Leg Press Calf Raise
Toes on the bottom edge of the leg press platform: push it away with the ankles alone.
How to do it
Setup
In the leg press, toes on the platform's bottom edge, legs extended, knees soft.
Steps
- Push the platform away with the ankles alone.
- Pause at full extension.
- Let it return until the calves stretch deep.
Common mistakes
Knees bending to help: freeze them soft and still. Feet too high on the edge: only the toes and balls belong there. Racing: ankles love slow.
Breathing
Exhale pressing, inhale on the return.
