This workout incorporates exercises tailored for optimal calf development by utilizing equipment typically available in a garage gym environment, such as dumbbells and squat racks, which are both versatile and space-efficient.
The routine considers physiological differences and sets reps and weights based on averages, for example, for women: 5'5" height, 140 lbs weight, 34 years old, though personal capability will vary.
Emphasis is placed on targeting the calf muscles, situated in the lower back of the leg, primarily responsible for plantar flexion, through exercises like variations of calf raises.
