Cable Standing One-Leg Calf Raise
The one-leg calf raise at a cable column, the low cable pulling down from a hip belt, the hands on the frame for balance.
How to do it
Setup
Facing the stack, low cable on a hip belt, one foot on a plate, the other hooked behind.
Steps
- Rise on the working foot as high as the heel goes.
- Hips over the foot, the cable hanging straight.
- Lower the heel, and trade legs when the set is done.
Common mistakes
Pulling on the frame: the hands only balance. Hips drifting toward the stack: stand back until the cable hangs straight. Knee bending to heave the weight: the leg stays long.
Breathing
Exhale rising, inhale lowering.
