Weighted Donkey Calf Raise With Weight Plate And Belt

How To Do A Weighted Donkey Calf Raise With Weight Plate And Belt Correctly

The weighted donkey calf raise with weight plate and belt is an excellent exercise to build your calf muscles.

If you have access to a donkey calf raise machine, use it.

If not, you can have a partner sit across your back, or do the same donkey calf raise movement using only your bodyweight.

Another way to add weight is by adding a weight plate to dip belt, or you could use a smith machine to do the donkey calf raise.

To get started:

1. Place a riser that’s 3-4 inches high beside an object like a bench or chair that you can hold onto for support.
2. With your toes on top of the riser, bend forward at your hips, knees slightly bent, while maintaining a flat back and holding onto a bench for support.
3. Under control, lower your heels towards the floor to feel a good stretch, then press your toes through the riser as you extend your calves to rise up onto your toes.
4. Hold for a good contraction, then lower and repeat.
