Jerry has been bodybuilding to improve his overall physique. today he is doing max leg reps. as he performs plantar flexion, his gastrocnemius alone cannot move the weight. what is the name of the muscle that helps facilitate the movement and the relationship it has to the gastrocnemius?

Answer :

Soleus muscle and gastrocnemius muscle are the two major muscles that make up the calf. Soleus muscle lies underneath the gastrocnemius muscle. It is a flat muscle and runs the entire length of the lower leg. Without this muscle Jerry's legwork could not be performed since it requires both these muscles plus the other minor parts of the leg.
