Is my form correct?

Ok guys thank you for all the response, this was my first time with this exercise so I'm glad I asked since my form is really bad as it seems. I don't really have a diet/workout log, I do squats and my squat form is good, I was followed by a pt when I was learning it. I don't have a calf machine and I was looking for a way to train good and isolate the most my calves so if you have some advice for other calf exercises or to better the form it would be great 👍

@lucasibuca so are you going to start a LOG? you just ignoring us?
 
Well if it's that important I'll start one but first i'd like you to help me to better my form for calf raises of maybe suggest me some other exercises to train calf. Please consider I don't have any calf machine in my gym. Thank you

i think i misunderstood your first post and many others did as well. that machine you are using is for squats not calves is why. you can use the same machine for calf raises man. but need to square your hips and point your toes in the same spot. keep your legs straight, not sure why you are bending them. in fact here is what i recommend for you. use 1 leg at a time, so keep the one you are working straight and the other one bent. also don't forget when you work your calves you need to also work out the front of the lower leg too called the tibialis. do that by planting your heels and then raising the front of your foot where you feel it

if you want proper form on the upper legs a simple solution is getting on the squat rack and doing front squats or box squats. this forces you to use correct form, but once again square your legs properly and keep your feet planted and facing forward. forget normal squats for now until your form is corrected.

very tough to teach proper form on a forum without showing you. so might want to watch some videos online or get in person tips from people who know what they are talking about
