Instructions
Preparation
- Set barbell on power rack upper chest height with calf block
under barbell. Position back of shoulders under barbell with
both hands to sides. Position toes and balls of feet on calf
block with arches and heels extending off. Lean barbell against
rack and raise from supports by extending knees and hips. Support
barbell against verticals with both hands to sides.
Execution
- Raise heels by extending ankles as high as possible. Lower
heels by bending ankles until calves are stretched. Repeat.
Comments
- Position rack just below the lowest range of motion. Keep
knees straight throughout exercise or bend knees slightly only
during stretch. Quadriceps serve as a Synergists muscle if knees
are bent slightly during stretch.
