- Sit your hips back and down until you reach parallel 
- Push through your heels to stand up
- Keep the knees out on the way down and up

Barbell Front Squat

- Standing with your feet close, toed out and heels elevated
- Hold a single dumbbell in the goblet position
- Lower into the bottom of a squat at 90 degrees with the knees
- Stand up to just before full extension to keep constant tension

Heel Elevated Dumbbell Goblet Squat

- Start by taking a step forward so your back will be perpendicular to the ground when lowering
- Slightly narrower than shoulder width stance
- Keep your upper back on the bar as you lower down
- Keep knees out throughout the entire movement
- Reach parallel (or just passed) and push through your heels extending your legs to stand up

Smith Machine Hack Squat

- Sit on the machine with the pad at the bottom of your shin 
- Extend your legs engaging your quads 
- Pause at the top and lower slowly

Quad Extensions

- Adjust feet on top of plate for elevation
- Stand up onto your toes activating your calf muscles
- Lower slowly fully stretching the calf muscles

Machine Elevated Standing Calf Raise

- Holding dumbbells at your sides and toes elevated, plantar flex at the ankle 
- Pause at the top engaging your calf
- Slowly lower back down and get a full stretch in the muscle

Dumbbell Calf Raise

It’s always import to let the heart rate slow down to normal gradually for best recovery. As well as flush out the deoxygenated blood from the muscles.
