Smith Calf Raise (V2)

How to do it

Space your feet hip-width apart on the platform for even distribution.

1. 1

   Position the Smith machine bar at a height you can comfortably reach on your toes.

2. 2

   Place the balls of your feet on a raised platform with your heels hanging off.

3. 3

   Push up through the balls of your feet to raise your heels as high as possible.

4. 4

   Slowly lower your heels back down below the level of the platform to stretch your calves.

5. 5

   Repeat for the desired number of repetitions.
