Welcome to the full guide on how to perform Standing Calf Raises from Built Fit. Below you will learn how to perfect your form and technique for this exercise. Be sure to read the information on how to start and perform the exercise and then view the images and video to see it in action. Built Fit stresses the importance on perfecting the form of Standing Calf Raises before you begin adding additional weight.

Starting Position: Stand on a standing calf machine with your toes on the machine and heels hanging off. Your shoulders should be under the pads and legs slightly bent to give yourself room to step up and lift the weight.
