Rocking Standing Calf Raise

Technique

How to perform Rocking Standing Calf Raise

1. Set a barbell in a squat rack and position it across your upper-back muscles rather than your neck.
2. Unrack the bar and step clear with your feet about shoulder width apart and your torso upright.
3. Keeping your knees nearly straight, raise your heels to rise onto the balls of your feet.
4. Lower both heels back to the floor under control.
5. With the heels grounded, lift the fronts of your feet toward your shins without throwing your torso backward.
6. Lower the forefeet and continue alternating heel raises and forefoot raises.
7. Return the bar to the rack after the set.
