Anyone tried the Clegenatur Methods (look on google search engine)? We’ve heard many awesome things about it. a lot of people increase their breast size naturally using it.
Is there one for running? And also my left inner hamstring is too lose and under active so I feel my hamstring isn’t doing its job, help with that too??
Watching this to understand what is causing me pain during walking. The pain is located behind my calf at the extension start and stops as i flex. Basically i have nerve issues but i also think my glutes and or hamstrings are transferring too much power to a weaker calf which is straining it.
Doesn’t the quadratus lumborum engage on the opposite side as the foot contacts the ground?
Everyone is able to gain more than 10 pounds muscle mass in 8 weeks and get ripped
Am I the only one watchin this to figure out how to make a working creature in evolution heheh
Is it possible the run this data through a tens unit and make someone walk ��
From my experience, you can hit your calves all you want, it won’t make much of a visual difference.
should calf racism be done with or without weights?..
in all seriousness, should I use weights or not? I have scrawny calves, but my ankles are really weak and I can’t really work out too intensely without throwing up or having a seizure
Very good animation!
Shouldn’t the hamstrings also activate to some degree to flex the knee right after the foot leaving the ground? (after the calves plantarflexing the ankle?)
hey elliot/guys. do the GH machine and legpress machine count as isolation exercises machines? also. a friend who plays rugby with me is just coming back from a minor (grade1) hammy tear. he’s had a history of these minor tears. after watching this really good video im thinking; would taking him to the gym for functional leg weight training help him? he’s also never done weights in his life.
Great work! Can we use this video for our project on indiegogo.com?
Hey i wonder i jog beceause i do boxing. But i eat 300 g to 400g of meat before can i build muscle with this?
walking is great for weight loss, good video bro, keep up the great work ☺
I had a dream that Jeff was in my house, and we trained together.. Imagine how bad I felt after I woke up:/
thanks for your work, it’s very usefull for our school project!
Brisk fasted walking is the secret technique of bodybuilders. The problem is that most people dismiss it as too easy or simplistic.
hey jeff im 14 years old. i have been working out properly for about 6 mouths, i have recently increase the amount of times i work out from 2 or3 -> 5 days a week. i have also just recently increased my daily calorie intake from 1500 to about 3000-3500. i work out quads and calves on Monday, chest on Wednesday, arms on Thursday, shoulders on Friday and back and hamstrings on Saturday. is this healthy and ok for me to do if i use proper form(which i do,i have practiced with low weight)? thx
While watching this video Jeff I came up with an idea I pick up a 40lb and hold it in 1 hand while I watch a type this message holding it for 4 mins each
Benefits of my heel and toe walking Regime
For some time now my feet have been killing me, I did a lot of limping, I tried insoles and other stuff, no good at all, I went on line seeking help, one web site suggested what they call heel and toe walking, striking the floor with your heel, rolling the feet and taking off on your toes, I took it seriously, I think I must have been walking flat footed, here are the amazing things that happened.
Wonderful, life changing!
Balance.
Correct walking affects the muscles in the feet, the legs and beyond.
I don’t limp anymore the reason I started this method of walking.
For a short while my thigh muscles ached, that is good.
I can now wear shoes I was reluctant to wear because they hurt my feet.
I am not at all unsteady when I walk now.
Walking on cobbled streets in Lancaster I always avoided because I felt unsteady walking on them, not anymore I make a point of walking on them now.
Steps I avoided because I felt unsteady walking up and down them, much better.
I feel a lot more confident.
Here is the BIG one
The Pelvic Floor Muscle.
I had prostate cancer some years ago and had to have it surgically removed resulting in incontinence, I did the kegal exercises but it was a waste of time so I gave up, I wear pads and change them every day sometimes twice a day, after doing my new walking regime after not very long I noticed one night when I took one off it was dry, never happened before, now they are either dry or not very wet, also every morning about six I need to pee, I had to grab my willy to stop myself peeing on the floor on my way to the toilet, not anymore, if I was caught short often I would wet myself as I undid my pants, not anymore, I wore my pads for three days with hardly any leakage!
One problem was drinking beer, bitter/real ale, if I tried a pint it was as if my body was a drain pipe, I quickly wet my pants, it’s a diuretic, Guinness and wine were OK, after the improvements with the pad I decided to try and drink a pint to see what would happen, I stayed dry, next day I had two pints, I stayed dry!
As I said wonderful and life changing.
Not bad for a man who is 79 years old!

Just joined your sight last night. Can’t believe I haven’t seen you before. Love your enthusiasm and straight talking. Thanks
I’m not ripped ( I’ve actually always been flabby ) but I have an insane amount of endurance and very strong legs thanks to walking roughly 8-10km daily due to my cleaning job.I can almost outperform and outlast just about anybody. If I didn’t eat garbage,I would also have the body to show for it
What weight do you guys recommend me using? I weigh about 155
I cannot believe this, I walk, speed walking daily,… and calves are very developed yet my hamstrings muscles…which I se in this video as active more than the calf…my hamstrings muscles are way underdeveloped and I have seen no improvement in over two years of speed walking. This cannot be right. I am a heal to toe balanced walker, fyi.
