Calf Exercises | Single Leg Calf Raise without a Machine (Donkey) Video Tutorial

In this instructional video demonstration I show you how to stimulate the calf muscles without a specific machine. This exercise is performed as part of a Calf training routine.

I was having problems doing standing barbell calf raises concerning safety and stability; so I thought about simulating a Donkey Calf Raise.

You don’t necessarily need a Power Rack to do these in, but you will need something to balance yourself.

The single leg calf raise is an effective exercise and alternating between legs with no rest is a great way to really fry those hard to train calves!

Home Physique is an ongoing project started by me to show my transformation from a chubby couch potato into a competing amateur body builder. My site is dedicated to motivating and inspiring others to achieve their goals and offers free advice, tips and information on exercises, routines and nutrition guides along with supplement and equipment reviews.

I started out at 230lbs on January 1st 2011 and currently I am down at 180lbs. My goal is to get into single digit body fat % and compete in some shows before I hit 30 years of age. I would greatly appreciate it if you join me on my journey; maybe you will learn something new or even teach me!

I’m no expert nor do I tout myself as one. All I know is that what I have learnt so far has worked for me and it will probably work for you too. I’m always open to peoples opinions and critcism – we are all here to learn! If you want to contact me I am accessible via the Facebook, Twitter and email links (not forgetting on YouTube itself).

Don’t forget to subscribe – I really appreciate the support.
