🔥How to use the Donkey Calf Raise
Load the machine with an appropriate weight.
Stand on the foot platform with the balls of your feet on the edge and your heels hanging off.
Position your upper body under the pad and hold the handles firmly for stability.
Start with your heels lowered to get a good stretch through the calves.
Drive through the balls of your feet and raise your heels as high as you can.
Squeeze your calves at the top for 1–2 seconds.
Lower your heels slowly back to the starting position.
Repeat for controlled reps—don't bounce or use momentum.
Tip: Use a full range of motion and keep the movement controlled. The goal is to make the calves do the work, not simply move the weight.
