i train calves once a week, and honestly, i have never done toe raises on the leg press actually. ive never realized that, i guess ill try it tomorrow, tomorrow is leg day.
standing calf raise i do slow, but on the seated calve raise i do it pretty fast, but not to the point where im cheating and doing partials. its like doing a fast bench press, you lower the weight as if it was in free fall and then explode it into the positive contraction. i do the same with seated calve raises, and i feel the burn, but maybe it is because i dont do slow reps. ill try that too. the thing is i use to do slow reps on the calve raises, and i would never get anywhere. like i'd do reps real slow with 2 plates but it felt like i wasnt working it, and the weird thing is my knees would start to shake when i did even the lightest weight after a certain amount. i felt i wasnt going anywhere strength wise. (ive been training for 5 years).
