Barbell Calves Workouts

Barbell Calves Workouts

Using a barbell to work out your calves is a great way to hit that often overlooked muscle group. Using a barbell allows for more weight, more progressive overload, and more strength and muscle growth gains. While using heavyweight may be best for intermediate and advanced gym-goers, using lightweight can make barbell calf exercises beginner-friendly as well. With proper form, you can hit your calves in a unique way with barbell calf workouts. If you're looking for the perfect barbell calves workout, you've come to the right place.
