Just wondering. I have a lot of workout equipment but no calf machine. Is there any way to substitute calf workouts in freeweights?

You can also do standing calf raises on the edge of a stair, also holding dbells.

Single leg calf raises on the stairs work too. Be sure to use the bottom step instead of the top one if you use weights. Also you can hold a barbell on your shoulders as well.
