Blood Volume (calves) — additional.
Execution
Two to three sets of 15–20. Lean forward early in the set, sit back as the set extends. Contraction, not weight — full stretch at the bottom, hard squeeze at the top.
The cue that matters
Lean forward early, sit back as the set extends. Contraction, not weight.
Common mistake
Bouncing the pad off the bottom stretch; the soleus only answers to the squeeze, exactly like the gastroc — and exactly like the arms.
