How to perform

Load the machine with the desired weight and take a seat. Sit down and position your feet on the sled with a shoulder width stance. Take a deep breath, extend your legs, but keep the safeties locked (if possible). Position your feet at the base of the platform and allow the heels to hang off. Lower the heels by dorsiflexing the ankles until the calves are fully stretched. Drive the weight back to the starting position by extending the ankles and flexing the calves. Repeat for the desired number of repetitions.

Tips

Always use safeties and be cautious when re-positioning your feet. Perform slow, controlled reps with a pause at the top. Keep a slight bend in the knees to avoid joint stress. Maintain consistent knee position throughout the set. Limit heel depth if you feel foot strain. Push through the ball of the foot, not the toes.
