Smith Machine Reverse Calf Raises
The Smith Machine Reverse Calf Raises is a strength movement that targets your calves. Here's how to do it with clean form.
How to do the Smith Machine Reverse Calf Raises
- Stand with your heels on a low plate or step, toes hanging off, and the bar resting lightly across your hips or lower quads.
- Dorsiflex by lifting your toes as high as possible, contracting the tibialis anterior.
- Lower slowly until toes point toward the floor, achieving a full stretch.
- Keep movement isolated to the ankle — don't rock at the hip.
