HAMSTRINGS

Deadlift to Calf Raise

IntermediateBodyweight

A compound combo that tacks a calf raise onto the top of a deadlift, so you train the posterior chain and the calves in a single rep. The deadlift portion loads the hamstrings, glutes, and lower back, and the calf raise adds lower-leg strength and a balance challenge. Efficient for building the whole backside at once.

How to do it

  1. 1

    Set a loaded barbell on the floor in front of you, feet about shoulder-width apart.

  2. 2

    Squat down over the bar and take an overhand grip slightly wider than your shoulders.

  3. 3

    Brace your core, flatten your back, and lift your chest.

  4. 4

    Bring the bar back to touch your shins and set your back and shoulders to pull.

  5. 5

    Drive your hips forward and extend your legs powerfully to stand the bar up off the floor.

  6. 6

    Once standing, push up onto your toes for a calf raise, hold briefly, then lower and return to the start.
