It's not so much seated, like you are on your butt, but it is how your flexion in your knee looks. So if you're doing a standing calf raise (straight leg) where your leg is basically straight, then that is going to train the gastrocnemius, the larger of the two calf muscles. Now if you do seated with your knee bent, then that's going to train more of the soleus calf muscle on the outside. So if size is the goal, you're going to want to do a majority of your work with the standing or relatively straight leg positioning for your calf raises. If you want to work on that outside, you're doing a side chest or something and you want to hit that soleus on the side, then seated calf raises are great. I would recommend a two to one ratio. Twice as many sets of standing/straight leg calf raises as seated. And if you had to pick one over the other, I would pick standing or straight leg. I aim to train calves 4-5 times a week for growth. How about you?
