In humans and some other mammals, the soleus is a powerful muscle in the back part of the lower leg (the calf). It runs from just below the knee to the heel, and is involved in standing and walking. It is closely connected to the gastrocnemius muscle and some anatomists consider them to be a single muscle, the triceps surae. Its name is derived from the Latin word "solea", meaning "sandal".
The soleus is located in the superficial posterior compartment of the leg. Not all mammals have a soleus muscle; one familiar species that lacks the soleus is the dog. Soleus is vestigial in the horse.
The soleus exhibits significant morphological differences across species. It is unipennate in many species. In some animals, such as the rabbit, it is fused for much of its length with the gastrocnemius muscle. In the human, soleus is a complex multi-pennate muscle, usually having a separate (posterior) aponeurosis from the gastrocnemius muscle. A majority of soleus muscle fibers originate from each side of the anterior aponeurosis, attached to the tibia and fibula. Other fibers originate from the posterior (back) surfaces of the head of the fibula and its upper quarter, as well as the middle third of the medial border of the tibia.

Soleus strengthening exercises are important in calf and lower leg injury rehab. In this video James demonstrates a great exercise for runners to build strength in the Soleus muscles, deep in the the calf complex of the lower leg. SUBSCRIBE: https://www.youtube.com/user/RunningRevolution
How to work both parts of the calves, the upper heads (gastrocnemius) and the lower portion of the calf (soleus).

In this video, I palpate the soleus muscle. The soleus attaches to both of the bones that make up the lower leg, and the calcaneus via the achilles tendon. Like many of the muscles in the human chain, the role of the soleus is (very often!) misunderstood. Unfortunately, the college text books lead everyone to believe that the muscle is primarily responsible for sagittal plane motion at the ankle joint in the open-chain. But, the truth is, the soleus is responsible for decelerating, and ...
In this video I demonstrate my approach to isolating out an injured or strained soleus muscle. Uphill running and long distance running can cause this overuse injury. However, it can be confused for a gastrocnemius muscle injury unless you isolate it out during the examination. My demonstrated technique explains how to do that.
My Site: http://fitnessoriented.com/ Thumbnail Image From © Sebastian Kaulitzki / Fotolia Many people struggle to develop their calves, which is a lagging body part in much of the population. Therefore, any advice helps! If one wants bigger calves, they should target their Gastrocnemius and Soleus muscle as much as possible. These are the two calf muscles. Regarding the calves, the Soleus muscle is much smaller than the Gastrocnemius. While the Soleus only crosses the ankle joint, the Gastrocnemius crosses the ankle and the knee. To target your Gastrocnemius, you are going to want to do standing calf raises. However, to isolate your Soleus muscle, you can take the Gastrocnemius out of the picture. Because it crosses your knee joint, when you bend your knee, that muscle gets put on...

Workin? on really servin? Him in praise
(Worship)
Workin? on really servin? Him in praise
(Worship, worship, worship)
Workin? on really servin? Him in praise
Gaze into His eyes, fantasize the last days
The last phase of God?s untouchable plan
Until then, worship His name
Through this black pen, writin? raps
Or anyway that I can, still praisin? God
'Cause that?s the way that I am, you might call me odd
But that?s aight, we are Souljahz of the Lord
And we are ready to fight, neva will we eva stop
We love Jesus from the bottom of our hearts to the top
Pumpin? God?s blood through our veins
Handcuffed to Jesus Christ and feet shackled in chains
And we don?t wanna be free, we just wanna see
The Savior and Creator of the heavens and seas
G?s not necessary because we
Only need two knees to bow down and worship G O D
Workin? on really servin? Him in praise

Workin? on really servin? Him in praise
(Worship, worship, worship)
Workin? on really servin? Him in praise
When I come through I?m breakin? buildings
And I?m makin? walls fall
Sit back and relax 'cause we got more in store for y?all
So listen up and listen good
We gotta praise God through our whole neighborhood
I should slow it down, so you can understand
What this flow is all about
And we can break down these sounds and take time to meditate
On the word of God so your wisdom can escalate
When you gonna put your foot down, take a note now
Acceptin? God is your only hope now
Reach down, deep down in your heart
You talk the talk but do you walk the walk?
You say you love God but do you really love God?
Will you still love God when situations get hard?
Or will you walk away, or will you get down and pray
And worship the Lord almighty like we?

The Lord almighty
Ain?t it odd people take God so lightly, check it
Satan is waitin? to fight me and you might say
That I?m dumb for walkin? away, I chose the right way
Despite the obstacles that stand
In my way don?t play praise God with two hands
Lift 'em up to the sky, head to the ground
Every knee will bow down, to Jesus don?t play around
And if you say you found God then prove it
Profess it with yo tongue you gotta mouth, son use it
Jesus is the name above all names
Forget a famous superstar, God possess all fame
He posses all thing around me, around me
Word, His Holy words neva seize to astound me
