CALVES
Seated Dumbbell Calf Raise
Sitting down for this raise removes the balance demand, so all your focus goes into working the calves hard. Holding a dumbbell over each knee lets each side carry its own load, which stops a stronger leg from covering for a weaker one. Good for building calf size while keeping both legs honest.
How to do it
- 1
Sit on a bench with a weight plate on the floor a foot or so in front of you.
- 2
Set the balls of both feet on the plate with your knees bent near ninety degrees and heels hanging free.
- 3
Rest a dumbbell on top of each thigh, keeping them off your kneecaps.
- 4
Let your heels sink below the plate to feel a stretch through the calves.
- 5
Press through the balls of your feet to lift the dumbbells and squeeze the calves at the top.
- 6
Lower back down slowly, keeping tension the whole way.
