Dumbbell Standing Calf Raises

July 15, 2008 in Exercise: Lower by GymJox

Bodybuilder Frank Sepe demonstrates how to properly performs Standing Calf Raises.

This exercise is great for killing the fuck out of your calves… and chances are that many of you guys need to work on your lower body a bit more anyway because no one likes to see chicken legs on a guy with a buffed out upper body.

Exercise Tips: Exhale as you raise up as high as you can go while standing on your toes.

At the highest point in the movement, squeeze and contract your calf muscles.

Slowly lower down to your heels while inhaling and preparing for the next repetition.

Lastly, try to use heavy weights for this exercise as your legs really need to be strained hard in order to grow effectively.
