Leg Press Calf Raise

Sit in the leg press with your legs extended and only the balls of your feet on the bottom edge of the platform, heels hanging off. Let the weight lower your heels down for a stretch, then press through the balls of your feet to push the platform away by flexing your ankles. Keep your knees at a fixed, slightly soft angle throughout rather than letting them bend and straighten; the seat and back pad handle the balancing for you, so the only thing moving should be your ankles. That stability makes it easier to load heavier than a standing raise while still getting a full stretch at the bottom.
