Dumbbell Seated One-Leg Calf Raise (Palm Up)
The seated one-leg calf raise with the dumbbell across the knee, held from below, palm up.
How to do it
Setup
Seated, one foot on a plate, a dumbbell across that knee, the hand under its handle.
Steps
- Cradle the bell against the knee and lift the heel.
- Squeeze the calf at the top.
- Let the heel sink, then do the other leg.
Common mistakes
Curling the bell off the knee: the palm cradles; the calf lifts. Wrist bending back under the load: keep it straight. Rising halfway: lift the heel all the way.
Breathing
Exhale rising, inhale lowering.
