Calves-SMR
Calves-SMR is a stretching exercise using foam roll that trains the calves.
StretchingFoam RollIntermediateStatic
Primary muscles: Calves
How to do it
- Begin seated on the floor. Place a foam roller underneath your lower leg. Your other leg can either be crossed over the opposite or be placed on the floor, supporting some of your weight. This will be your starting position.
- Place your hands to your side or just behind you, and press down to raise your hips off of the floor, placing much of your weight against your calf muscle. Roll from below the knee to above the ankle, pausing at points of tension for 10-30 seconds. Repeat for the other leg.
Track it with MyoAmigo
MyoAmigo pre-fills every set of the Calves-SMR from last time, charts your estimated 1RM trend so you can see strength move without testing a true max, and flags a stall with a concrete fix. It also credits this work toward your weekly Calves volume on the MyoMap heatmap. New to the movement? Start with picking a working weight and progressive overload.
