Barbell-Down-Back Donkey Calf Raises in the Power Rack

http://www.powerfultrainingsecrets.com - if you don't have a donkey calf raise machine or a partner to ride on your back, THIS is the exercise you need. All you need is a rack and a barbell (and a calf block and a bar pad, if you've got one). You set one end higher, one end a bit lower then get your back underneath one end of the bar. Now it's just donkey calf raises from there. Works GREAT

uhhhh! that is a good way to do them?

@FitnessTrance Yep, it actually works VERY well - I like it better than most donkey machines I've used.

Awesome! Thank you so much, since I left the gym that's the one piece I thought I wouldn't be able to replicate.

@shawn8106 Just wait till you try it - I actually like it WAY better than any donkey machine I've every used because you don't get locked into the movement. The bar move pretty freely other than where it's pivoting on the rail.

Great video. This reminds me of the donkey calve raise lol.

@yyportne - yep, it's the same exact exercise just using a barbell!

I use the barbell and get in a back squat position, then get another single weight and place the front half or so on the weight and have my heels on the floor and its pretty effective

@nilssonnick Duh, I am an idiot. You said donkey calve raise in your title and description. All I saw was calve raise in the power rack. Anyhow ...
