Standing calf raise in a bent-over (donkey)

This is another rather sophisticated piece of equipment that hasn't gained widespread popularity. The general recommendations are to perform the exercise at a moderate pace, pausing at the top and working through a full range of motion.

Nuances and Mistakes

1. This exercise allows for a greater stretch of the calf muscles. In fact, the lower the torso incline, the more the gastrocnemius muscles stretch.

2. A platform with a thickness of 6-7 cm is sufficient for the toes. This is enough to lower your heels completely. However, you should not place them on the floor; the heels must remain elevated at all times.

3. It is advisable to rise as high as possible, taking a small pause at the top.

4. Overall, this exercise can greatly diversify your training program and entertain those around you. :)
