How to perform

  1. 1

    Place a block about 12 inches in front of a flat bench.

  2. 2

    Sit on the bench and place the ball of your feet on the block.

  3. 3

    Have someone place a barbell over your upper thighs about 3 inches above your knees and hold it there. This will be your starting position.

  4. 4

    Raise up on your toes as high as possible as you squeeze the calves and as you breathe out.

  5. 5

    After a second contraction, slowly go back to the starting position. Tip: To get maximum benefit stretch your calves as far as you can.

  6. 6

    Repeat for the recommended amount of repetitions.

Important tips

  • Drive through your whole foot, not just your toes.

  • Keep your knees tracking over your toes.

  • An honest range of motion beats a heavier load.
