Good the seated calve raises doing well for you but I would strongly suggest you don't do so many exercises for the same muscle group like the calves. Stick to one or two and hit it heavy and with intensity.
Agree. I'm still learning this stuff. Also, the standing calf raise doesn't give the best contraction and pump as the seated calf raise. I remember putting 80 on that and doing 4 sets of 8 to 12 with a long contraction at the end. I took away the angled leg press seeing that the Barbell Squat will be better. I do it barefooted too as I heard it's much better on the quads and leg muscles.
One more question. Would it be bad to do bodyweight exercises like chin-ups on cardio days? I want to perfect my chin-up and wide-grip. I only do 3 to 4 days of training, with 2 days rest. HIIT 2 times a week of course.