Front muscles are stabilising muscles. The rear muscles are responsible for forward propelling…
in last 3 weeks I walked almost every day from 30 min to 2hrs, found it very relaxing and a good aid for recovery after bodyweight training. I am an avid cyclist but seems that building muscles and extended cardio training don’t have a nice relationship, sort of testosterone-cortisol ratio
I said to my friend what can I do about my tiny legs. He recommended loads of calve raises to. I have been picking up tiny cows for over 5 years now and NOTHING has happened!
Elliott is great and his in depth knowledge is appreciated. But some days I’m not really in that mood and just want the steak n’ potatoes of the clip. If you’re havin 1 of those days skip to 2:03.
Im a one month one a gym…i don’t like the smith muchine calvs exercises..
Why people say you need 2 exercises for calvs? One seated and one standing?
What can i do in the gym to cover all the calvs exercises…( My calves are terrible
I use one of these https://www.decathlon.in/p/8353819/cross-training-pull-up-bars/strength-training-pull-up-bar-100-cm
Put it near the ground and stand on it
I think everyone should do both, even athletes, squats and lunges should be the base of your leg workout but I think you should do leg extensions or curls also.
When you talk about the reps here, do you mean per day, per set or per week? For example when you say minimum should be 20 reps
this video is great. and other people don’t assume knowledge. until you know the person don’t attack! LOGIC. There are tooooo many bros in the gym who don’t understand muscle macanics. this is a must watch!
The show room dancers here in Vegas all have great calves and they never did calf raises? Ballet dancers have great calves but they are up on their toes a lot
So weird how people say cycling will build calves. I cycle everywhere, never feel any type of soreness in my calves and my calves are fucking shite.
How the fuck are people cycling where they even use their calves?!
I tore my lateral and arterial knee ligaments last year 2013 july but now I need some a work program to recover my knee back to the real form
I walk a mile downhill then a mile uphill 4 days a week to get to the gym in Medellin Colombia. I’m visiting for 3 months, been here 5 days and my calves are sore everyday. Would you suggest I still train them directly 4 times a week? I’m 6″2 and have bird legs! Thanks
I rediscovered this video I’m definitely going to give this a shot I’ve skinny hi calves lool
Best explanation I’ve ever heard why compound, free-weight lifts are better than machines and isolation for athletes. Train your body in isolation, easy way to get injured in the trenches.
Im a teenager and I really need/want a good workout but I cant afford this, anybody got a good workout?
a lot of balance. legs are fried. zero momentum. all of these add up to a hell of an exercise. love your videos, they actually educate the viewer with solid scientific information.
I believe you meant the iliopsoas? There is no Lliopsoas. Please fact check before posting educational material…
Walk…. Brisk walking up hill as much as possible,walk at least an hour a day 5x a week. there is your secret.
roll vs get up high on the toes? the toes get in the way? this is new info. NEVER heard anyone recomend this. please explain further
Whenever I experience something similar already YouTube just steps right to show a bandwagon or something.
Rows have always been one of my least favorite excercises, but now that I know about the Terminator Row, I think that’s about to change.
By “4 to 5 times a week” and “rep ranges from 20 to 50”, you mean with no overweight, right? Just doing it bodyweight style, is that so?
My glutes don’t seem to activate when I walk. And now I have a tight piriformis.
always had really small calves/legs. genetics. Been doing this exercise for a while now. I am about 75kg and doing repetitions on one leg, going as low as i can and ending as high as i can, slowly and holding the highest position for a bit.. In the beginning it was hard to go up and down 8-9 times on each leg. Now i can do 20 easily on each. For 3 sets with couple minutes in between. Not sure if my calves are any bigger but any improvement is good. I also don’t know what is better, doing lots of repetitions fast, or fewer of them slowly. Starting today i will try to keep reps at 10, and increase weight. Will see if that is any better.
I’d break that contraption I’m 265 pound what else would you suggest I use
Fucking love the originals!Hate the new ones. Sorry Elliot!! Still much love to you
The main thing people need to understand, is that Protein Mass and Liquid mass are 2 ways to grow muscle.
Protein mass makes you stronger. Liquid mass makes you go longer at high intensity. But liquid mass does not contribute to your strength, in fact is weighs you down and makes your muscles look like water balloons.
Athletes should focus on building Protein mass, most bodybuilder stuff is for building liquid mass which fades quickly from lack of training.
When I saw this last year, I honestly thought it was nonsense..
However, recently I’ve had really bad pain in my metatarsophalangeal joint of my big toe.
An x-ray revealed that the cartilage has worn really thin. Consequently, it’s going to be knackered. The outlook is osteoarthritis I suppose. ��
A lot of the exercises I love are really difficult now, including calf raises and my all time favourite, lunges.
The action of bending my big toe back is really uncomfortable now.
So now, the contraption that I ridiculed a year ago, could well be my saviour as far as calf raises is concerned.
Many thanks, Matt ����
If i do that into my House i gotta get killed by neighbours..
how far though of insurance training is good for slimming down legs in 2-3 weeks to a month????
