contexts? Etc. don’t want to drop $200 on sneakers if they won’t apply to me.
Personal anectode - love them for walking on soft/textured surfaces - forests, mountains, parks etc. They're hell in the city though, where everything is monotone concrete/stone slabs/... and my knees hurt afterwards. So, if you're primarily a city dweller, I wouldn't bother. Otherwise, go for it (though I'm sure you should be able to find ~$100 ones). Start off slow, don't buy em and go on a weekend hike. Wearing around the house, walk in a park, for a few hrs here and there, and let your feet acclimate, you'll feel them a lot initially. Got muscles in your feet, they just aren't used in modern shoes, so don't overload them.
I know it's mentioned in the title of the video it is about muscle growth but keep in mind that growth not necessarily means strength. They are 2 different things.
I heard fast twitch muscles cause greater muscle growth in terms of size. Why then would bouncing in straight knee calve raise be worse than slower reps?
Hello, I have a question regarding core engagement. I just recently had a microdiscectomy (5 days ago). And I had previously learnt how to engage my transverse abdominals correctly. My core is at its strongest it’s ever been and have learnt how to engage pretty much all the muscles around my torso (obliques, rectus abdominis, internal and external obliques). I wanted to know how much I should be engaging my core at this time and if there is any danger in engagement at all? I was worried I would put too much compression on my lower back by too much engagement. Could you advise please?
If anyone can help, I've noticed every once in a while that my right Achilles does a popping sound when doing standing or seated calf raises. Is it something i should be cautious of if pushing too hard?
My left knee pops often when I start doing squats. It's always been doing that, independent on my foot position. I don't think it's dangerous since there's no pain and it goes away after 1-2 sets but it would be good to know why it does that as well.
Bouncing may not be great for hypertrophy, but I found it very useful for healing my plantar fasciatis. Only started to see significant improvement after I implemented that in my training.

One of the best calf videos out there. Good work.
You are my favorite influencer!
Quality video as always. One of the best out there
Every gym bro needs to watch this video, nice work e3 :)

This channel is impressively good! Keep the good work!
What a great video once again, so much value. Thanks.

What ever exercise you choose, if your calves don’t burn add reps! Calves are resilient! Only start counting reps once the burn starts

Thx for the vid, U are one of the best channel on the internet for science based training. FHP is the other one.
Great content, thanks mate.👍

Great content... Congrats!!!
this video came in the exact time when my calf growth was stalling, thank you

I need these shoes
Can you do one biceps too
I know the bicep is a shoulder flexor and i see gymnasts have big biceps especially the bicep towards the shoulder area
Great tips thanks
Beautiful.. best tips ever
Excellent video! Do you guys have videos showing the studies on flat shoes? When should they be worn? By who? What contexts? Etc. don’t want to drop $200 on sneakers if they won’t apply to me.
Just take your shoes off and work out in socks. Same thing.
Personal anectode - love them for walking on soft/textured surfaces - forests, mountains, parks etc. They're hell in the city though, where everything is monotone concrete/stone slabs/... and my knees hurt afterwards.

Can somebody tell me what shoes are those?
Ya I was just about to ask
Could you do a video on a jammer finger and also borken collarbone surgery rehab?

Do you offer CEUs?
7 months with Achilles tendonitis any help

can you do hip thrust, after hip replacement?
Yes
Hello E3 Rehab may I know what elevated matt surface you are using in the video, the one with a marble texture. Thank you.

If I train hard the calves can I go run the day after?
Probably. Depends on your fitness.
Bouncing may not be great for hypertrophy, but I found it very useful for healing my plantar fasciatis. Only started to see significant improvement after I implemented that in my training.
How come you guys always wear bearfoot/minimalist shoes? It would be great if you could do a video on that?
1. We like them.
2. They sponsor our podcast and send us free shoes.

Goku level calves 💪

The best way to get huge calves is to train them. That’s where most out there fail.
calves won’t grow without surgery
This was 200% exactly what I was searched for
Net.search was not helpfull at all . Thanks
