[@steerpike66]

For a huge freak on stage, ben could almost pass for a normal human being in the off season. ALMOST.

[@velse9869]

Chazbot he was actually recovering from an injury around the time of this video. He shrunk a lot during that time.

[@chazbrennan9632]

[@keilinnstapleton9629]

Hey, Ben. Curious how you arrived at the name MI40 University

[@HumanGorillaHormone]

Do you feel like direct tibialis training is needed for lower leg development to accentuate the calf??

[@blueSfire77]

Great question! Would love to hear Ben's opinion on this. The tibialis anterior is one of the antagonists of the gastrocnemius en soleus muscles. The tibialis creates dorsiflexion aka pointing your toes to your shins. I think it is important to maintain a balance between these muscles to prevent the gastrocnemius en soleus from becoming too tight. An example is the squat: as your knees travel forward you need to have good dorsiflexion or else your heels will come of the ground and the weight is shifted on to the ball of your foot. You can train the tibialis during calve raises by really focusing on stretching at the bottom en consciously contracting the tibialis. Same as only training your triceps and no work for your biceps. That would create an imbalance in the elbow joint and possibly in the shoulder. I'm no expert on this so I may be wrong.

[@blueSfire77]

Sorry, wasn't finished watching the video when posting that reaction. Ben already explained the importance of contracting the tibialis at the bottom.

[@mussapie5002]

Epic......

[@stefanjensen3509]

Something really happend to your social skills latley Ben :) I really enjoy listening, your voice seems much more positive ^_^ keep them coming! By the way, what model of shoes are you using? Nike free? For the barefoot feeling :)

[@mattrubenstein86]

Where is the optimal part of the foot to place on the bar/pad? - Here your feet rest on the pad all the way behind the balls of your feet. This could lead to the feet pivoting and not really getting maximum tension? Behind/On/In Front of the balls of the feet?

[@kelvinthomas9060]

Contract tibialis interior... I don't have that... What to do??? 🤔🤔🤔

[@MeZzZzZzZzZzZzZzZzZ]

is this guy competing in the Mr O.? He's looking on the small side

[@aleale890]

Why are those last fibers so important? Haha

[@sandrexkelly]

coloca uma tradução para o Brazil

[@MeliorIlle]

Why has he lost so much weight? Did he retire?

[@JoeFlexYourSelf]

Is Ben done competing? Looks off everything.

[@gorillamode47]

+billytheweasel Genetics buddy, genetics.

[@brustbizepsjedentag5221]

#breiteralsdertürsteher ;)

[@Garcia-elf]

you mean parallel not perpendicular, bozo

[@DBowTX]

When speaking about the vector in which a weight exerts force, which he is, he is perpendicular to it.

[@Garcia-elf]

You're right but he clearly says "this pad is perpendicular to this one" not that the pad is perpendicuar to the force of the weight. He probably meant what you said, though.

[@mortgageloansandheavydumbbells]

Just realized i have the same shoes as Ben.

[@Vaddorrr]

Why sometimes when i train calves my feet cramp up

[@phatbastard2026]

did you not watch the video? Because that was clearly answered in it.

[@BIGDRESTA]
