Machine Standing Calf Raises

1. Adjust the machine in accordance with your height and place your shoulders underneath the padded lever.


2. The balls of your feet should be supporting your weight on the calve block, your heels extending off of it.


3. Extend your heels upwards while keeping your knees stationary, and pause at the contracted position.

Machine Seated Calf Raises

1. Get comfortable on the machine, then place your lower thighs beneath the padded lever. Place your toes and the balls of your feet onto the foot supports.


2. Prevent the weight from slipping forward by gripping the handles, and release the safety bar. Lower the weight until your calves are extended.


3. Push your heels up to lift the padded lever and hold the contracted position, then slowly lower back down to the starting position. Repeat.

Barbell Calf Raises

1. Place the bar on your back. Start with feet flat on the ground.


2. Extend your heels upwards while keeping your knees stationary, and pause at the contracted position.


3. Slowly return to the starting position. Repeat.

Calves Stretch
