This exercise workes the muscles of the lower calf. You may work your calves slightly faster than other body parts. Be careful to keep the movement controlled.

How to do:

1.Sit in a bench with a heavy weight plate on your lap, near your
knees.

2. Your knees should be bent at a 90 degree angle.

3. Put the balls of your feet on the edge of a 4-6" block. Your
toes should be pointed forward.

4. Lower your heels as far as possible or until you notice a
good stretch in the calves.

5. Raise your heels as high as possible. Focus on your calves
doing all the work and hold for a feww seconds.

6. Repeat until failure or until you have completed the desired
number of repetitions.
