Donkey Calf Raise on a Smith Machine

[Parabol0086]

What is this shit? Where's the homo piggy back? Where's the fun in this version?

[faribx1]

Seems like a very unnecessary workout

[rougedear]

Is it called a Donkey calf raise because the smith machine makes a noise like a donkey when he does it?

[wigglywig1]

is that John Cena?

[hYpNoXiDe]

I understand what he's saying. Must be because I'm aussie and can understand the accent.

[jprockjr]

good video man, didn't think of this, except my smith machine doesn't have ball bearings prob not as good

[sfmasterkush]

it wasnt until 14 seconds i realized this motherfucker is speaking english

[hakar92]

@sfmasterkush HAHAHAHAHAHAHAH

[sumballaboi]

@sfmasterkush clearly australian phaggot

[OllieMoe]

@sfmasterkush He's just an aussie bogan dude.

[coverdale20]

@sfmasterkush I was thinking the same exact thing...!!! LOL...!!! I couldn't understand what he was saying either...

[STAGEIIGN]

great video. thanx 4 posting. I was looken to buy a donkey calf machine but I have a Jones smith machine and it will work perfect with this exercise. thanx again

[69chunkylover69]

It would be nice to see someone that actually has big calves teach me how to do this.

[tiktokz1]

much better than having a few fat sweaty guys sitting on my back

[Musk1e]

Not popular exercise in prisons!

[sellyintegra]

@Musk1e lmfao

[jonaswtf]

@Musk1e HAAAAAAAAAAAHAAAAAAAAAA nice one. made my day, seriously!!!:D:D:D:D:DDD

[savemyplaylist]

@Musk1e hahahahahahahahh!!!

[hbeezey]

@Musk1e rofl

[bryanbbb]

I do it with a pad and the bar on my back as well. It felt fine and I was able to do 285 lbs. for 15 reps. I can see how it could be awkward though.

[trackboi512]

you rock!!

thx

[Musk1e]

I do them with the dip belt as well but slightly different. I wrap chain around bar hook on belt and but the bar between my legs and stand facing the side of the machine with my toes on the stepper. found this works better as the bar is directly under you. the way you you do it works but the bar pulls you forward and stresses the back.

[reddfoxsanford]

@Musk1e  I hear what you're saying but what do you use for support if you because there is no way to fit the bench in between the columns of the smith machine?

[EliteExtra]

why not wrap a towel around the bar and actually put the bar on the lower of your back like where the pad would go on a machine donkey calf raise?

[MrBodybuilder100]

because it feels like the bar will roll off your back... trust me i tried it today its weird lol. i ended up getting training partner to hop on my back.

[Luggerful]

As I don't have the belt needed, this is a great idea... I'll have to give it a try on my next leg day.

[wilhard45]

Because you would have difficulty reaching the bar to place back onto the smith machine safety hooks. Why would you put something heavy on your back where you could not reach it if you were in distress.

[fhunkymonkey]

@EliteExtra How do you unhook and hook it from such an awkward position then.

[hockeypark]

@EliteExtra because then it would be extremely difficult (and awkward) for you to release the smith machine bar from its hooks to begin the exercise if the bar is behind your back.

[blackhawk777]

when doing this, make sure there are no homo's in the gym.

[ChavoElSalamanca]

hahahhahahaha

[SFO14]

@blackhawk777 tell us what you look like and we'll do our best to avoid you

[superandom]

Yea because obviously homosexuals are going to rape you everytime you bend over...

[adegamisoumounopano]

AHAHAHHA!! i was laughing when i saw the video but this comment made me laugh more!

very good tips! both of you!

[Shiznitbanger]

main this is brilliant this is the only exercise i couldnt do in the gym and i knew it was beneficial ill be doing that first thing next time i go CHEERS DUDE

[pucholo143]

wow nice!!

[dynodad55]

massive calves nice video

[francewaze]

very nice ..

thank you

[AncerG]

Thanks for the tips, dude. I've been wanting to do 'donkeys' at the gym, but trying to get a couple of guys to sit on your back can disrupt their training, so I'll give that a try. Cheers!

[lukewhoa]

Plus they might feel a little wierded out. I know if some stranger came to me and asked to sit on their back, I would be wierded out.

[georgekora]

Good job! Thanks!
