Is It Ok To Lift This Much?
Im not quite sure what the exersize is called but its the one where you have the weight on your shoulders and you stand up then move up and down on your tip toes. My question is about how safe this is mainly due to the presure on the back. I can now lift the whole stack plus more added on top and although I lift this with no problems, I did wonder how it effects the back. I already have red marks on my shoulders because of the weight.
Any advice ?

This is great if you're getting ready for physio - not a good idea.
Seated calf raised are more efficient and just as productive.

Change up your calf routine. You don't always have to do standing heel raises. Plus if you continue to do the same thing over and over your body is going to get used to it and as a result you will make no gains. There are a number of calf workouts you can do besides standing calf raises.

I see no harm, as long as your form is correct. It will build BMD.
Seated Calf raises works the soleus primarily because it is a two joint muscle and it is stressed when the knee is bent. The gastrocnemius is more stressed when doing standing calf raises because it is a one joint muscle.
