Calf Exercises

[jbran23]

What are some different things I can do for calves? My gym has only a standing calf raise machine. I need a bit more variety.

[FireGuy]

Does your gym have a leg press? If so do them on that.

[jbran23]

Thanks Fireguy, it does. I'll give it a try.

Heavy dumbbells and a piece of wood(or anything really) a couple inches thick under your toes will do the trick. Stand up on your tippy toes and do about 20 reps x 5 sets.

One legged dumbbell calf raises.

Or use a smith machine to do one legged with a barbell.
