DECLINE TORSO TUCK
focus on bring hips close to spine and not
raising your knees. one is core and the other

to butcher them here.
3 sets : failure
not at the ankles, but on the feet. can also use a glute ham with a
foot plate so you can drive to plantar flexion on the toes. basically
all you do is push your body fwd and it drives tension into the
soleus muscle, and often neglected part of the calves. not anymore
for you.
