CALF RAISES ON HACK SQUAT
SHANTI’S FORM TIP: Position yourself the other
way around on the hack squat machine. Start with
your heels flat on the platform. You can also do this
with your heels over the edge of the platform for
more of a stretch. Raise yourself up onto your toes.
Be sure to really flex your calves at the top of this
movement for a one-count.
WHEN SHANTI DOES THIS: I usually include them
at the end of my chest and shoulder workout to
really finish off the calves.
HACK SQUAT:
SHANTI'S FORM TIP:
Position yourself in a hack
squat machine with your back
pressed firmly against the
back pad. Your feet should be
just beyond shoulder width
apart. Begin this exercise by
squatting as though you are
going to sit down in a chair.
Squat to a point where your
thighs become parallel to
the floor and then return to
the start position. Keep your
back straight as possible
throughout the move.
WHEN SHANTI DOES THIS: I do this at the end
of my quad workout to get an extra burn. M.E
