Exercise Instructions:
The cable calf raise can be done using a dip belt (as shown in our video) or by holding a rope or straight bar. Setup for the exercise by getting a step or block and placing it in front of a low pulley cable machine. Attach an extension and dip belt to the low pulley and select the weight you want to use on the stack. Step into the dip belt and position it around your waist comfortably. Step onto block with the balls of your feet on the edge and let your heels drop as far as possible without hitting the floor. This is the starting position. Slowly raise your heels as far as possible. Pause and squeeze the calves, then slowly lower back to the starting position. Repeat for desired reps.
Tips:
Use a full range of motion by pressing up as far as possible and letting your heels drop all the way down. Pause and squeeze the calves at the to of the movement for a count of 1-3 to add extra intensity.
