Rocking Standing Calf Raise

This variation adds a rocking motion to the standard standing calf raise to work both the front and back of the lower leg.

Instructions

1. Step under a barbell in a squat rack and position it across your upper back.
2. Stand tall with feet shoulder-width apart, knees slightly bent, and back straight.
3. Raise your heels to contract your calves fully, then pause.
4. Lower your heels to the ground and immediately raise your toes by flexing your shins.
5. Alternate between the two positions in a slow, controlled motion.
6. Repeat for the desired number of repetitions.
