Calves

[Pond Scum]

Hiya, I workout at home and have no calve machine so I usually do sanding calve raises on a phone book.

anyone have any other exersizes you can do without a machine?


thanks. ;-)

sit on the edge of your bench and put some weight on your thighs and put a phone book underneath your feet and now your doing seated calf raises

thank you, how much weight should I use at first?

i would try between 20 and 40 just for warm up and see how light it is. I think i was 100 for 20 reps within a couple of weeks for myself

Try standing calf raises with a B.B. and medium weight. Put a couple of plates on the floor and do seated calf raises with a dumbell or barbell . Do you have a smith machine ? You could do 1 legged calf raises on there with moderate weight.
