About

It's a calf muscle workout where you can add loads using only barbells and benches even if you don't have a machine!

How to Seated Calf Raise

Starting Position

1. Sit on the bench and place the barbell on your knees.

2. Spread your legs shoulder-width apart.

Proper Form

1. Please raise your heels as high as possible to contract your calf muscles.

2. While resisting the weight, please stop so that your heels do not touch the ground.

Breathing Technique

Exhale when you raise your legs and inhale when you lower them.

Precautions

1. Please be careful not to let your knees spread apart.

2. Keep your chest up and engage your core to avoid bending your waist.
