Hold the knee over the toes as you lower the heel, then press through the big-toe side to rise.

The added range is the progression; do not also chase more load or speed.

Deficit loaded KOT raise is a progression of Knee-Over-Toe Calf Raise. Use the written card above for its exact setup and execution.
Long range: Long range means the target muscle is challenged as it reaches a longer position.
