Announcing The Best Calf Muscle Exercises
That Make Building Calves Very Easy

This page is all about the calf muscle exercises you need to build the calves you want.

Building the calves is a daunting task for many people. If you have small calves and are looking to build them, I can tell you right now that the task is not easy...

I'm going to make it easier for you by sharing all my secrets with you. These are the same secrets I used to build my calves from 14 inches to over 17 inches.

The task of getting larger calves is almost impossible if you have bad genetics AND you have no idea what you're doing. BUT you've now found the right place.

With the information you'll find below on the best calf muscle exercises and the several related articles here at Weight Lifting Complete, you'll be well on your way to building the calves you want.

3 Major Muscle Groups of the Lower Leg...
Most People Only Work on One of These:

Most people work one of the major muscle groups of the calves... when they decide to work them. Others forget about the calves and don't even know they are there.

If you start working all 3 major muscle groups of the lower leg, you'll build your calves SO MUCH FASTER. The calves will look full because you've focused on every muscle in the lower leg.

Here are the 3 major muscle gorups of the lower leg:

1. Gastrocnemius

This is the largest calf muscle and the one that most people work. This is the one that you see when flexing and looking down at your calves.

Standing calf raise exercises, donkey calf raises, and all variations of those two calf muscle exercises will work the large gastrocnemius muscle. If the leg is not bent and you do a dalf raise, the gastrocnemius is being worked.

2. Soleus

The soleus another large calf muscle. If you looked at someones calves as you were standing behind them, you would see the soleus muscles running down both sides of the lower leg.

The soleus gives the calves depth and thickness because the soleus lies beneath the larger gastrocnemius muscle.

The soleus is worked during calf muscle exercises in which the knee is bent. So any variation of seated calf raises or squat raises will work the soleus.

3. Tibialis Anterior

The tibialis anterior is almost always ignored. It's the huge frontal muscle that you can see if you flex your toe upwards and watch the area below the front part of your knee.

This muscle goes all the way down the front part of your lower leg. If you haven't been working your tibialis anterior, you've been missing out!

Reverse calf raises of any type will work the tibialis anterior.

If you want to build the calves to their fullest potential, you MUST include calf muscle exercises that work each of the 3 major muscle groups listed above.
