Single-Leg Barbell Calf Raise
The single-leg calf raise with a bar on the back.
How to do it
Setup
Bar on the back, ball of one foot on a step, the other hooked behind; near a rack for safety.
Steps
- Rise on one leg to the top of the range.
- Pause with control.
- Lower into the stretch.
Common mistakes
Loading past balance: this variant is about the leg, not the bar; stay modest. Wobbling reps: slower tempo fixes most of it. Skipping the rack: set up inside one.
Breathing
Exhale rising, inhale lowering.
