The Bent Knee Calf Raises are a great way to develop the musculature of the Calves (more specifically the Soleus, which is the lower and deeper of the two Calf muscles – the previous variants trains the Gastrocnemius), as well as stability at the Ankle joint (which is a very prone area for Sprains). Mixing in this variant is important due to its relationship with the Achillies Tendon, which can become prone to irritation when overused and under trained. The setup of this position is not ideal and may become a limiting factor. Therefore, feel free to block your rest and take mini breaks in the set if needed.
