The gastrocs are worked primarily when you do calf raises with a straight leg. The soleus gets most of the work during seated (bent leg) calf raises. ______________________ You don't win friends with salad |

Do you play alot or do alot olf running in general? If so this may have weakened your knees. Also, can anyone reccomend any other good exercises we can do? ______________________ http://groups.msn.com/YourBodyYourTemple |

| Under Construction Join Date: Aug 2005 Posts: 74 Rep Power: | yeah, love my football. Never had any knee injuries. Its only with squats that it happens, its weird because theres no pain, just a noise. Im just hoping it wears in? cheers sean ______________________ http://www.glcforum.com/forums/uploa...7_57_35415.jpg |

But remember when doing squats your knees take alot of pressure so if you feel pain from the core of the knee, stop! ______________________ http://groups.msn.com/YourBodyYourTemple |
