How to perform

Set up a bench or elevated platform to support your legs for this calf exercise. Securely sit with your knees bent and a barbell positioned comfortably across your thighs. Drive through your heels to lift your body upward, squeezing your calf muscles at the peak of the movement. Gradually return to the initial position to complete each repetition.

Tips

Maintain a stable knee angle throughout the exercise. Tighten your abdominal muscles to help stabilize your core. Extend your ankles fully at the top of the movement to maximize the stretch and contraction. Lower the weight with a controlled motion.
