Calf Raise - Barbell
To get the barbell on your shoulders please use a barbell rack at just below shoulder level. Stand underneath the bar in a small squat making sure your back is straight. Stand with your feet hip-width apart and have the bar comfortably resting on your shoulders. Your feet should be slightly in front of the bar so that it feels as if you are putting your weight through your heels. Take the weight on your shoulders and step forwards away from the rack.
Stand with your feet shoulder-width apart and facing forwards.
Now go up on your tip toes in a nice slow controlled manner, once you are as high as you can go, slowly lower yourself back down again.
Just before your heels touch the ground go back up onto your tip toes.
Balance is key here for your safety so please perform this exercise with someone else to help you.
