How to do it
- Place a block a short step in front of a flat bench and set a loaded barbell on the floor beside it.
- Sit on the end of the bench with the balls of your feet on the block, then lift the bar onto your upper thighs just above the knees and hold it there with both hands. This will be your starting position.
- Raise your heels as high as possible as you squeeze the calves and breathe out, holding the top for a second.
- Lower slowly until the calves are stretched as you breathe in, and repeat for the recommended amount of repetitions.
