How to do it

Steps :

1.) Start by setting up the leg press machine with the amount of weight that you would like to perform for this exercise.

2.) Sit down with your back flat on the padding behind you and placing one leg on the platform in front of you.

3.) Slowly lift the weight off of the rack and shift your foot down so that only the ball of your foot is rested at the very edge of the platform.

4.) Extend your heel down as far as possible, feeling a stretch and squeezing your calf, hold for a count then return back to the starting position.

5.) Return back to the starting position.

6.) Repeat for as many reps and sets as desired.
