The one leg smith machine seated calf raise builds bigger, stronger calves one leg at a time. It fixes muscle imbalances and gives you more range of motion than regular calf raises.
1. Sit on the smith machine bench with the bar across your thighs. Place a weight plate under your working foot. 2. Position the ball of one foot on the edge of the plate. Keep your other leg out of the way. 3. Release the smith machine bar and let your heel drop below the plate level for a deep stretch. 4. Push through your toes to raise your heel as high as possible. Squeeze your calf at the top. 5. Lower slowly back to the starting position. Complete all reps on one leg before switching to perform the one leg smith machine seated calf raise on the other side.
• Keep your knee directly over your toes throughout the entire one leg smith machine seated calf raise movement • Pause for 2 seconds at the top of each rep to maximize muscle activation • Use the full range of motion - go as low as possible and as high as possible during your one leg smith machine seated calf raise • Keep your core tight and back straight against the bench throughout the exercise
• Bouncing at the bottom instead of controlling the movement during your one leg smith machine seated calf raise • Not going through full range of motion - many people stop halfway up or don't stretch at the bottom • Rushing through reps instead of focusing on slow, controlled movement during the one leg smith machine seated calf raise
