Sled Forward Angled Calf Raise
The calf raise facing into an angled sled, chest on its pad and shoulders under the pads; the hack calf raise turned around.
How to do it
Setup
Chest on the sled's pad, shoulders under its pads, balls of the feet on the platform.
Steps
- Rise onto the toes, driving the sled up its rails.
- Keep the chest on the pad and the knees straight.
- Lower the heels below the platform for a long stretch.
Common mistakes
Chest peeling off the pad: stay pressed in. Hips folding back as you rise: the body stays one line along the sled. Rushing the stretch: pause with the heels low.
Breathing
Exhale rising, inhale lowering.
