Smith Machine Reverse Calf Raise

How to do it

1. Rack the Smith machine bar across the upper traps and stand with the heels on a low block, toes hanging off the front edge.
2. Set the feet hip width apart with the shins vertical and the knees soft.
3. Lower the toes down toward the floor to open up the front of the lower leg.
4. Lift the toes and the front of the feet upward as far as the position allows.
5. Hold briefly at the top of the lift before lowering back down under control.
6. Keep the movement slow throughout and avoid swinging the feet up quickly.
