If you think you are destined to have small calves due to genetic limitations, I want to show you a very advanced method that will force your calves to grow.
Dr. Jacob Wilson and his team have been experimenting with a technique called, “intraset stretching” which produce’s maximum tension and therefore building new muscle fibers.

First we need to understand that muscle grows using the 3 mechanisms to hypertrophy. For more detailed information on the 3 mechanisms to hypertrophy, >> click here <<
- Mechanical Tension (Lifting Heavy/Myofibrillar Hypertrophy)
- Metabolic Stress (Sarcoplasmic Hypertrophy)
- Muscle Damage (DTRS, Super-Sets, Drop Sets, Intraset Stretching
Enter: Intra-Set-Stretching
Intraset stretching takes advantage of 2 primary factors of hypertrophy (mentioned above). It increases muscle damage (max tension) and increases cell swelling also known as the “pump.”
Combing these 2 factors leads to more growth!
Today’s article and video (presented by Bodybuilding.com and Project Mass) will show you a very powerful way to optimize muscle growth for calves by doing seated leg press. Get ready to experience a pain you may not be used to, but it’s well worth it!
Sets 3
Reps 8-12 (Intraset Stretching and Drop Set On All Sets)
Rest 90 Seconds
How to perform: Perform 8-12 reps on seated leg press and on your last rep hold the weight in the stretch position for 30 seconds. After 30 seconds drop the weight by 10-20% and perform another 8-12 reps. On your last rep hold the weight in the stretch position once again for another 30 seconds. Finally repeat one more time for a total of 3 drop and intraset stretching sets.
