Cable Standing Calf Raise
The cable standing calf raise provides smooth, constant tension throughout the full range of motion. Attach a belt or rope to a low cable, stand on a platform, and perform calf raises against the cable resistance.
How to Perform
Attach a hip belt or hold a rope handle connected to a low cable pulley.
Stand on a raised surface with the balls of your feet on the edge.
Lower your heels below the platform for a full stretch.
Press up onto the balls of your feet and squeeze at the top.
Common Mistakes to Avoid
Standing too far from the cable, which changes the resistance angle.
Using momentum to bounce through reps instead of controlled contractions.
Not using a raised surface, limiting the range of motion at the bottom.
