Happy Monday Y’all!!! 🔥🔥🔥 So most people know it is important to hit every muscle so imbalances aren’t created. But there are multiple muscles inside main muscle groups, such as calves. Did you know inside your calves there are two muscles? One of them is activated when your knee is bent and the other is activated when your knee is straight. That is why both the standing and seated calf raises are necessary in order to have well rounded calves. - The two muscles in the calf are the Gastrocnemius and the Soleus. The Gastrocnemius is activated when your leg is straight. The Soleus muscle is activated when your leg is bent. The Gastrocnemius is the muscle that is visible on the back of your calf while the Soleus lies deeper in your leg and cannot be seen usually. However just because you can’t see a muscle doesn’t mean you shouldn’t work it. - Make it a Great Day!👍🏼🔥 • #fitness #fiteducation #exercisescience #anatomy #anatomyandphysiology #physiology #exercisephysiology #calves #calf #calfworkout #calvesworkout #calfraises #legworkout #legday #lowerbody #strengthtraining #athletictraining #athlete #strength #power #believeinyourself #beconfident #jesus #christ #heisgreaterthani #gastrocnemius #soleus (at Texas A&M University) https://www.instagram.com/henryholdenfitness/p/BulsVHElXmB/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=p8auxaoxm9ma
