Barbell Standing Calf Raise
Bar on the back, toes on a step: rise to the top of the range and lower to a full stretch.
How to do it
Setup
Bar on the upper back, balls of the feet on a step, heels hanging.
Steps
- Rise as high as the ankles allow.
- Pause at the top.
- Lower into a full stretch below the step.
Common mistakes
Bouncing out of the stretch: pause down there. Knees bending into a leg drive: legs long; ankles only. Balance stealing the set: rack the bar near a support.
Breathing
Exhale rising, inhale lowering.
