Correct Form
1. Stand under the Smith machine, bar across your upper back, one foot on a weight plate and the other slightly off the ground.
2. Engage your core, keep your chest up, and unlock the bar from the safety catches.
3. Push through the ball of your foot to lift your heel as high as possible, balancing on your leg.
4. Slowly lower your heel back down below the level of the plate, feeling a stretch in your calf.
5. Complete the set and alternate sides.
Common Mistake
Avoid using momentum; perform each rep slowly and with control.
Pro Tips
1. Keep your knee slightly bent to protect your joint.
2. Use a pad or towel on the bar to cushion your shoulders and reduce discomfort.
