Barbell Standing Single-Leg Calf Raise

Position a barbell across your upper back and stand with the ball of one foot on an elevated platform while keeping the other foot lifted or resting lightly.

Keep your torso upright and lower your heel slowly toward the floor until you feel a gentle stretch in your calf.

Press through the ball of your foot to raise your heel as high as possible, contracting your calf muscle at the top.

Lower your heel back down in a controlled motion to return to the starting position.
