Donkey Calf Raise

How to

Machine
  1. 1 Hinge over with the hips under the pad, balls of the feet on the step.
  2. 2 Rise as high as possible onto the toes.
  3. 3 Lower slowly to a full stretch.

Tips

  • The hinged position stretches the calves more than a standing raise.
  • Keep the knees almost straight.
  • Pause at the bottom of each rep.

Common mistakes

  • Bending the knees to push the weight.
  • Bouncing.
  • Rounding the lower back under the pad.
