The standing machine calf raise builds bigger, stronger calf muscles. It gives you better ankle stability and more explosive power for jumping and running.
1. Step onto the standing machine calf raise platform with the balls of your feet on the edge and heels hanging off. 2. Position your shoulders under the pads and stand tall with a slight bend in your knees. 3. Lower your heels as far as possible to get a deep stretch in your calves. 4. Push through the balls of your feet to raise your heels as high as possible during the standing machine calf raise. 5. Squeeze your calves at the top, then slowly lower back to the starting position with control.
• Keep your core tight and maintain good posture throughout the standing machine calf raise movement. • Move slowly and focus on the full range of motion - don't bounce at the bottom. • Keep most of your weight on your big toe and second toe for better balance. • Pause for a second at the top of each standing machine calf raise rep to maximize the squeeze.
• Using too much weight and not getting a full range of motion in your standing machine calf raise. • Bouncing at the bottom instead of using controlled movement through the stretch. • Leaning forward or backward instead of staying upright during the standing machine calf raise exercise.
