Calf Exercises

Calves point your foot down. Standing raises work the big muscle you can see. Seated raises work the one underneath, which is why both show up in most leg days.

Start the standing calf raise at about half your bodyweight on the machine and the seated raise with one 45 lb plate. Pause at the top and the bottom. Bouncing through reps is the mistake almost everyone makes.
