How to do the Cable Calve Raise
- Stand facing a low cable pulley with a straight bar attachment, with your feet hip-width apart, holding the bar in front of your hips with both hands.
- Push through your forefeet to raise your heels as high as possible.
- Pause for a second at the peak of the movement and then slowly lower your heels back to the starting position.
- Repeat for the desired repetitions.
Form tips
- Focus on moving only at the ankles to isolate your calves.
- Keep your knees slightly bent and avoid locking them out to minimize knee stress.
- Hold the top position for a second to maximize contraction.
