Proprioception, also often referred to as the sixth sense, was developed by the nervous system as a means to keep track of and control the different parts of the body. An example that enables one to best understand this sensory system is one showing what happens if this sensory system is no longer there.
The few coaching cues involved in the goblet squat more than suffice to get the job done: 1  Hold a weight against the chest. 2  Position your feet so your stance is a smidge outside shoulder-width, with your toes pointed slightly out. 3  Drop it like it's hot.  Go down as low as you can while keeping your feet flat on the floor.
First get under the pads of the standing calf raise machine, lock your knees and lower your heels as low as possible while keeping your knees locked. This will insure that both the soleus and the gastrocnemius are fully stretched. If you unlock the knees, the gastrocnemius will not have a full stretch. Hold the stretch for a full 15 seconds count. Bend you knee to lower the shoulder pads and take a five second break during which you increase the weight by 2-3 plates. Repeat the stretch-rest-add weight process for another 3-5 reps. Then proceed to the seated calf raise machine to give your soleus muscles a greater stretch.
