Dumbbell Seated One-Leg Calf Raise
The seated calf raise on one leg, a single dumbbell across the working knee and the ball of that foot on a step.
How to do it
Setup
Seated, the ball of one foot on a step's edge, a dumbbell across that knee.
Steps
- Raise the heel and push the bell up with the knee.
- Pause at the top.
- Lower past the step's edge; switch legs after the set.
Common mistakes
Bell sitting back on the thigh: move it forward onto the knee. Leaning over the working leg: sit tall and square. More reps on the stronger side: match the count leg for leg.
Breathing
Exhale rising, inhale lowering.
