Step by step instructions, muscle activation and variants for the Calf Raise Clap.
A plyometric bodyweight exercise where you explosively rise onto your toes and clap your hands at the top of the movement, adding an upper-body coordination element to a standard calf raise. The explosive nature of the exercise also recruits fast-twitch muscle fibres in the calves.
The Calf Raise Clap is a foundational movement that builds strength and muscle through controlled, progressive overload. Train it 1 to 2 times per week with 3 to 5 working sets per session, gradually adding weight or reps as form holds up.
