Heel Raises on a Step

Description

Set up a step, a small bench, or a stable stool in front of a squat rack, then place the bar on your shoulders. Position the foot you are working above the step, without resting your heel, and rise up supported only on the ball of that foot. Try to hold the position for one second at the top before gently lowering back down to the starting position. Throughout, try to keep your foot as stiff as possible.
