These steps are written specifically for the Full-ROM bilateral soleus raise. Follow them in order and stop before you lose the position.

  1. 01
    Set up your version

    Set up specifically for the Full-ROM bilateral soleus raise. Sit with knees bent near 90 degrees, forefeet on a small step, and the load secured across the thighs.

  2. 02
    Move the pattern

    Let the heels sink, then press the floor away through the balls of the feet to raise the heels.

  3. 03
    Match the demand

    Move through the full range only while every part of the rep stays controlled. Use both sides together and keep the effort symmetrical.

  4. 04
    Finish with control

    Pause at the highest steady position and lower fully without letting the knees drift around. Pause high over the forefoot.
