Weighted Seated Single Calf Raise
The plate-loaded seated calf raise on one leg: a small plate on the working knee, the other leg stretched out in front.
How to do it
Setup
Seated, one foot flat under the knee with a plate on it, the other leg straight out.
Steps
- Push the working heel up, lifting the plate.
- Pause with the knee over the foot.
- Set the heel down; change legs after the set.
Common mistakes
Plate drifting onto the thigh: keep it on the knee. Straight leg pushing on the floor: it only rests. Short lifts: take the heel all the way up.
Breathing
Exhale rising, inhale lowering.
