The calves, composed of the gastrocnemius and soleus muscles, play a critical role in plantar flexion and can be effectively targeted using exercises like calf raises.
Incorporating the bench can improve your workout form and focus, enhancing muscle activation and growth through controlled movements and proper technique.
