Leg Press Calf Raises

How to do it

1. Sit in the leg press and put just the balls of your feet on the bottom edge of the platform.
2. Straighten your legs but keep a slight bend in the knees. Release the safeties.
3. Let the platform push your toes back into a full stretch.
4. Press the platform away using only your ankles.
5. Never lock your knees out - your ankles should be doing every bit of the movement.
