Tip
Angling your feet while
doing calf raises isn't the best way to target the different heads
of your gastrocnemius(calves). Instead, try using wide and narrow
stances to achieve much better results. A narrow stance - about
shoulder width or slightly narrower - forces you to rise on the
outside of your feet, stressing the outter head of the calves.
A wider stance - slightly wider than shoulder width will force
you to rise up on your big toes, transfering most of the resistance
to your inner calves.

Tip #2: Deltoids
Deltoids in bodybuilding is one of those body
parts that everyone wants to develop. Your delts (or shoulders)
as the extension to your chest, completes the upper portion of
your upperbody along with the trapezius. Your delts is not only
visually appealing, but at the same time, provide invaluable assitance
while bench pressing.

Tip
For this bodybuilding
tip, when performing lateral raises, many people tend to lean
backwards, this shifts the workload to your front delts - defeating
the purpose of lateral raises. To achieve the intended effect
with lateral raises, do the exercise leaning forward. This is
best done leaning your chest against a high-incline bench. With
a slight forward lean, you target the side head of your deltoids
rather than the front heads.
