Bent leg calf movements emphasis soleus, straight leg emphasizes gastrocnemius.

I'm not clicking the links, but make sure you have slow negatives and pause at the bottom. Don't bounce because the Achilles tendon will take over on the lift.

thanks...i do them right but i do not feel my calves such as standing..so do only standing?

I think you answered your own question. The weight you're holding onto looks incredibly light, and the set looks effortless.

ok and i will stop seated and i will stop when my heels touch the ground in standing calves raises?

Honestly, I don't feel much when performing seated calf raises.

If you don't feel it, up the weight.
Focus on full range of motion.
Slow reps as well.

I don't know why you would stop doing seated. You should be working both parts of your calves.

I used to not like doing seated calf raises because I would barely feel them, but if you really slow it down and focus on the negatives you should feel them.

They are my least favorite as well.

Now, or how?

I've used both the machine and a bench/plate on ground combination.

You can put a DB on your knee while sitting on a chair, u can use smith machine, or use seated CR Machine.. alot of other variations are available look them out.

I cannot understand your question. Perhaps use an online (free) translation service.

my questions is if i must have more range of motion in calves seated(put more plates under feets)..when i put 2 plates i must put 50-60 kg and feel the calves working..so i decided not work calves seated calves raises but only standing...
