How to train calf explosive power

We all know that strong calf explosive power can make a person move faster, higher and stronger. But not everyone has outstanding calf explosive power. If it is due to innate lack of endowment, it can be improved through acquired efforts. If you know some knowledge and techniques about training calf explosive power, the efficiency of training will be greatly improved. Let’s take a look at it together below!

1. Peak Contraction: This is the main rule for developing very defined muscles. It requires that when a certain movement reaches the most tense position of muscle contraction, maintain this most tense state of contraction, do static exercises, and then slowly return to the starting position of the movement. My method is to count from 1 to 6 when the muscles feel the most tense, and then release them.

2. Multiple sets: Whenever you remember to exercise, you do 2-3 sets. This is actually a waste of time and will not help you build muscle. You must set aside 60 to 90 minutes to focus on training a certain part of your body, and do 8 to 10 sets of each movement to fully stimulate the muscles. At the same time, the muscles need a longer recovery time. Keep doing this until the muscles are saturated. The "saturation" is something you need to feel yourself. The appropriate standards are: soreness, swelling, numbness, firmness, fullness, expansion, and obvious thickness of the muscles.

3. High-density: "Density" refers to the rest time between two sets. Resting for only 1 minute or less is called high-density. To increase muscle mass quickly, you need to rest less and stimulate the muscles frequently. “Multiple groups” are also based on “high density”. When exercising, you should focus on training as if you were fighting a battle and not think about anything else.

In everything, we should pay attention to the combination of work and rest. In addition to getting more rest, we should also pay attention to stretching and relaxing our muscles. If conditions permit, it is best to take a bath or soak your feet to relax and relieve the muscles of the whole body, which can effectively prevent muscle soreness or injury. You can also apply heat or massage to relieve the pain.
