How to perform

Stand upright in a calf raise machine with the pads resting on your shoulders and your forefoot secured on top of the platform. Hang your heels off of the platform and slightly flex your ankles to drop heel slightly to the floor. Brace your core to maintain a neutral spine before extending your ankles to raise your heels. Once you’ve reached full ankle extension, return to the starting position.

Muscles Worked

GastrocnemiusSoleus

Secondary: Tibialis posterior

Tips

Keep your core engaged and avoid leaning forward. Pause at the top for a full contraction, and lower your heels slowly for maximum tension.
