In this video we're looking at optimal training technique on different calf raise variations to maximize muscular development while avoiding injury.

Support Technique Tuesday: I am choosing to leave the entire Technique Tuesday Series COMPLETELY UNSPONSORED so I can focus all of my attention on delivering the relevant information. *Each episode takes ~30-40 hours to write, produce and edit.* If you're learning from these videos every week, consider supporting my work by trying one of my science-based training programs that best suits your goals.
