The toes out seated calf raise targets your calf muscles from a different angle than regular calf raises. It builds stronger, more defined calves and improves ankle stability.
1. Sit on a seated calf raise machine or bench with a dumbbell on your thighs, turn your toes out about 45 degrees 2. Place the balls of your feet on the footplate with your heels hanging off, keep your toes pointed outward 3. Lower your heels as far down as possible to get a full stretch in your calves 4. Push through the balls of your feet and raise your heels as high as you can, focusing on the toes out seated calf raise movement 5. Hold the top position for a second, then slowly lower back down to complete your toes out seated calf raise rep
• Keep your toes pointed outward throughout the entire toes out seated calf raise movement - don't let them drift inward • Move slowly and controlled - rushing through the movement reduces the benefits • Get a full range of motion by going all the way up and all the way down • Keep your core tight and back straight during the toes out seated calf raise
• Bouncing at the bottom of the movement instead of controlling the stretch - this reduces effectiveness • Not maintaining the toes out position during the toes out seated calf raise - letting your feet turn inward • Using too much weight and sacrificing range of motion for heavier loads
