Bodyweight Standing Pulse Calf Raise
The bodyweight calf raise kept near the top: up on the toes, pulse through a short range without lowering the heels.
How to do it
Setup
Feet hip-width on the floor, up on the balls of the feet before the first pulse.
Steps
- Dip the heels a little, then drive back up.
- Keep every pulse short, heels off the floor.
- Lower the heels only when the set is done.
Common mistakes
Heels touching down between pulses: the calves never rest here. Pulses growing deeper as you tire: keep them short. Leaning forward to stay up: hips over the feet.
Breathing
Steady throughout; never held.
