Kettlebell Calf Raise and Front Squat
Two kettlebells in the rack: a calf raise at the top, then a front squat, one after the other in every rep.
How to do it
Setup
Two kettlebells racked at the shoulders, elbows tucked, feet hip-width.
Steps
- Rise onto the toes and lower the heels with control.
- Squat down with the bells held tight in the rack.
- Stand up and start the next calf raise.
Common mistakes
Wobbling on the toes: lower the heels before you squat. Bells pulling the chest forward in the squat: elbows in, chest tall. Rushing between the two parts: finish one before starting the next.
Breathing
Exhale on each rise, inhale lowering.
