Exercise Instructions:
Setup for standing barbell calf raise by getting a block or step and placing it in front of you. Grasp a barbell and place it across the back of your shoulders. Make sure the bar sits across the muscles in your upper back, not your neck. Stand up on the block with the balls of your feet on the edge. Keeping balance, raise your heels off the floor. Squeeze the calves, then slowly lower back down as far as possible without letting your heels tough the floor. Repeat for desired reps.
Tips:
Keep the balls of your feet on the edge of the step, don't let your feet come forward as this makes the exercise less challenging. Keep the rep timing slow and controlled, don't "bounce".
