Standing Calf Raise (Smith)
Machine
Primary: Calves
Step-by-Step Instructions
Set the bar at the appropriate height, where you can unrack it as you fully extend your knees.
Add the appropriate weight and position a calf raise block under the bar.
Position your trapezius against the bar, grab it with both hands, and place the balls of your feet on the platform.
Engage your entire body and straighten your knees to unrack the bar.
Inhale and slowly lower yourself by allowing your ankles to flex. Keep your knees extended.
Pause briefly at the bottom and push through the balls of your feet to extend your ankles. Squeeze your calves and pause briefly as you exhale.
