Smith Machine Calf Raise
The Smith Machine Calf Raise is a strength movement that targets your calves. Here's how to do it with clean form.
How to do the Smith Machine Calf Raise
- Place the bar across your upper traps and stand with the balls of your feet on a platform, heels off the edge.
- Lower your heels as far as comfortable to get a full stretch at the bottom.
- Press up onto your toes as high as possible and hold briefly at the top.
- Move through the full range — no short, bouncy reps.
