Step-by-step
- Sit on a bench with the ball of one foot on a block or plate
- Rest a dumbbell on that leg's knee
- Let the heel sink as low as possible
- Drive through the ball of the foot to lift the heel as high as you can
- Squeeze for one second at the top; finish the reps, then switch legs

Working one leg closes the size gap between your calves; start with the weaker side.
