This workout involves exercises targeting the calves, utilizing a Smith Machine to provide stability and control during movements.
The Smith Machine ensures safety by restricting the barbell path, enabling advanced lifters to focus on exertion and technique.
Participants should ideally have over four years of weightlifting experience, allowing for performing complex movements with higher reps and weights tailored to their individual capability.
Calf muscles, located at the back of the lower leg, are essential for plantar flexion and are effectively isolated through specific variations of calf raises employing this equipment.
