Correct Form
1. Sit on a bench with your knees bent under the Smith machine bar.
2. Position the bar across your thighs, just above your knees.
3. Place the balls of your feet on a weight plate, with your heels hanging off the edge.
4. Press through the balls of your feet to lift your heels as high as possible.
5. Slowly lower your heels back down below the level of the plate.
Common Mistake
Avoid jerky motions; execute the movement steadily and with control.
Pro Tips
1. Focus on a full range of motion, lifting your heels high and lowering them fully for maximum calf engagement.
2. Hold the top position briefly to further challenge your calves.
