Tips
Holding a dumbbell in your right hand, stand on a step or block with your right foot. Use your left hand to hold onto something for balance (ie..mantle, weight stack or incline bench) and hang your left leg behind you or cross your left foot behind your right ankle.
Balancing on the ball of your right foot, lower your heel until you feel a strong stretch down your calf, pause for a few seconds, then rise as high as possible onto the ball of your foot.
Do the desired number of repititions, then switch to your left leg and repeat the process — this time holding the dumbbell in your left hand.
