I'd change bi's to EZ/cambered bar and quads to squat

calves                             seated calve raises

Standing raises would be more effective overall. ;)

I dunno, i find seated raises to be better.  In terms of improving shape of calf, which is really what we all want.

In terms of overall development, standing is superior.  When the knee is bent, the soleus is the primary muscle and the gastrocnemius is secondary (almost in a "relaxed" state).  When the knee is straight, the gastroc is primary and the soleus is secondary.

oh, i know, but i find that the shape of gastroc (as we have already established on other threads) is largely genetic, but when it comes to projection of the gastroc, a developed soleus is crucial.  I feel that standing calf raises help significantly with the thickness of the calf from a side view, and i have genetically a well-shaped gastroc, so i prefer to target my soleus.

Currently, I train squats, front squats, rotator cuff (occasionally), benchpress and deadlifts.

So I would exclude the front squats and rotator cuff excersise.

I train the three lifts from different heights, take squats for example: I squat to an adjustable bench. Deadlifts, I have about six different heights where I pull from, going all the way from deep deadlifts to near-lock out. Benchpress, I have three different board sizes to get variation.

But basically, three different excersises.
