Equipment
barbell, bench, stable step
- Sit on a stable bench with the balls of both feet on a low stable block and your heels free to move.
- Rest a light bar across your thighs just above the knees and hold it securely with both hands. Use padding if needed for comfort.
- Raise both heels by pressing through your forefeet. Your knees and the supported bar rise a short distance while your hips stay seated.
- Lower your heels slowly through a comfortable range. Keep your forefeet in contact with the block and avoid bouncing.
Choose a comfortable range and use secure equipment. The illustration is a movement reference; stop if a movement causes pain.