This is the best calf workout i get fucking gains in 1 month doing this every day (100 reps 5-6sec per rep)
For some reason just when i walk more my legs get bigger, i have done squats and lunges for years. But longer walks and spin bikes work the best for my legs.
Volume is important, for some more important than intensity
This is a brilliant invention. Why not patent it and officially launch it as a gym equipment!
Thank goodness for YouTube..otherwise what would all these light skinned black men with light eyes do with their free time? =)
Great form of improve de strenght to the upper body.. So the lower body works either? Thanks
Calves is definitely genetics. My calves split in 2 like a heart, I’ve never done anything for them. I have always been told I have big calves too. They are 17 inches in circumference and I do nothing for them. They also hang very low. But I read an article that big calves suck for sprinting sports. Iam very heavy footed, I was never a fast runner and never been fat.
Hey there. Can you recommend some home bodyweight calves workouts because I can’t go to the gym or get that pipe stuff.
Things like: bike riding, jump rope, and so on. Are they good and effective?? Thank you.
Hey Strength Camp how are you hope your well, I used to squat and I loved it the best thing ever but it’s been almost 2 years now since my back injury and I see a chiropractor ones a month now, when I did squats my legs and butt would just grow and it would look good and I would feel good also, but now it’s all gone back to square one flat and chicken legs someone said cycling makes your legs bigger but then some people say you lose body fat and cycling tones the legs and butt not building, I really want to grow my legs and butt again any ideas as I can’t workout at this moment in time thanks happy holidays
Great tip Matt, built my pipe…question is it worth varying the calf raise? as in heels flared and toes flared forming a V….i have done in the past and nothing…thoughts? any tips for making the calf work harder on the pipe?
When riding the mountain bike to build calves, SPIN not pushing hard gears
Hey there, very good video! I started with this exercise like a month ago, the first two trainings with this exercise were so damn difficult but I felt so satisfied, I felt those calves just right, but after a month or so doing this exercise I don’t feel anything after it, I do 4 sets 50 reps, full range of motion and yea it burns a bit but I feel like my calves are getting weaker, could someone please help me with this recent problem? Sorry if it’s a bit trivial thing to ask.. I just want to make sure:D
interesting.
Add the animal kingdom for some fun too.
Frog jumps, crab walks, duck walks.
I am 12 and a have regnal xc finals in just under 2 weeks how should I build my legs because I cant hit the gym??
No bouncing….whuuuuuuuuut? I’m outta here! Great video! Going to Lowe’s to pick up the materials as we speak.
He’s right because ballerinas always have developed calves…its all about getting your foot to be in that fully contracted position ie toes pointed of as they say in ballet “work on your points”
While going down the heel of your feet just touches the ground.. So does mine. Wouldn’t this take the tension of the feet?Shouldn’t the feet still be suspended in the air
I have started going for long walks and it’s the most underrated form of exercise.
I’m gonna start walking again to aid with my lower back pain/sciatica recovery. Seems like I herniated a disc due to overexertion on gym day. Thanks for the tip and wish me luck!
just like any other muscle stretch and squeeze. most people can’t stretch in a rep cause they walk around in conventional high heel shoes that shorten the calf. get barefoot shoes I wear them on concrete for 12 hours a day no pain.
Your intro reminds me of Limit by Deichkind.:D https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=fhlz0-lCahM Great content and channel btw.
“Best Exercise For Building Massively Slow Legs” that get tired really quickly.:) But they are massive.
Guys. enhance your bust size naturally doesn’t need to be hard (I used to think it did). I’m going to give you some advice now. Look for a popular breast enlargement secrets called Clegenatur Methods (look on google search engine). Thanks to it I have increase my breast size by two cups. I shouldn’t even be speaking about it cause I do not really want a bunch of other guys out there running exactly the same game but whatever. I’m just simply in a excellent mood today so I will share the wealth lol.
i have had metatarsal injury in the ball of my foot and am afraid to put pressure on it. any advice?
“That’s Her hot towards her head” lmaooo. The words on the screen are jacked lol
Can u please make more videos on lower body leg development? I can’t believe those are your calves! They are massive!
must be so much harder if you only have round dumbells for the first part
What is her name? Can you provide a link to follow her? She is wonderful!
A perfect cardio for non lifting days or for warming before lifting. Perfect!
Matt where can I get one of those calf pipes. Did you make it yourself?
Then it’d be even more beneficial as you wil have to balance the weight, using the core and other muscles s stabilisers. More gains:P
Suggestion: First off you are right about the shoe thing and I think that even extends to any exercise involving the legs such as lunges. Try using the same technique you use with the pull up mentioned only with the calf raises. I use the steps with the balls of both feet as you rightly suggest but get a rhythm going alternating focus on one foot then the other with full range.
amazing, this combination of a big musclegroup with small ones is perfect!!!!!
I’m not even gonna watch this. Ok well I will anyways. But before I hear anything he says I’m gonna tell you right tf now the one thing you need is squats to build your lower body. For the best you’d want squats and deadlifts, but for your legs especially just do squats.
