The Russian single leg calf raise
Russian authors N. Petrov and N. Osipchuk recommend the following calf drill. Hang a kettlebell or a barbell plate on a weight belt (I choose the one made by Iron Mind). Lean with your palms on a wall 3-5” away from your feet. Lift one foot and place it behind the knee of your planted straight leg. Do single leg heel raises.
This exercise has a different strength curve from the standing calf raise. In other words, “it hits the muscle from a different” angle. This makes it a good plateau buster if your calf progress has stalled.
Russian kettlebell power to you!
