get up and move a tad every now and then so that your heel-hook induced hypertrophy settles in nicely:

2 sets of moderate continuous effort until u feel muscle worked

yes just hang from your heel as u point toes, hang your lower body on heel hooked at table height and lift lower body by bending knee slightly and holding that gastrocnemius contraction
>ok but huwhy 2 sets of isometric hold?
cause u're not warm before u do the thing, it can be 3 but it's simply too much - isometric hold is too potent to "spam" it
>but i want soleus also
that's another climbing movement - also in isometric hold u stand in front of wall and brace your knee/thigh into wall and you press it in with your calf, one at a time
>so i don't have to do millions of reps in thousands of sets of calf raises a week
nope, these straight up don't work cause gastrocnemius beds the knee not extends it like in calf raises, and if u try to go to "failure" on calf raises back of the knee will hurt and they won't grow anyways - that's gastrocnemius rubbing on bones of extended knee trying to work with soleus in ur retarded calf raising
