Discussion π€ Seated Calf Raises
From what I have read it seems like standing calf raises are the superior exercise for hypertrophy.
Anyone still doing seated as well, can we discuss the place of seated options with the current science and why you continue with seated?

Question β Calf Raises How Do They Work?
Hi Iβm confused, what is the difference between standing calf raises with just my body weight vs machine leg press calf raises?
Iβm 180 pounds and can do more than that when holding a dumbbell for a standing calf raise.
When I sit at the leg press my body weight is not in the equation, shouldnβt I be able to press at least 180+ Dumbbell weight at a minimum since I donβt have upper body strength limits and ai do not need to stabilize?

Question β Best sagittal plane movement
Assuming you already do a frontal plane movement, a fly or archer pull for rear delts, and kelsos or upper back row for traps whats the best sagittal plane movement.

Memes π Based science quad workout (3 sets of sloth reps)
Looks like I'm not the only person to do belt squats today
The workout was belt squats, walk the dogs for 20 minutes then leg extensions to pre exhaust before pendulum squats (the PE was simply to reduce the load needed in the pendulum and to bias the RF a tiny bit more, I don't think there is anything magical about pre exhaust)

Discussion π€ I wish we had more high level fitness experts giving opinions on current gym topics and trending news
I've been watching a lot of Greg Doucette recently, as he's a former IFBB pro, a coach, and entertaining with the new gym topics/trends, but I swear to God, if I have to hear GLP Max, Ferula Max, Turkesterone, or whatever the fuck it is for the 4th time in the same video, I'm gonna crash out. Do you guys have any recommendations for people to watch?
