Exercise Instructions:
The one leg 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 your left foot. The ball of your foot should be on the edge, then let your heel drop as far as possible without hitting the floor. This is the starting position. Slowly raise your heel as far as possible. Pause and squeeze the calf, then slowly lower back to the starting position. Repeat for desired reps, the repeat on the right leg.
Tips:
Always work your weakest leg first, in most cases this will be your left leg. Use a full range of motion by allowing the heel to drop as far as possible and then raising as high as you can. Do not let your foot come forward on the block as this makes the exercise easier!
