Hello, I wanted to know if my calf raises form in horizontal leg press is correct or not. I can feel calf work as quads and femoral but I guess it's normal. Anyway I wanted to know the opinion of someone more experienced. Thank you.
This is the link to my yt channel where I uploaded the video of my execution.

@lucasibuca thats not good form at all , are you squatting at all?
we need to see your training log to properly help you, seems you missing a ton of training the way you're doing things.
If you want us to really guide you, and we have 100s of years of experience between us, you need to post a LOG Journal with your stats (weight,height,age, years training, cycle history) diet, training, cardio, supplement, sleep details. If you don't log what you eat or train now, open NOTES on phone and start recording it there and paste here. Very easy.

Those looked like some kind of cave rasie modification? Way to far back on the execution the way the knees had been moving you could end up injured brother.
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

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
