Elevated Standing Calf Raise

About

Elevated Standing Calf Raise. This variation involves: Standing with the balls of your feet on a weight plate or step. Lowering your heels below the level of the plate to get a full stretch in the calves. Rising up onto your toes as high as possible, then lowering under control. It primarily works: Gastrocnemius (the larger calf muscle) Soleus (especially if you slightly bend your knees) For the best results: Keep your movement slow and controlled. Pause briefly at the top of each rep. Lower your heels fully to maximize the stretch. Hold onto a wall or machine for balance if needed.
